The South Fork of the Kinni - in the University of Wisconsin - River Falls campus.
It's a gorgeous day here in Wisconsin, and I'm off to enjoy the outdoors.
About a month ago, I took my camera out and took some photos of the Kinnickinnic River (and its tributary, the South Fork) here in River Falls, WI. The Kinnickinnic is a real jewel, one of the few remaining streams with a naturally reproducing trout population.
I used a polarizer on my lens to emphasize the reflections off the melting snow and water.
Enjoy!

This old oak is on the pathway along the South Fork. It's one of my favorite old trees.

Not all that we do lasts forever. This is the remnant of a railroad track that came through River Falls back when it was a milling town. The mill and the railroad are long gone, the Kinni and the trout remain.
7:08 PM PT: I've published a short diary of photos from today, at the end of the Kinni where it meets the St. Croix River: http://www.dailykos.com/...
