It was a very nice morning in Estabrook Park. Temps were seasonably cool, the winds were light, and the sky was nearly clear. But before we get to the critters, and before I forget, let me make a couple of quick announcements. First, in case you’ve just joined us or skipped over the recent imageContinue reading “An infrequency, and oddity, and a rarity…”

A bit of a rebound…
The temps have warmed back up to only seasonably cool, and the sky was crystal clear again, but the wind was still blowing, so the weather in Estabrook Park this morning was a mixed bag. After yesterday’s no-hitter, I didn’t have high hopes, but the critters put on a pretty nice mid-November show. The firstContinue reading “A bit of a rebound…”
Now that’s a cold snap!
Brrrr! It was a tad brisk this morning in Estabrook Park. Happily, the forecast lake effect snow stayed south of us, the wind didn’t feel nearly as strong as I feared, and the sky was crystal clear. It was cold enough, for the first time this season, to freeze small puddles solid and form iceContinue reading “Now that’s a cold snap!”
A little HTML before the snow flies…
Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to the image handling test I sent out earlier today. It appears that WordPress’s “custom HTML” block does solve most of the problems that folks were having with images, so I’m gonna try using only that today and see what I inadvertently break next. As forecast,Continue reading “A little HTML before the snow flies…”
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…”
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”
