Brrrr...

I snapped this shot of a couple Canada geese in the Connecticut River this morning. It was cold - about 10 degrees - and the air was filled with the slow grinding sound of ice sheets rubbing against each other.

Pileated Woodpecker

We had a visit from a Pileated Woodpecker today. It settled into our favorite old maple and went to work...

It worked hard enough to put a *big* hole in our favorite old tree. Let me just go ahead and stick my entire torso in here...













Like *this* big.
















And I couldn't imagine more wood chips on the ground had a chain saw gone to work on our tree. Absolutely amazing!

Mud Season...

Snapped this at the end of the driveway this morning. Some way to start Spring...

Happy Birthday Patrick.

Blue Sky!

We were overdue for this today...

More Snow?

Meg snapped this shot of our front path, burrowing through the snow to our front door...
