Guest photo: Night glow

Nighttime photo of an ash tree with its branches covered in snow. Behind the tree is a street light which makes the snow covered tree stand out from the darkness with an orange glow.

Photo by my brother, Steven Bloy. After he finished shoveling snow last Tuesday night, he noticed this snow covered tree, glowing from the nearby streetlight. Beautiful!

Snow pile looking down one side of a driveway. Trees and a cloudy sky are in the background.

Closeup of fresh snow on pine tree branches. Snow covered trees and blue sky are in the background.

Yesterday, Madison had a pause between two major winter storms. I was able to steal a few moments outside to document the blue skies and sunshine. Sure was pretty out there.

Barred owl

Barred owl perched on a large pine tree, looking at the camera.

Seeing an owl is always a special encounter for me. I came across this barred owl while hiking the U.W. Aboretum.

Trees are sanctuaries

December 31, 2023Quotes, TreesJonathan

Two large, bare cottonwood trees standing tall in a forest. A blue sky is above with a hint of a sunset color on the horizon.

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.”
   – Hermann Hesse
