The snow is not going away ...

We had a bunch of snow on friday and more on saturday, and more on sunday. Enough already! It has been warm enough to melt some away each day, but we seem to accumulate slightly more each day. At this rate we will up to our necks by June.

The day after ...

We went to the local park which is about the only place that there is parking plowed out. Grenville had a great fun charging through the snow which was up to his belly.
This shows the snow depth.
Red-bellied Woodpecker out doing his thing in the falling snow.
The Mallards were making use of the open water. They are a little early moving north.

Huuugh Snow storm

We had the snow storm of the season which means it was over about 3 inches. Actually it amounted to about 12 inches in my yard, a lot but nothing we can't deal with. The sunset was almost dull because of the clearing sky.
The sunset also had a nice moon rise.

LeHigh crossing

It snowed again last night and they are promising snow until tomorrow or Saturday. It is quite pretty outlining the bushes.
We are on the Lehigh Valley trail looking over the bridge where the Auburn RR went underneath.
A little further down the trail is a nice stop to sit and rest your weary bones.

On the Trolly Trail

It was just at freezing ( considered warm at this point in the season) with just a little snow making for a very beautiful walk, but also very difficult to capture in a photograph.
Got this picture yesterday of sunflowers in winter. (See 31 Jul 09 for the sunflower in bloom

Red Tail again

I have photo graphed this guy on many occasions. When we first saw him he was hangin' in the tree looking over the field.
Later we found him in a bush along the road. Just a great looking bird and fun to photograph.

A red breasted bird

I am not sure what this is. I thought he was an American Goldfinch but the breast is soo red that I am thinking Scarlet Tangier?? Oh well neat bird in my back yard.
How about a Finch?
