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.

Darkness

November 7, 2024Landscape, Politics, ThoughtsJonathan

A bare tree under dark grey, cloudy skies at dusk. In the background, several other bare trees can be seen in silhouette.

The usual November darkness seemed that much more dark, the day after Tuesday’s election. I’m trying hard to focus on positive things, I hope you’re able to do that as well.

November prairie grass

November 5, 2024Close Up, Prairie, TextureJonathan

A warm October ride

October 31, 2024Autumn, BicyclingJonathan

A paved bike trail leads off into the distance, past two maple trees with dark orange leaves in a grassy park.

Bike ride on October 29th in 80 degree weather? Don’t mind if I do!
