As the temperature and humidity climbed today, nature walks were more comfortable early in the morning or late evening, to view the wildflowers blooming in the fields.

The sun was out bright today, reflecting off the new coating of snow but as most typical clear January days, it was a cold one so not as pleasant hiking day. A July hike through a field of summer wildflowers sounds like a better option to me.

A sunny July day hike and a picnic under the shade a of big oak tree would be more desirable compared to watching the huge snowflakes which are falling right now, a heavy blanket of white snowflakes.

Many may be trying to get some outdoor activities done, like a nature hike, today and tomorrow before the excessive heat rolls in for the rest of the week. A place to enjoy seven miles of hiking trails, along with native flowers in the prairie restoration areas and a variety of crops, is at the Pope Farm Conservancy, just west of Madison, Wisconsin. A stone wall made with rocks left by the glacier, built in the 1840s and 1850s, line one of the trails for a distance as it rises to the top of a recessional moraine, which provides a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
