Common Nature

Liked the squiggles in the sky from a sunset a few days ago.



We're in the 70s this week and all the ice has been gone since the start of the month. Here's the muskrat on the last bits of ice sheet already turning liquid.



We haven't had much snow this year but for a while it was cold enough to stick around. On this day there was bright sunshine all day and it was so strong on the snow and water one could hardly look at them.



Pretty surprised to see a bufflehead on our lake last month. We're nowhere near their winter or breeding habitats. Very small duck and as it kept diving, not that easy to get a good photo of, unfortunately.
