man mound’s horns

appropriately ferned

in spring rain

(Baraboo River, just southeast of Man Mound.)

Man Mound is the last remaining anthropomorphic effigy mound in North America, located in Sauk County near the Lower Narrows of the Baraboo Range. It is one of my favorite places on the earth. If you missed it, I have a new, brief essay set at Man Mound in Commonweal.

I visited yesterday in the cool spring rain. It was glorious.

Thanks to the Sauk County Historical Society for keeping this place. You can support their upkeep here.
