Mimicking clouds
It seemed to me the clouds here were doing their best impression of the fallen tree’s root structure.
Elroy-Sparta State Trail
This week I continued my summer tour of Wisconsin recreational trails. I’ve been meaning to ride the Elroy-Sparta State Trail for a long time. Opened in 1967, it’s considered this country’s first trail to be built on an abandoned railbed.
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.
The Bearskin State Trail
The best thing I did while in northern Wisconsin last week, was spend the good part of a day biking the Bearskin State Trail.
Glacial Drumlin State Trail
Snowy sunburst
A boardwalk transformed
I spent my lunch break yesterday marveling at how Thursday’s blizzard transformed the boardwalk behind Edgewood College.
The bike trails of Peninsula State Park
Last week I was camping at Peninsula State Park. I just love the network of bike trails there.
Using the trails (and bike lanes along the road) you can take in almost every terrain the park has to offer.
Hillside full of goldenrod
While I love the deep yellow color of all this goldenrod in one place, I can’t help but think of my allergy laden sinuses and wonder how long it will be until the first frost.
Update: Goldenrod is not the cause of seasonal allergies this time of year! Details in my post from September 22, 2022.
