Art on a frozen lake
This year, Timothy Browning’s annual Lake Monona art installation included the bones of a hodag-asaurus. Though when I went to see it, the hodag’s upper skull was missing.

First bitter cold spell of the season also brought a nice sunset. Lake Monona freezing over quickly now.

I biked over to Tenney Park to watch the sun set last night. When I got there, I found six large rocks (about a foot and a half tall), perfectly balanced along the rocky edge of the pier.

Streaks of color at dusk
Last week I was camping in northern Wisconsin. Of the six days I was there, the persistent clouds allowed me to see only one sunset. That evening on Trout Lake, about 20 minutes after the sun drifted below the horizon, gorgeous streaks of color appeared.

The past few days, we’ve had long-overdue seasonal temperatures in Madison. As I watched the bright sky turn to twilight along Lake Monona yesterday, I wondered… is the sun setting on this long winter?
