Bicycle Ride

The woods are too slushy with melting snow to venture into, so I decided to take a little spin on the bicycle and see what the local farms might offer for photos. This is the first time I’ve had the bike out since fall, and it feels great!

The first barnyard animal I happen upon is this googly eyed goat. He looks like a giant hairball with handlebar horns and Rodney Dangerfield eyes. He’s the Devil, I’m sure.

Further up the road, I was sure surprised to find a herd of buffalo. I’ve driven past here before, but I assumed those were cattle out in the field, and never took a closer look.


Finally, I found four flags fleeing across a farmer’s field. (Brought to you by the letter F)

Winter Walk

I’m out for a walk in the woods this morning. The weather has improved, and it’s bringing some of the wildlife out of hiding. I can’t help but notice how curious they are of me.

I would love to regale these denizens of the wilds with exciting tales of my adventures in the city beyond the trees.

However, I’d have to be a raving lunatic to be running around in the woods telling my tall tales to the animals.


Besides, they don’t believe me.

Good Morning 12/30/21

Good morning from Williams, MN, near Lake of the Woods! I’ve shoveled out our never-ending driveway three times in as many days. It’s 20 degrees below zero right now, and we’re expecting 30 below by tomorrow night. This place is not for the faint of heart!

On the other hand, the nature and wildlife photography opportunities here are unrivaled. There are so many deer, that almost every vehicle around here has a headlight out. And all of that roadkill brings out eagles, hawks, magpies, wolves, fox, and of course, the ubiquitous crows. Have a warm day!!
