Cold but beautiful sunset

November 28, 2024Silhouette, SkyJonathan

Orange, yellow, and red clouds over a lakeshore behind the silhouettes of a tree and two strings of hanging lights.

As I watched the sun going down along Lake Monona yesterday, the wind and cold temperature were telling me that winter is knocking on the door.

Construction cranes

November 25, 2024Cityscape, SkyJonathan

Two cranes over a building that under construction, which is in between two other buildings. A flock of birds is seen flying next to the crane, through a moody and cloudy sky.

Ever present over downtown Madison.

The sun struggles to shine through a layer of grey clouds, behind several large, bare trees that are in silhouette.

Oh November, you sure are a moody one.

Almost full

November 13, 2024Astronomy, SkyJonathan

An almost full moon shines between some bare tree branches in a twilight blue sky.

I intended to shoot the sunset this evening, but the cloud deck moving in had other plans. The moon in the east was a pretty good consolation prize.

Since my bike will go into winter hibernation soon, a November ride under sunny skies is a welcome treat. Lower Yahara River Trail.

The milkweed’s patience

November 9, 2024Close Up, ThoughtsJonathan

Side view of a cluster of many seeds showing in an open milkweed seed pod.

I find it fascinating that in the end, milkweed plants put all of their energy into their seeds, only to have them wait to be released, wait for the wind to hopefully send them to fertile ground, wait through the winter, and wait to finally become a new milkweed plants in the spring.
