Solstice sunset 2015
From the shore of Lake Mendota.
Trempealeau sunset
Just returned from a camping vacation at Perrot State Park. The park overlooks Trempealeau Mountain along the Mississippi River. This was the sunset on my first night there.

Season of darkness begins
While I do love the change of seasons in Wisconsin, the loss of daylight this time of the year is aspect of the change I dislike the most. I can take the cold, I actually like the snow, but the extended hours of darkness are the worst. The sun goes down about 4:30pm these days — too early for me.
Summer solstice 2013
I had planned on documenting the sunset tonight. The clouds however, had a plan of their own.
Happy solstice everyone!
Angry bird
While hiking at Cherokee Marsh, I came across a red-winged blackbird who was looking after the fledglings in his nest nearby. He was NOT happy I was around. Those birds have no fear, and will attack ANYTHING that threatens their nest.
I tried to capture him in flight as he kept dive bombing, while at the same time protecting my head from his attacks. Above is a composite of three of those photos.

The bones of trees
I love being able to see the structure of bare trees in the winter time. It’s almost like seeing an x-ray of their bones.
