Madison got the first measurable snow of the season last night (about 5 inches in my neighborhood). Welcome to winter.

Colors popping
Autumn has definitely arrived in Madison.
Steamy sunset hike
After laying low in the house all day yesterday (avoiding the hot and humid weather), I was itching to do something outside by the time the sun started to go down. So I headed out for a hike.
You call that a mountain?
Funny how something can be called a “mountain” when it really isn’t. Trempealeau Mountain in Wisconsin’s Perrot State Park.
Black River bridge
This is my favorite spot on the Great River State Trail. The trail (which is built on a former railroad bed) runs right next to Perrot State Park, where I was camping last week.
Gibraltar panorama
Another shot from Gibraltar Rock.
Atop Gibraltar Rock
On Memorial Day I went hiking at Gibraltar Rock, a state natural area connected to Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail. It was my first time there — the views are amazing.
Redbud bridge
Tangents
Crossing the bay
Former Milwaukee Road tracks cross a frozen Monona Bay in Madison.
There something about railroad tracks heading off into the distance that make me want to hop on a train and see where they lead. Pity there aren’t any passenger trains around here.
