- Patchy ice was encountered everywhere today.
- Cheerios along the Cary Pines Trail were still famous with the springtails.
- The bottom of the Old Gravel Pit was solid.
- Buds were emerging in the Fern Glen.
- A Hemina Pinion moth was lying belly up in the path through the Norway Spruce Glade.
- It appeared to be "just resting", so I placed it under some leaves off to the side.
- Near the intersection with the Ed-venture Trail we found a nest that I've walked by perhaps 50 times without having noticed.
- One can't help but notice the work of a Pileated Woodpecker.
- The foot bridge by the "Appendix" was waiting to bear us across the seep.
- The first flakes of the forcasted snow fell as we passed the Old Oak and fungus.
- I swung back to take the boardwalk across the end of the Sedge Meadow.
- The snow doesn't show in the photo across to the Gifford House.
- Or in the view of the Carriage House.
- But it couldn't hide in front of the hills.
- Eight inches were to fall over night. Again...
