The Arboretum Project Week 7
Panorama 02-19-06
It's been coooooold this week. Down to 3 & 4 degrees fahrenheit. Consequently, the creek in the Arboretum is frozen almost all the way along. And it snowed a little on Thursday, about 1/2 inch in 90 minutes or so. It's been so cold that hasn't had a chance to melt off. So I got some pix of snow and ice, though not the depth of snow I want.

The photos above and below were taken from the same spot, one pointing north, one pointing south. My chin was pretty numb by this time.

One of the lovely things about snow is that it gives you a good idea of who's been here before you.

I also got birds. How appropriate that it's the Audubon Society's 9th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count. They are, as much as possible, in the order in which I shot them. The one bird I saw that I didn't manage to shoot was the hawk that sailed through over my head. Twice. Both times, I had just turned the camera off. Dammit.

The hawk pix would be here. If they existed. Sigh.

I'm pretty sure these are pictures of the same bird. I know I and II are. But I think III is as well.
