Touching history

September 3, 2023TreesJonathan

Looking up from the base of a very large tree. A hand is resting on the bark, which is covered with deep, rough ridges and fissures.

I love the old cottonwood trees along the Edgewood Park & Pleasure drive. This giant has to have been around for at least 100 years.

The World of Dr. Evermor

August 30, 2023Art & CultureJonathan

Large sculpture made of scrap metal pieces. A tall tower with an egg shaped cage is in the center. Two other tall structures are next to the tower, surrounded by many other large and small pieces.

I’ve been meaning to visit Dr. Evermor’s Sculptpure Park for years. Finally did that last weekend. His work is so fascinating! I took a ton of photos. More to come…

Railroad tracks

August 25, 2023Black & White, RailroadsJonathan

Railroad tracks leading off into the distance and up a short hill. Trees line the edges of the railroad under a partly cloudy sky.

Every time I cross these tracks while biking the Capital City State Trail, I’m compelled to stop and take a photo. Every single time.

Nothing like watching the sun go down on a beautiful summer evening.

White and blue lotus flower with an orange center blossoming just above the pond's surface. The flower's reflection is seen in the still waters of the pond. The flower and nearby lily pads are covered in water drops.

Just after a recent rainstorm at Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
