Snow
Serenity
I had hiked down from the Adirondack Railroad tracks to the west branch of the Beaver River, went up stream and there it was, with the sun full on the ice and trees.
Winter at Mud Pond

Mr. Jay with attitude.
Having bird feeders at our home in Watertown provides me with many photographs of birds that display a variety of attitudes.
Barn with character.
Driving from Canton to Ogdensburg I had passed this old barn so many times and would always marvel at the character it displayed.
Muskrat On Ice
Watching this muskrat was fascinating. Catching breakfast, cleaning, and eating he/she was being very patient. This was in early spring all the ice had not left the small pond at the Brookside Cemetery Park in Watertown, NY.
Snowy on a tin roof
I was heading towards Watertown on 37 and spotted this Snowy Owl perched on the tin roof of an abandoned home in Hammond.
Bunny and Shadow
Watching this bunny on a cold sunny day going in and out of its safe place, it finally sat up for a photo with its shadow!
Snoopy Deer
While at our camp I looked out our window and someone was peeking back in at me!
A bird in the Hand
It was a snowy evening at camp and my daughter had a handful of corn and a chickadee landed right in her hand to see what she was holding!
"April Showers" of another sort...
Surprise spring snowstorm in the evening as I walked home from an event on the SLU campus. Beautiful, not unexpected, but not particularly welcome...
