Red maple

September 26, 2023Autumn, Bicycling, TreesJonathan

Maple tree fully covered in red leaves next to a bicycle trail. A few leaves have already fallen on the grass below.

Saw my first fully red maple tree of the year, while biking the other day. So long summer.

The street facing front of a train depot with a bicyclist riding on the sidewalk.

Pinks and blues

Streaky pink clouds and darker blue sky are seen above and reflected in the calm waters of a lake. Small dark clouds are just over the horizon on one side.

Yesterday evening along Lake Monona.

Imperfection’s worth

September 10, 2023Flowers, Insects, Nature, ThoughtsJonathan

Monarch butterfly feeding on a coneflower. The petals of the flower have brown spots, and are starting to shrivel up.

Scenes from a night ride

September 7, 2023Bicycling, Cityscape, Insects, NightJonathan

A lamppost lights up a paved bike path, over a former railroad bridge. The path continues into the distance.

Scrap metal sculpture of an egg shaped cage in the middle with two 'thruster arms' emanating from the cage toward the ground.  At the bottom is a line up of a number of circular metal rings.

The Forevertron is the massive sculpture from Dr. Evermor that is the centerpiece of the park. According to the artist, he designed the Forevertron to launch himself, “into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam.”
