Last weekend, while hiking at Lake Kegonsa State Park, I discovered this golden soybean field bordering the park.

“Secret” places
I spent last week camping in Wisconsin’s Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest. One of my favorite things about that area, are all the secluded, “secret”, places that are just a short distance off of bike trails, hiking trails, and roads.
If you get off of your bike while riding on the trail near Crystal Lake, you’ll discover this above scene just a few dozen yards away (along a short hiking trail). Yet hardly anyone stops to take in its beauty.
Atop the bluffs of Wyalusing
Last week I was camping at Wisconsin’s Wyalusing State Park, which has spectacular views along the bluffs.

Beauty in the gray
I like to call this time of the year the season of darkness. The hours of daylight are getting shorter and shorter. Everything is gray and brown, and there isn’t any snow on the ground to brighten things up. It’s all a bit depressing. But maybe I need to look at it in a different way. Take away the color, even from a gorgeous sunset, and there is beauty to be seen in the gray.
I should play around with black and white photography more.

Peak colors at Governor Dodge
I took a day trip to Governor Dodge State Park the other day, where the autumn colors seemed to be at their peak.
Dancing prairie grass
On a recent hike at Cherokee Marsh, I came across a view that rivals traditional autumn color scenes.
The prairie grass, back lit by the sun, and moving from the afternoon’s strong breeze, seemed to be dancing in the spot light. Made me wish I had a video camera.
Tall grass
When you walk parts of the Edgewood boardwalk this time of year, it’s almost as if you’re walking through a trench. Your only unobstructed view is up.
