It's the last day of January and it's been a very interesting month.  I was trying to make sure that got outside for many days this month.  Here are 5 of my favorite photos from my various outdoor pursuits this month...

Starting the month out was a hike at Buboltz Nature Center.  Love the cabin on this start of January...  Even though it's 2021, the cabin has a timeless look.  It could have January 1 1950!

My next photo is right out of my family room window on a snowy day.  We haven't had a lot of cardinals this year, but this one was posed perfectly.  And I just enjoy watching the snow fall this winter.  And we've had a few snowfalls.  Enough to have a nice covering of snow on the ground and allow kids to do some heavy sledding on the hills around town.

And then there are walks along waterways.  This shot was along a frozen channel.  Loved the footprints in the channel.  And the snow that clung to the branches.  Interesting random patterns.

On another drive and walk, I went to Oshkosh WI and enjoyed the views along Lake Winnebago.  It was a beautiful drive, followed by a refreshing walk along the shores of Lake Winnebago.

I love the contrast of the grasses against Lake Winnebago shore.

And, lastly for the month.  A foggy morning resulted in a wonderful look to this winter view.  Just walking in my neighborhood, camera in hand, and just capturing what I could find.

I appreciate going out on a Wisconsin winter day and walk and photograph what captures my eye.
