Photographs from a Bloy in Wisconsin
Back in June, a severe storm knocked down many trees in Madison. Watching the sun go down In Tenney Park the other night, I was reminded that I still miss a casualty of that storm — the tree that arched over the water in this very spot, which made for some nice photo opportunities. Previously:
Taking the time to watch a beautiful sunset evolve is nourishment for your soul — especially when you’re on vacation. Trout Lake, near Boulder Junction. July 25, 2022.
