Duck Puddle

After 48 hours of rain, then snow, then rain again, a huge puddle formed on a path and made a lovely swimming spot for a Mallard couple.

Why do two day weekends go by so quickly? Feeling a little bug eyed myself this morning.

Deception

Still photography can be deceptive. It was a visually beautiful spring day yesterday, but there were 50 mph winds. I was surprised I was able to get a still photo.

Heart and Shadows

The trunk of the tree with the buds I posted the other day. I was so taken by the buds, I didn’t notice the heart that day. Perhaps someone can identify the tree by its bark for me?

The Birds are Back

Even though it hasn’t been feeling or looking like spring. I assume the birds know better.

Snowbirds

Actually clumps of snow, not birds, but also the name of folks my age who flee to warmer climates in the winter. Too much snow, too much ice, too much cold. I don’t like February.

Elm Body

A young Chinese Elm was cut down last fall. The bark slowly started to fall off revealing the work of many critters.

Just the two of us

Much to my surprise, there were no other people or dogs to be found at the park yesterday. This meant I could let my dog run free through the snow all over the park. It was glorious.

Christmas 2020

The great melting is happening outside. This image reminds me that solitude can be beautiful.
My annual Christmas Eve party, with family and friends, (held on zoom) was very nice.
Wishing everyone a peaceful, safe, holiday time.
