Catch up again.

It wasn't too bad of a day Wednesday. We even had some sun, but there weren't any new birds or animals to photograph, so you will have to settle for trees, snowflakes, and Frosty

This area had so many beautiful interesting trees covered in frozen fog!




Another shot from last week when we were at the corn crib. These turkeys can take to the air amazingly fast for a big bird.

Frosty just waking up from a nap in her basket bed. She now sleeps in here and will let the dog have his bed all to himself...


Here is what the county snow plows did to our mail box! Ours is the green one. This is the 3rd time in one month. Our son fixed it and it looks like new, but how long will it be before it's trashed again? Probably when the next big snows hit us.





Rimed Crystals. Clouds are made of countless water droplets, and sometime these droplets collide and stick to snow crystals. The frozen droplets are called rime. All the different types of snow crystals can be found decorated with Rime. When the coverage is especially heavy so that the assembly looks like a tiny snowball, the result is called GRAUPEL. This crystal is a Stellar Crystal covered with rime. That's about all for today. Tomorrow it's an oil change for the van, and it's an early appointment. The day should give us more sun too. That certainly will be welcome.
I hope you all have a productive and easy day.

Tonight as I type this, it's 8 deg. out and a beautiful clear night.
