The Days get Longer

January sunrises come earlier each day. On January first the sun rises here around 7:18 and by the end of the month the sun greets us at 7:05.

This photo is the January sun rising over the Little Calumet River. An amazing amount of wildlife makes it's home on this 1/4 mile stretch of the river in a fairly urban area.

I found this stretch of the river after a hectic day at work some years ago. Since then, I've stopped by frequently and watched the seasons pass in this little piece of the world.
