I'm going to pretend it is Spring



....remember, we had green grass, the geese were still protecting the goslings, and no one had to shovel the snow!

I am not a fan of winter....


....but sometimes the snow looks like "seven minute icing" on a birthday cake; so it can't all be bad.

snow buntings



I have seen this flash of white several times as I drive along some of the back roads, but either I don't have my camera with me or the birds have gone before I can get the camera out of the bag. Today I had better luck, at least of got a couple of shots off before they all few away. These seem to be female white snow buntings, obviously the males are off on a warmer holiday.
