Just and an hour or so it seems was all it took for this ephemeral hoar frost to be blown from the branches surrounding a small pond and melted by the morning sun.

Southern Sun
Looking up on a midwinters day an old cottonwood tree told a story.
The southern sun is warm and bright yet there’s a chill in the air.
I shall wait for spring.

Curious Otter
This guy was quite curious as to what we were doing although our presence did not alter his routine. He would dive into the water via a small hole in the ice and every 5-6 tries come out with a nice looking fish.

Taking off
A small but mighty American Kestrel taking off in search of another meal on a cold yet sunny winters day. Just as we got close enough to this bird for a photo she took off. Too bad as I really wanted to admire that color in her wing feathers.

Female Ringnecked Duck
While usually quite skittish and preferring to keep their distance from silly photographers like us this Female Ringnecked duck seemed quite at ease with us up on the river bank where she was enjoying a bit of quiet time. She paddled her way up and down the river preening and what looked to us to be enjoying a sunny winters day.

The flakes were flying
The snowflakes were flying so hard that even pulling the little point and shoot camera out of my chest pocket resulted in a lens covered in snow after just a few seconds. Nonetheless I gave it a try and these were the results. A small thermal pool on a big snowy day.
