Heading down to the Chippewa River and watching daylight fade to dusk was a much needed respite from the last couple days of craziness and anxiety. Cycling home with the last little bit of dusk dying around me I wondered if plugging back into the world was really worth the bother.

Bullhead Pond
Bullhead pond is a neat little spot a few miles east of Eau Claire. The photo was taken a couple weeks back when fall colors were at their peak.
The Mill
This is my latest photo of the paper mill I mentioned in yesterday’s Dells Pond post. I take a lot of pictures of the mill and will talk more about it in a future post.
Carson Park
Carson park is a an 134 acre peninsula that forms the oxbow in Half Moon Lake and it one of my favorite places in Eau Claire, it reminds me of a mini version of Point Defiance Park in Tacoma (one of the best parks ever!). The land for the park was donated by the familyContinue reading “Carson Park”
A Little Different View

Fall Colors On The Chippewa
Never mind the odd crop; this photo’s a bit of rescue. Even as a rescue, I think it worked out good enough to post. The dimpling on the surface of the river is some sort of huge insect hatch coming off. It always surprises me that things hatch this late in the year.
Last Holdouts
Just a quick cell phone snap of, what have to be, some of the last holdouts of wildflowers this season. Spotted these in Boyd Park today.
Glowy Leafy II
Not sure which version of the shot I like better.
Sunbeam On Water
I guess you could argue that the sunbeam is more on shore than on the water, but I like it either way. You get a lot of these sorts of streams of bright light on blustery days around here and I’m quite fond of them.
