Whitetail Deer, two poses.

The past couple of weeks has been hard. I haven't been out to do much except for a day hike with a dear friend.

 Yes, the white stuff around her is snow. After having temps in the 70's (21C thereabouts) we have dropped back to normal (whateverthehellthatis) weather. We've had 2 inches the other night, which melted and then a quick dusting,last night.
She was one of three that stopped by to clean out a bird feeder, and also another reason for a fence around the garden.

Northern Lights

Last night, I put my book down, turned the light off and looked out the window. What usually was a dark sky over Spotted Mt., was lit up. I watched for a while and then it hit me. Northern Lights! I debated very briefly about getting a picture, then grabbed my camera and a small tripod.  Laying on my bed I quickly composed the shot and let the shutter go.

While I have seen more bright  lights, I'm not complaining. We don't get to see them as much as I would like, and usually when I hear there is a likely display, we have clouds.

April 1

I've been using Google Docs to keep track of what's going on in my part of the world.

Here's today's entry:

April 1- Song sparrow,chipping sparrow. First slug sighted. It feels like spring, warm last night (above freezing)(not the first), robins calling. Afternoon: mourning cloak, and one small unidentified butterfly.
