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..”

A few sights through the soup…
It was a very foggy morning in Estabrook Park, but temps were all the way up into the low 60s at dawn, the breeze was light, and I believe all the drops came from fog water accumulating on tree leaves instead of from the clouds, so it wasn’t the worst morning for checking on theContinue reading “A few sights through the soup…”
I did! I did taw a puddy tat!
My sister and I did hike the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail again this morning, and the weather was pretty nice, if a bit cloudy, but we didn’t see anything remarkable, and I barely took a picture. Instead, the big excitement came yesterday evening when she spotted this gorgeous creature slinking along the edge of myContinue reading “I did! I did taw a puddy tat!”
Gotta see ’em while they’re here…
The weather was even nicer today in Estabrook Park than it was yesterday. The sky was just as clear, but the air was a bit warmer, and the breeze was even lighter. Sweet! The young gosling on the river was able to pin its mom down for a group photo this time, but Dad stillContinue reading “Gotta see ’em while they’re here…”
It finally feels like summer might be right around the corner…
What a difference 24 hours can make. Yesterday morning, I wore a poofy coat for warmth, and I was glad I did. This morning, I wore only a windbreaker over a thin fleece, and I had to strip it off before I got home. The critters in Estabrook Park really seemed to respond to theContinue reading “It finally feels like summer might be right around the corner…”
January eases out the door…
The clouds over Estabrook Park this morning were thick and a little leaky, but the winds were pretty light, and the temps were mild for January, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the critters. The gray catbird, who is still considered rare here for this time of year, kicked things off withContinue reading “January eases out the door…”
A morning full of surprises…
Wow, what a difference a day makes! Sure, it’s still cold out there, but the wind has backed off a lot, we’ve got a nice, new layer of fluffy white snow, and the sun was out in all its glory. It was a perfect morning for taking pictures in Estabrook Park, and some of theContinue reading “A morning full of surprises…”
A pretty day, despite the cold…
Ooh, Baby, it sure was cold out this morning! At 8 am, my phone claimed it was 0°F in Milwaukee, and I believe it. It also claimed the wind speeds were in the teens, which put the windchill in the negative teens, but I am happy to report that it sure didn’t feel that badContinue reading “A pretty day, despite the cold…”
A pretty day after the storm…
It was colder than yesterday in Estabrook Park this morning, with temps in the mid-teens, but the breeze was much lighter, and the clouds were high, thin, and sparce, so the sun was able to take the edge off a bit. Plus, it wasn’t snowing. The hermit thrush was back, but about 150 yards southContinue reading “A pretty day after the storm…”
