My sister didn’t have to work today, and she was willing to join me this morning, so we headed first to the Broad Brook Reservoir, were we’ve seen great sights before. The sky was clear, the air was still, and the temps were in the 30s, so the steam fog coming off the surface wasContinue reading ““Anita! What them boys up to…””

A fine “welcome back” to the Nutmeg State…
Anne and I arrived safely in Connecticut last evening, but I didn’t have a chance to go out looking for wildlife until after lunch today. I didn’t expect to see much that late in the day, so I was quite pleasantly surprised when the critters put on a nice mid-day show. Here’s a trio ofContinue reading “A fine “welcome back” to the Nutmeg State…”
Fish is on the menu…
Welp, it’s Thursday, boys and girls, and you know what that means. Yup, it’s time again for Anne to take me on another fabulous adventure, so I won’t make it to Estabrook Park this morning. Instead, let me show you a few pictures from the last couple of days that didn’t make the first cut.Continue reading “Fish is on the menu…”
Autumn really starts to settle in…
It was cold, windy, cloudy, and even sprinkley this morning in Estabrook Park, so a classic autumn day in southeast Wisconsin. There were still a few sights to see, despite the weather, but I didn’t see a picture I could take until I was beside the river at the north end. That’s when the doeContinue reading “Autumn really starts to settle in…”
The internet is back, and so is the sun…
It was a little warmer and a little breezier this morning than yesterday in Estabrook, so there was no frost on the grass this time. The sky was just as clear, though, so it made for some pretty pictures, and the issue that kept websites from working yesterday appears to have been resolved, so IContinue reading “The internet is back, and so is the sun…”
First Frost!
Sorry this is so late, but there was an issue with certain websites on the internet today, which you may have heard about, that prevented me from uploading any pictures earlier today. Anyway, it was a very nice, if chilly morning, in Estabrook Park for our weekly wildlife walk. The temperature was 40°F at sunrise,Continue reading “First Frost!”
It’s finally starting to feel like fall…
Since it was raining pretty good when the sun came up this morning, and the big green blob on the radar was forecast to take its sweet time drifting out of the area, I took the morning off to run some errands. At around 10:30, I noticed that it was starting to look dry-ish outside,Continue reading “It’s finally starting to feel like fall…”
October continues to surprise..
I could hear it raining this morning as I waited for the sun to rise, but the clouds dried up by the time it was light enough for me to venture out. Plus, the winds were light, and the air was probably warmer than seasonal, so it was a great morning for all the plannedContinue reading “October continues to surprise..”
Another first of the season, and perhaps a last…
It was cloudy and windy this morning in Estabrook, but at least temps were mild for the season, and it wasn’t raining. These conditions made it a little tricky to find photogenic subjects, but the park still delivered anyway. I found this little cutie, our first eastern bluebird of the month, just as I wasContinue reading “Another first of the season, and perhaps a last…”
A fine showing for the middle of autumn
The rain was taking a break this morning, the temps were mild for October, the breeze was light, the sun was duking it out with the clouds, and it wasn’t clear who was going to win, at least for a while, so it was a very nice time to go looking for wildlife in Estabrook.Continue reading “A fine showing for the middle of autumn”
