Lake Wingra almost frozen over.

As high as you can get inside the Capitol dome.
Angles and light
The other day I went to the Capitol with the intention of photographing the Christmas tree. I found myself wandering the building and marveling at the wonderful architecture (like the light and angles of this stairway).

Cowabunga!
I like to think these ducks were just having fun on the lake here, getting tossed around by wave after wave.

Meanwhile, along the shore of Lake Mendota, below normal temperatures and a brutal wind brought a sure sign of winter’s impending arrival.

Migrating loon
Spotted a common loon the other day (Lake Monona is a migration rest stop for them). First time capturing one of those wearing their winter coat! Their plumage is more drab grey/brown this time of year for better camouflage along the coast and waters of the south.
