Nothing like a peaceful early morning walk in the forest.

My favorite view in all of Wisconsin
I’ve visited the Black Lagoon along the Star Lake Nature Trail (in northern Wisconsin) many times before. Yet whenever I am in the area, I am always drawn back there to see it again.
When I take the boardwalk path over the bog, and the scene reveals itself, I’m almost overwhelmed by the serene beauty. That feeling hits me every time I visit, even though I know what to expect.
I can’t wait to see it again.
Need some green
I took a walk in the woods today. With everything still so bare and brown, it could very well be November instead of April. We need some green.
Making tracks
A good snow base, calm winds, and sunny skies, made for perfect snowshoeing weather this weekend. Yesterday I spent some time hiking around McCarthy County Park.
Making fresh tracks
Last winter there wasn’t enough snow in Madison for me to use my snowshoes. It’s good to be out there making fresh tracks again.
Cold walk in the woods
Even during the cold of winter, a walk in the woods does wonders for my soul.

Peak colors at Picnic Point
I went hiking along Picnic Point this afternoon.
The foliage there seemed to be at peak autumn color.

Mushrooms
When hiking, don’t forget to look down. There’s beauty and wonder on the forest floor as well.
