The Moon and Monona Terrace

Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace in Madison is so wonderfully photogenic. The cold sunset made the colors so vibrant.  My wife waited in the car as I rushed around on a full moon eve.

November Fern

This fern in Middleton was taking advantage of late autumn sunshine. Although low to the ground, it seemed it was reaching to the heights of heaven. 

Thursday

Finally South

A third of January 2012 passed and the geese finally began to fly south in earnest.  Taken at Graber Pond park in Middleton, Wisconsin. In the week that followed, the cold and snow we are accustomed to in Wisconsin arrived. It will be a short winter nonetheless. - JBP

Love Floats in the Capitol Dome

A single heart balloon left over from spreading the love. Daily protesters of Wisconsin Government decisions in 2011 brought heart balloons to share their good intent.  One stayed for these photos.  - JBP
