I Brake for the Leaves of Autumn!
Well, I’d like to, though I admit it’s not always possible! A major road near my house is lined with gold – gold! – the leaves on the trees form a canopy above and cast a glow below. How often I wished I could… Continue Reading “I Brake for the Leaves of Autumn!”
A Walk in the Woods at Nolte State Park
We took a walk through the woods last week, at Nolte State Park, not for the first time nor the last – it’s one of our favorite local hikes. An easy, mostly level, trail around Deep Lake, it’s only a mile and a quarter… Continue Reading “A Walk in the Woods at Nolte State Park”
Golden Hour, It’s the Light!
Photography is all about the light, and the best light is arguably during the golden hour, when the sun is low on the horizon just after sunrise, and just before sunset. So for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge I went through my archives and… Continue Reading “Golden Hour, It’s the Light!”

Trees at the Golden Hour
“Listen to the trees talking in their sleep,’ she whispered, as he lifted her to the ground. ‘What nice dreams they must have!” _ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables I don’t doubt that trees dream at night, but I like to catch them… Continue Reading “Trees at the Golden Hour”
My first Square Tree
It’s an ordinary tree perhaps – if any tree can be called ordinary – but it was also striking against a clear blue sky and fit nicely into a square. “For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the… Continue Reading “My first Square Tree”
Up in a Redwood Tree
Earlier this month on a very rainy day we went to Lincoln Park for a walk. We took the trail up to the top of the bluff and found shelter in a grove of Redwood trees. So did this little fella. Shared with Becky’s… Continue Reading “Up in a Redwood Tree”
