Spring too early

 60° F folks are sailing on Seneca Lake.  There should be icebergs out there.
 Sugering season has started.  This is maple syrup on it's way.
This is the web the sap has to go through.
Many Robin seem to have known this would be a good year to stick around.

 A full moon at sunset
Fort Hill in the distance to the south west.  What the people would see as they moved from the village to the next hill where their reserves were store in a Palisaded compound (Fort Hill)

Up State NY this winter ... so far ...

 A "Sugar Coating" of snow
 Just a record image so future generations know what a Cattail looks like.  They are getting very rare in the area because they are being displaced by Fragmites.
 Fragmites
In this picture are Red Head Ducks, Mallards and at least one Common Merganser.  This south end of Canandaigua Lake should be frozen but the temp has be mild.
