Snow at the Falls

I took a trek out to Big Falls county park to see what I could see.  I was amazed at how much ice there was out there already...definitely no more canoeing this year.


 It was a beautiful day for a hike...notice the river below the falls is completely frozen over.


A mini water fall. 


A clump of grass clinging to a rock face covered in frosty spray. 


The Eau Claire fork of the falls. 


Leading up to the falls...all is calm. 


 Above the falls, notice all the floating ice...gotta be some chilly water.


The border between the frozen section and the liquid.

I wonder if birds get cold sitting on snowy branches.


The sun was casting some mighty shadows.

new Life.

I've been rather absent from the blog scene for a bit now...a fact that i'm sure has made it to the New York Times by now.  Many of my avid blog readers have made pilgrimages to my humble Wisconsin home to lay tributes on the stoop, perhaps in the hopes of a renewed life in "the life of tim".  Fear Not!  Your cry's have been heard and the masses shall be appeased...or something of that sort.


So to start things off I figured I would post the pictures I took from Halloween.



Collin joined Brian and I carving up some pumpkins to add that touch of Halloween to our pumpkin-less porch.
