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.

No lifeguard on duty

It feels like it’s going to be a long time until the lifeguards make an appearance in Madison. While I was driving on the beltline this afternoon, I saw a bald eagle flying over the Yahara River. A sign of the continuing long winter, rather than the sign of spring I’d prefer to see.
