I missed the feathers on the end of the wing but I only had one shot as this crow flew right overhead and was gone. At first glance, I thought it was no good, but actually I kind of like it. Capturing ‘most of the bird’ is sometimes quite enough … :) 04/14/20
This is how we started the day yesterday - shovelling almost 10” of snow off the decks. Obviously I was a little too optimistic about spring’s arrival. This weather seems particularly hard to take… who needs a 2 day snow storm with everything else that is going on these days? Oh well… what can you do? “Press on Regardless” as we say in my family when things get rough. I guess that’s how we are all feeling. One day at a time, my friends - take care and Press on Regardless. 04/04/20 ps… I couldn’t get to the path to take the comparison shot I promised, the snow was too deep to walk through.
I found this little Ladybug riding a leaf as it floated around on the standing water in the yard. (The water in the Prairie and in the yard is all from melting snow and will only last a few days until the ground thaws and it sinks into the earth.) The Ladybug seemed to be alive, although I don’t know how it could be. It’s still way too cold for insects to survive. I just left him alone to continue his journey, alive or otherwise. 04/16/20
