Spring’s around the corner!
No, not the pretty picture of birds returning, but this ‘possum (now out and about) under our bird feeders was a sign of upcoming spring! If you ever got a whiff of one, their odor is worse than their rat-like look! Rog (Photo by Shirley Birr)
POTD: Cat tails forefront neighboring Long Lake.
Adjacent to Kelly Lake is Long Lake. Shirley took this photo of cat tails steadfast to winter ’08′s cold and snow.
Long Lake is smaller than Kelly and experiences less ice movement in spring. Thus, many leave their docks in, as shown here. Roger
POTD: February ’08 moonrise and eclipse!
Photos taken by Shirley Birr as we watched the eclipse over Kelly Lake. FYI, apogee and perigee are references to the eliptical orbit of the moon around the earth; farness (apogee) and nearness (perigee).
