Fun Monday Paths

posted Monday, 28 April 2008

This week’s Fun Monday assignment is to share our favorite path/walk. Well, probably my favorite area to walk near home would be Iverson Park. You’ve seen the park before if you’ve seen the photos we did of my kids last fall.

These photos were taken Dec 31st, 2006. It looks quite different than when we shot the kids’ photos, doesn’t it?

foot bridge

This bridge is also in Iverson Park and if you cross it, you can follow some animal trails and find Skunk Cabbage:

And maybe my owl friend.

(These were taken last year with my point and shoot)

But Wisconsin is full of great trails just about anywhere you go.

And even though it decided to spit snow (no accumulation thankfully) on us all day on Saturday, I took a few more photos for you with my new 15mm fisheye lens. It was in the low 30s all day, brrr!

And I took one last one Sunday, although I had the macro lens on. We had a semi-sunshiny day in the 50s.

Thanks for the fun assignment, Angela! Hope I didn’t overload you on too many pictures.

Great photos. I particularly like the owl one and the one with the sun shining through the trees. And the skunk cabbage is funky - I've never heard of that before...

Beautiful country - Wisconsin! My brother lived in Waukesha for awhile, but I never made it to visit him. Your park is gorgeous - as are your pics! Have a great Monday, Lisa!!

I agree with Alison; Wisconsin looks like a beautiful place to live except for the snow (and the cold that goes with it)! I love all of the trees.

This is breathtakingly beautiful!!! I can smell 'freshness'.....instead of our city ---------there is no place like THIS in our neck of the woods. Wow.

My Fun Monday is a walk on the beaches. With just a few photos of the views! Hope you can stop by. And may your day be filled with sunshine!

Oh, Lisa...those are BEAUTIFUL! If I ever travel to Wisconsin, it will be due to your photographs.

Lisa, there is no such thing as too many pictures when it comes to your pictures!! They are all so lovely. I love the owl too, mayb we all seem to love that one so much because isn't it a little difficult or rare to capture one on film? Compared to Cardinals, Robins, or Blue Jays...know what I mean? Anyway these are all fantastic. The ones with the fisheye lens were tripy! ;) That wooden bridge...you've shown that in the summer too haven't you? I want to come walk there!!

What a wonderful post! How delightful to see the seasons in the same area … the chill of snowy conditions followed by the gorgeous colors … (and the OWL you spotted too)! Thanks for sharing … I enjoyed each and every picture. Mine is up at Small Reflections … Molly and I at Dog Beach ;--)

Hugs and blessings,

Great post and I love the photos. I had to laugh at Alison's comment, about moving to WS. No way, Jose. It's beautiful and a great place for a Californian to Visit, but you have snow, lots of snow. Beautiful snow, I'm glad you have it, not me.

There are a lot of good trails if you know where to find them. I guess I wasn't thinking anything fun today. Thanks.

Stunning photos! You certainly live in gorgeous country! Something I am not used to seeing is green. Everything here in AZ is brown this time of year. The one photo that really caught my attention was the Skunk Cabbage. At first I thought it was a statue of some kind. Thanks for walking with me.

Lisa, I personally don't think there can ever be such a thing as "too many pictures" when you're the one holding the camera. Once again, these were beautiful. I love the owl...what an amazing shot, it's like it was looking right at you. Beautiful.

But uh...what's a skunk cabbage?

Wow! What a gorgeous walk. I love snow pictures but that's probably because we don't have snow LOL I really like the tunnel pic - makes me want to go in and take a look around.

Lisa, I'm late joining your walk but knew it would be worth it to keep trying to get here! I couldn't even come close to picking a favorite but way up there would be the wooden bridge.
