Autumn color developing

October 9, 2024Autumn, Hiking, Landscape, TreesJonathan

Looking down on the shore of a lake under a blue sky. Trees starting to turn their autumn colors fill the countryside behind the shore. Large boulders are in the foreground.

Hiking along the east bluff trail at Devil’s Lake State Park yesterday, I saw the developing color from up high and in the middle of the forest. A beautiful place to spend an afternoon on such a beautiful day.

Waiting for the next train

Sandhill crane standing next to railroad tracks.

When I saw these sandhill cranes, I imagined them patiently waiting to hop on the next train that comes along, and taking a nice ride through the countryside together.

Brick building with a domed observatory under a mostly blue sky.

I’ve never been inside the U.W. Washburn Observatory. I should go to one of their public observation sessions, when they start up again (currently closed due to mechanical issues).

The National & The War On Drugs

September 27, 2024Concerts, MusicJonathan

Purple and blue lights stream from a stage where a band is performing at night. Video screens on either side of the stage show the lead singer. A 12 story apartment building can be seen in the background.

I’ve been fortunate to see some great concerts this summer. Last night I caught the dual headlining show featuring The National and The War On Drugs, which was held at Breese Stevens Field. I’ve been very fond of these two groups for quite a while now, and seeing them both live for the first time did not disappoint.
