Stone fly

A Stone Fly (I think) on the snow but it was flying around and is very much alive.

I think more snow than expected

 Cotton ready for picking

 Could have been 6 in. that fell last night.

Sun, snow and a creek

The fog in the morning

The fog at the end of the line in Victor, NY

Bluejays on a gray day

A few of the Bluejays that were making a lot of noise chasing each other

Wing and Wind

 A couple of Canvasbacks swim in the water on top of the ice

The wind was barely moving but this windmill was doing it's job

Stid Hill South

 Bristol Ski slope to the left.

I just love this bridge.

The sun

A foggy morning

It was a warmish, misty, foggy morning.

Cool start Sunny day

 Short walk this morning in single digit temps, but  warm sunny afternoon in the swamp at the end of the lake.

A Redtail Hawk was about the only wild life.

Winter has arrived

 The path ahead

 The path in the Cross-Roads-Park has seen a bunch of traffic.

The Mallard couple are enjoying the creek and pond.  They may stay all winter.

A snowy blustey day.

 First snow that really has amounted to anything this season mostly from the winds moving it around.

Some just hangs around

The sink

This must be the place since the kitchen sink is here.

Things are growing in the forest.

The fern and some other plants are greening up just like  we don't have at least 2 more months of winter.

A tropical day ...

 The deer have survived the hunt.

 As a camera shooter what does this mean?  I have to put my cloths on?

 It was a typical January day ... Sunny, warm(above freezing) here in the Upstate.  

I think I misspelled that It was an atypical day. Cold and grey is the norm.

Past couple days ...

 The plow has been sitting waiting to work.

 Looking east, but a little later the sunset in the west matched the tails I was following.  I was driving so no pictures.

Honeoye  lake in the little snow

A tirade

Since there is not much to picture I will actually tirade blog!  

Why do drug manufacturers package small pills in bottles with large shoulders?  Note how the pill sits comfortably on the outside.  It sits even better on the inside of the shoulder.  When the bottle is full they build a ramp so you can get the pills easily, but when near empty you get either all or, usually, nothing until you apply vigorous shaking and the proper words ... dashblast the gosh darn blanky heek etc.

Bitter cold

Not much to picture the past few days and because of the bitter cold the walks have been shortened.

Happy New Year - 012

 Happy New Year.  Saw this young male Northern Harrier at the south end of the lake.

This is just 1 of a couple dozen Cedar Waxwings.
