You can actually feel it now.
The sun is returning to the winter sky and looking into straight into that wonderful ball of light warms the bones regardless of what the thermometer reads.
Hello sun.

On a Monday morning
Time flies especially and especially on the weekends with the speed of a woodpecker pecking.
Well, you know what I mean.
Happy Monday and have a great week.
Winter Finch
A nice morning treat was a visit by a Goldfinch this week. Not a regular in the winter here by any means. This guy flew in and stayed just the morning before moving along on his way. Wherever that might have been. A splash of color on a overcast February morning.
Redhead

Exuberance
We were treated to quite a show by this Male Hooded Merganser the other day and unfortunately for him we seemed more interested in his display than the female Hoodie he was courting. To begin with, he took on the other male in the pond in a typical Hooded Merganser head bobbing competition. He appeared to win that battle easily. Next he danced around his lady bobbing his head up and down and to our surprise would crook his neck sideways and belt out a little tune for her. The female hoodie would occasionally glance over his way, tuck her head back into her feathers and continue with her afternoon nap. He kept head bobbing and singing for quite some time and we got to witness quite a show but were left wondering was the female just playing hard to get, or was his show subpar?

Ice Fishing
We watched this Otter dry off on the ice and then quickly dive back into the water looking for fish on Yellowstone lake.
Another successful day out on the ice for this Otter.

Foggy and Frosty
Rising in the east and obscured behind thick fog, the winter sun lights an old cottonwood tree covered in delicate hoar frost. Once the fog lifted it only took a couple of hours of sunlight to melt the frost away. Temporal, fractal art at is finest. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
