A new coat of snow covered the ground during the night temporarily covering most of the critter tracks.

Some winter sunsets can be pretty but they are also often very cold and the camera battery doesn’t last long in the colder temperatures (and sometimes the photographer doesn’t stay outside in the cold either).

Autumn officially started last evening at 9:29 pm for my area but it was too dark then to see if the day was the same length as night, but the sun is out shining on the first full day of autumn highlighting the autumn leaves turning color early. And it is definitely fall as some of the leaves have fallen already. Autumn, by the calendar, is supposed to go until December 21 when winter begins, but winter will arrive much sooner than that here so it is a rip off that autumn always draws the short stick! So I guess I better enjoy the autumn colors since they won’t last long.

There will be many people heading to the lakes and campgrounds for the last big end of summer vacation for the Labor Day holiday. And since the lakes will be crowded, I guess I will have to have my campfire by my little pond instead.

With more rain predicted the next few days, which will most likely set the record for the wettest June on record, I think a larger rock will be needed to keep the post from floating out of the ground.

The last of the oaks are finally leafing out and it finally looks like summer, although not all the trees survived the long, harsh winter and some big and young trees will not leaf out again.
But the sun is out and it is a nice summer day for a change so I just might have to get my hammock out under the trees.
Trees Green Again

Anyone living in Wisconsin knows snow is a big part of life, but I do enjoy spring when things are blooming and the landscape turns green again. I took a photo of this barn in the winter and while the red provided a nice contrast against the white snow, I do prefer the red and green instead (even with some yellow from weeds) and some pinks too.

The trees are finally leafing out again but when the leaves first emerge, they almost have a fall feel with colorful shades of yellows, reds, browns and greens.

I don’t have faith anymore. People keep telling me spring is coming but it sure doesn’t look like spring to me – not when it keeps snowing!
The Winter That Won’t End

When I looked out the windows this morning, it didn’t look like the last day of winter, but more like the first day of winter. Old man winter is not letting go this year – not with five new inches of snow.
End of Winter?
