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

Finally, some snow

December 29, 2023Landscape, Snow & Ice, WinterJonathan

An area of freshly fallen snow in front of a covered footbridge that crosses a pond. Prairie grass and trees line the shore of the pond.

A little snow yesterday made it actually look like winter! Sadly, the weather forecast sounds like the snow will soon be a just a memory. Burke Park in Madison.

Winter solstice bonfire

December 22, 2023Life, SkyJonathan

A large bonfire reaches into a dark, cloudy sky. A crowd of people surrounds the fire.

Last night’s celebration at Madison’s Olbrich Park. There was much drumming and dancing. Happy Solstice!

American robin

December 12, 2023Birds, WinterJonathan

Robin perched on a bare tree branch. Its body has more of a round shape from the feathers being puffed out.

When the weather turns cold (and windy!) you need to puff yourself up to keep warm.

Touching the sky

December 10, 2023Close Up, Prairie, Quotes, SkyJonathan

The top of a tall strand of prairie grass, with seeds on the end, leaning over.  A blue sky with some soft puffy clouds is seen in the background.

“To touch the sky, you just have to get that little bit closer.”
