And dogs soothe my soul.

Still hunting mushrooms, too!

Been almost a year since I last posted. Lots has happened, but I'm still hiking!

Lying is like breathing for those two.

Guess they shoulda thought twice about voting for him.

I returned to Lapham Peak State Park yesterday with my buddy Mark. Beautiful day for a walk.

This is totally fucked up.

Gorgeous! Cold, but gorgeous!

I was shooting directly into the sun, so I wasn't sure how this pic would turn out. It's a small glacial pond created during the last ice age. Completely frozen over even though it was 40 degrees.

A pair of sentinels stand watch over the trail.

Winter has its own color palette...

This is Nemahbin Spring. It supplied water to Delafield from the late 19th century into the 20th century.

The sunlight really lit up these dead trees...

Suzette and I hit the trail yesterday for some MUCH needed exercise and vitamin D! This is the Lapham Peak section of the Ice Age Trail.

Yes, absolutely!

New (to me) Mission-style lamp and drum table with inlaid leather! Found the table at Habitat for Humanity Re-Store for $15! What a find!

My newest baby! This is a 1915 Ingraham mantel clock in working condition. I need to tweak the chimes a bit, but otherwise it works quite well! I hope I look this good if I make it to 109 years!

Hard at work off Milwaukee on a cold, overcast Thanksgiving morning.

See the reply to me. I was in error. Witch's Butter is a jelly fungus, not a slime mold.

Yes, you are correct! My mistake.

Looks like a slime mold. We have one here in Wisconsin that's called Witches Butter.

Gorgeous!

Wall hanging light/lamp from the incredibly talented artist, Alex Evans. I just LOVE it! I'm going to commission another piece from her.

Spectacular views!

Turkeytails!

Huge oyster mushroom! It was done, so I didn't harvest it.

You can really see the lay of the land now that most of the leaves are down. This is a portion of the Milwaukee River segment of the Ice Age Trail.

Here's where I go to decompress...

Found ya!
