UnJanuary weather

 This was my car thermometer 21Jan017.  Very unlike January

 Fog on the Ontario Trail

 The cascades on Flint Creek

 Snow returns

Getting ready for sap

 This is a small selection of the tubing being set up to gather Maple Syrup

A tap ready to get plugged in

The herd

These guys survived the hunt and are now trying to survive the weather.  It was bitter cold with a strong wind today

Foxes and no hen house for miles

 Found these 2 sleeping in the yard this morning.

Comet 45P

This was taken New Years day evening.  I think the really bright star near the upper left corner, is really Comet 45P

Happy New Year

 

This is a train mural painted on the side of an underpass formally used by the Auburn RR as it passed under I90 in Victor, NY.  The artist is unknown to me.  I didn't see a signature.  To see it you must hike the Auburn Trail as no roads pass in sight.

 This is a detail shown in the picture above between the cars as well as the rough wall.

Farther along the trail I noticed this flag I had not seen before.  It is black and white with a "Thin blue line" to commemorate the police officers and firemen lost while on duty.  A great reminder
