With temps near 45, the snow is retreating.

Snow in retreat

Less snow, more open foraging
Love these warm temperatures and the bright sunlight melting the snow. There is a chance of some more snow tonight, hopefully with not much accumulation.

Watching the wildlife in our backyard is one of those special activities we enjoy when we’re not out on the road. With the temperatures in the teens and snow on the ground, it is a tad bit uncomfortable to sit outside. Our backdoor has provided a decent enough window to both observe and allow for some camera work. Hope you enjoyed the images.

Went for a drive today. Here’s what we saw.
These fine feathered friends of ours were certainly enjoying their afternoon romping in the river. Hop on the ice, jump in the water, swim a bit, hop back on the ice, repeat, repeat again. Ducks have a fine life.

Sometimes Nature shows us that things can be better in two’s.

We had a bunny cross the yard yesterday



It is a very cold day, highs only in the mid teens. These two squirrels were “frozen” in place for several minutes on the trunk of this maple tree. There were no predators visible from our back door, however these guys seemed to be in the classic “Don’t move or that thing will catch and eat us!”
