- Didn't it just snow last week? High winds this time developed nice snow drifts along the path to the Carriage House.
- Shadows along the edge of the Little Bluestem Meadow seemed thrown about by waves of snow.
- I'm always curious about the history of the collapsed wooden structure in the Old Gravel Pit.
- The way the snow was thrown up along a rodent tunnel made me think of a Roadrunner cartoon.
- Stalks and shadows imitated each other at the Fern Glen.
- The contrast between the dark water and bright snow almost hurt the eye.
- The small ferns around the edge of the pond are always attractive.
- A gnarled old log in the snow. What was more interesting - the drifts or the wood?
- A walk or two ago on the Cary Pines Trail, I had seen the same scrapes and had written them off as someone's doodling with a stick. But this time there were only turkey tracks. Too many lines for claws; too long, and to the side of the tracks, too... I'll bet it was dragging wing tips.
- And what would the "Appendix" hold this week? I wondered. It was very quiet. I "pished" and the Carolina Wren answered. "OK, fine", I thought.
- The nearby foot bridge was snow bound.
- Twigs, drifts and shadows were all along the edge of the Wappingers Creek Trail.
- The Sedge Meadow looked like a field of marshmallows.
- Just before the Old Oak (and fungus...) was a curiously blistered patch of snow and closer, a wildly whipped patch - note the loose grape vine...
- Shadows were perfectly perpendicular across the boardwalk.
- And then I was across them and gone.
