Madison, WI

Started walk 6:15 a.m.

Sunshine and cold. I chose too light of a jacket and was chilled for the first half of the walk. It was foggy where the open water kissed the cool air and the paths were muddy and slippery.



The red twig dog is beginning to leaf and there are spring flowers everywhere. I believe that I photographed Virginia Bluebells next to the duck pond stones. They stand about 14 inches tall with clumps of baby blue, bell-shaped flowers. Please, somebody, preferably a knowledgeable horticulturist, tell me if I'm right -- or wrong.

Coffee -- Costa Rican - Excellent. Macanudo Cigar.
