went to rieck's lake park in alma, wi to check out tundra swans. most of them had left and we saw a small flock of them dozing in the sun on the ice along with slumbering geese. it was windy and that made it cold despite the deceptively warm 41f sunny weather. alma is a nice town and could have been scotland or new zealand as v pointed out with its bluffy landscapes, cattle and a waterfront. the main street was picturesque and quaint. saw a couple of eagles cruising the bluffs that overlooked main st. left after having americanos at a local cafe/gift shop. checked out the beach en route. it was blustery and bitterly cold; we saw a big rafter of swans on the other shore but too far away even for binoculars. drove back via potsdam and plainview and took pictures of haybales, something which has been long overdue. somehow the landscape looked like a pink floyd album cover, perhaps a subliminal entry of a momentary lapse of reason. made mental notes of a lot of trees in the vicinity which might be good candidates for a winter snow session.
