While The Glaciers Retreat



The little Mourning Dove above was taking advantage of the sunshine in Ohio yesterday. The light was so strong that though the temperatures were below 32' - the icicle above the dove's head sent drips past his perch onto the receding glacier.
Today I photographed a Gambles Quail with nothing like an icicle looming overhead. What a difference 4 hours can make this time of year.
I think I'm getting a fresh cold - the first this year. It's OK - I feel so relaxed and bleary it's kinda nice. And what the heck - Everyone - has colds. Far be it from me to be a non-conformist. (I hear my friends sniggering)

Cathy, your photos really create the mood. I particularly love the first one of the quail - the colors are so strong, especially when I enlarged the photo.

I hope your cold doesn't keep you down. Keep posting!

We are warming up in NC but the flu bug hasn't migrated yet. My fingers are crossed that I stay immune to it :)

I love your photos. As Mary said, the colors in the first one are wonderful, especially when viewed large.

I hope your cold is a quick one. I'm surprised (I should knock on wood here) that I haven't gotten sick, there's a lot of bugs going around here too.

You'll have to get out your long underwear when you get out for those walks. Here's hoping the cold vanishes...both types.
