I saw the first robin today at 6:10 PM — he was sitting on a power line and singing a song.

Duck Art
Anya was playing around with some artistic photography today — duck reflections in the pond.

Thanking the Maple Trees
Anya likes to thank the maple trees with a hug — sap is flowing as we tap the trees.
Sunset
First Crocus Flowers – 2023
First Buzzard Sighting – 2023
We were building our log archway this evening, and I thought there were a few geese coming in off the lake … but they were flying strangely (well, strangely for geese anyway). Gliding through the air, I saw five buzzards! They are really early this year (although they were also flying south … so maybe they thought better of hanging out this far north in January?).
Autumn Sunset
There was a beautiful sunset this evening – we sat in the front yard and enjoyed the view.
Double Rainbow
We had a quick deluge today, followed by some sun, followed by more rain — and, in the middle, there was a double rainbow over the lake!
Indigo Bunting
I like watching the goldfinches eating the ornamental grass seeds. Today, though, this blue bird showed up too. Looking up small blue birds, we found a rare blue bird native to, like, Venezuela … seemed rather surprising to see one here. And then I scrolled to the next small blue bird — the Indigo Bunting — which is fairly common and native to our area. So … yeah, I’m going to go with Indigo Bunting.
