Sunrise in the morning brings just a glow of heat.
Our creek run off is still in this winter grip.

Only a few creatures stir.
If your pet stops walking bring her inside.

Last evening the sunset was spectacular.





As I was walking last evening, I always check the wetland for wildlife. Normally the lake side is the most active but this evening a river otter appeared on the inland side. As I reached inside my jacket for my camera, my actions opened my battery compartment and on withdrawal the batteries were ejected into a snow bank. I shouted to the otter a request to remain while I "kicked" around the snow to locate my batteries. Two minutes latter my polite local resident remained still while I capture this image.
