Hoarfrost
I woke up this morning to find hoarfrost beautifully covering all the plant life in the neighborhood.
After a few cups of coffee, I grabbed my camera and headed over to Olbrich Park.
An open letter to Mother Nature
Dear Mother Nature,
Thank you for all the snow over the past several weeks. It really does makes everything look beautiful. Unfortunately, I am beginning to run out of places to put it when I shovel my driveway.
Would you mind holding off on the snow for a while, say maybe until some of it melts? That would be great. Thanks.
Your friend,
Jonathan

Along the boardwalk
Last Sunday I went for a hike at Cherokee Marsh. When I got to the section of trail that has a boardwalk, I couldn’t help but focus on the old, weathered boards.

Hiking through Copper Falls
I also visited Copper Falls State Park while vacationing in Northern Wisconsin earlier this month.
The most scenic views of the park are along the Doughboys’ Nature Trail. Along that thick, wooded trail, you get great views of the deep gorges and park’s largest waterfalls.
Lake of the Falls
While camping last week, I took a couple of day trips to see nearby sights. One was to Lake of the Falls County Park in Iron County.
Back in the great outdoors
Last week I was camping in the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest, one of my favorite places to experience the outdoors.
Birding at Horicon Marsh
Last weekend my father and I visited Horicon Marsh and National Wildlife Refuge where we went on an early evening, two-hour boat tour.
A few times we were fortunate to get some great views of birds close up, like this sandhill crane.
