Fog Rolling In…

Last week a snow storm, this week is fog. Creeping past tree and trail… Rising in the most amazing places… … as the warmer weather moves in a few weeks early in Wisconsin!

Nature in Wisconsin

Faithful Winter Birds Hopeful Buds Lingering Winter… This is what it’s like at my home in March’s Wisconsin winter Joining… Nature Notes, ramblingwoods.com

Goose Homecoming

As March forewarns and patches of bare grass wink, they come on solo flights with long Hollywood like necks. Journey frigid wind currents make round eyes blink; are these last of stragglers on empty trek? I think not, they are mighty explorers; adventurers at heart battling the last of ice. Fore-runners of mild spring breeze, [...]

Winter Thoughts

Spell Check did not like this piece… he,he,he Reeds rocking restfully in mid-winter’s Boreas; shhhush… shhhush… shhhush… Frozen pond stiff as starched white shirt; thuggg… thuggg… thuggg… Brittle marsh gasses woefully whistling in wind; whooo… whooo… whooo… Branched birds busy in skeleton trees; chick-a-dee-dee-dee… chick-a-dee-dee-dee… Alone in winter wood wondering why frigid air is left [...]

Preparation Day

Indian Summer

Indian Summer   Dusk settles as dust across earthen land; the meadow’s chilled like a good glass of wine. A warmth seeps slowing from woodland; stretched before me like a downed comforter.   Forest floor is littered with bullion: saffron leaves stacked like cards, mustard needles tumble like pick-up-sticks, and padding under foot… my golden, [...]

Fall Finale

All from one little old tree… which has stood the test of time as seasons unfold golden strands with chocolate bands dangling as pigtails toward the ground formally kisses skies of blue tresses shaken loose and let down a full crown of glory to be found. Next week the rain and wind will toss these [...]
