Grey squirrels

November 21, 2021MammalsJonathan

Side view of a grey squirrel on a tree branch.

I came across several grey squirrels while out on a hike. Some seemed just as interested in me as I was in them.

A grey sky with streaky clouds and with a small streaks of yellow near the horizon. In the distant foreground are trees in silhouette.

Art from Mother Nature

November 12, 2021Autumn, Still LifeJonathan

A brown oak leaf centered on top of a large yellow basswood leaf, laying on the ground among other oak leaves.

I came across this perfectly framed piece of seasonal art while on a hike. Honest! I did not arrange it at all.

Drum circle sunset

November 8, 2021Music, SkyJonathan

People drumming and dancing in a park at dusk. The sky above has streaky clouds colored yellow, orange and red, and illuminated the park and people with those colors.

Some of you know that I’ve been a part of the Madison Area Drum Circle Group since last spring. It’s been wonderful playing percussion again, and being a part of this welcoming, diverse, and energizing group. Toward the end of yesterday’s session, the sky complimented our music with some amazing colors and light.

Autumnal ground cover

A large amount of multi-colored maple leaves covering the ground.

Surrounded by yellow

November 3, 2021Autumn, Forests, TreesJonathan

A forest of yellow and orange maple trees, backlit by the sun.

Being surrounded by a maple forest that’s glowing yellow can be almost magical.

Autumn on Gibraltar Rock

October 31, 2021Autumn, Geology, LandscapeJonathan

A cedar tree grows on top of a rocky bluff. Below the bluff is a panoramic view of the countryside with trees in autumn colors.

Sometimes it’s good to widen your perspective and get a broader view of the world. I did that today by hiking to the top of Wisconsin’s Gibraltar Rock.

Autumnal sunshine

October 27, 2021Autumn, Sky, TreesJonathan

A large maple tree branch filled with yellow leaves. They are backlit by the sun, which is shining in the corner of the photo.

Nothing feels better on a cool and crisp fall day.

Autumn along Picnic Point

October 24, 2021Autumn, TreesJonathan

A row of red, yellow and green trees along side a walking path leading into the distance.

I spent some much needed nature time yesterday hiking Picnic Point and the UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve. A beautiful autumn day.

Hoping for the best

October 22, 2021Autumn, Life, ThoughtsJonathan

Close up of a milkweed seed pod with several dozen fluffy seeds coming out of the end.

Like the milkweed plant creating its seeds, we can spend a lot of energy molding and creating our future plans. Eventually though, we need to sit back, let the wind carry them where it will, and hope for the best.
