Birch trees and Wallula Gap
Another beautiful day today. This morning there were at least six immature eagles by Foundation Island, and a couple of adults, trying to avoid the kids, it seemed. No swans today, but lots of pintails.
In the afternoon I wandered through the back yard - all two acres. The deer have been beating down pathways through the trees, and rubbing some trees hard enough to begin knocking them over. There were juncos and sparrows near the ground, robins in the trees, and the occasional magpie. My crocus have begun to sprout, and the garlic, shallots and cilantro just keep growing. I'm a bit concerned about what a real cold snap could do at this point - the roses are even beginning to show new growth already! Usually I put off any gardening until February - but this year may not wait that long.
The light today was beautiful - clear, slanted to pick up color, lots of contrast. And there were even a few snowflakes, blown in on a light breeze. A lovely day...
