Silvanus' Journal
Happy Holidays! to all my friends on Caedes. I wish you all the best in the coming year. And thank you for sharing your marvelous work and artistic vision. I'm looking forward to many more, "Wow! Look at that!" moments in 2012. - Steve
Taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on a cold, clear Saturday morning. No one was around this early, except the birds. The only sounds were the leaves falling from the trees and the wee critters going about their business.
One for the contest.
A sure sign of autumn.
A chill October morning on the trail to Hell's Gate rapids on the Kettle River in Northern Minnesota.
Springtime photos just have to include a few tulips.
This shot was taken a week ago at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. I was gifted with a few seconds of sunlight before I had to run for the car. This same weather system spawned a tornado that struck the northern part of Minneapolis.
This was a late-August sunset taken at Lake Nokomis, in Minneapolis, after the sun had dropped below the horizon.
From the archive: A couple of sunsets tonight. This one was taken in July in northern Minnesota. The waves are from a fishing boat coming in off the lake.
From the archive. A small portion of the oak savannah at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The landscape here is bleak and miserable, as the month of April draws to a close, so tonight I thought I'd post some fall color pictures.
From the archive. An early morning shot of the upland prairie above the St. Croix River, on the Minnesota side.
A little touch of color in a gray and barren landscape.
From the archive. A layer of early morning fog hangs over the trail.
A lot of great bridge pictures have been entered into the current contest, but I thought I'd toss this one in anyway. This is a view of the Mendota Bridge, which crosses the Minnesota River near the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. When the bridge opened in 1926, it was the longest continuous concrete-arch bridge in the world. The name Mendota derives from the Sioux word Mdo-te, meaning "where the two waters meet."
Even in winter, a garden can be a restful and soothing place for contemplation... of how damn cold and miserable and long winter can be. :)
This one is for Biffobear who, being tired of winter's chill, was hoping to see a lovely summery one. :)
I liked the patterns of the trees and a landscape bleached of color by a cold, damp winter fog.
A bit of color in the dead of winter. Taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
Part of a rocky outcrop in the middle of Louisville Swamp, part of the Minnesota River Valley. This area is accessible only in winter when the swamp is frozen.
I like trees. After asking to take his photograph, I gave this old cottonwood a big hug and proceeded on my way.
