I guess that the rider was a bit premature in thinking that Spring meant riding weather. Yes, there was heavy snow falling at the moment of photo capture that caused the image to appear blurry.
Yesterday was a sunny winter's day, so I decided to wander along the dunes cordwalk at Kohler-Andrae State Park (Wisconsin). This view was seen from the end of a cordwalk at the top of a dune that overlooks the beach . If you look to the left, you'll have a glimpse of Lake Michigan. Rumor has it that the dunes will be snow-covered again in the near future.

My husband and I went on a couple fall color drives when we got back from New England. In locating my photos on the map, I found a few of the shots, where they were taken, but I couldn't find this one. I'll have to go back later and see if I can find it.
Edit: According to the order of my pics, this should be somewhere north of Wilton, Wisconsin. Originally, I was looking for a side road, but I think now it was the actual road I was on! ha! How funny! This is actually located up in the hills, north of Wilton. It's an old country road (called Kettle Road), that climbs its way up to one of the main roads on the ridge, so it doesn't have any painted lines down the middle, nor is it very wide.

I hadn't visited Kohler-Andrae State Park (Wisconsin) since before our Florida trip. As there was no storm or severe wind chill, I decided to do a little exploration this morning. The park has many different ecosystems-I wandered along the dunes that overlook the western shore of lake Michigan. There were no woodland creatures about, but there was faint sunlight and beautiful snowy landscapes to appreciate.
I chose to shoot winter in b&w.
The current Wisconsin State Capitol building was completed in 1917. By state law it is the tallest building in downtown Madison. The building is a National Historic Landmark
Sunshine/winds/sleet/sunshine/snow/sunshine all in one day!.....that's Thursday's typical Wisconsin Spring. ;-)
A couple of more posts from Wisconsin. The colors are finally creeping down here as well. I'll have some local shots up soon.
Another great white trillium with a nice backdrop. Should have moved that stick, but the light was too fleeting to waste time with.
Friday we visited the Sheboygan Marsh. I climbed the observation tower with its 144 steps to view the panorama.
Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.
