The Saturday Morning Post - February Photos


Just gliding along, 



Hi Honey, I'm home with fresh seaweed! 




Downy Woodpecker 


Would you park there? 



A 10mm super wide angle lens, into a convex mirror, a view wider than the human eye. 


I am not the only one out for a walk, 






Mrs and Mr Duck




An alley in Old Town Alexandria 


Beavers 

Snow on the fine mesh back fence at the condo.




Ring Billed Gull


Chickadee 


Ice on the trail in the Marsh several mornings 


My Summer Car (Convertible) in the Snow


We had several modest snowfalls in February this year


The history of Dyke Marsh, includes the building of berms or dykes to drain it for agricultural use, then in the post World War II construction boom, it was mined for sand, gravel and rock, and backfilled construction debris.  The child's wagon and dump truck, are in tune with the history.  

Statistically, we are likely to have one more mild snow, then winter will be gone.  Likely by the time I post photos from March, we will start to see buds bursting into leaf, and early wildflowers.

  3. That fence in the snow creates a pattern that looks exactly like a B&W version of the fabric we are using to have a couple of cares reupholstered in.

  7. Great selection of February photos. No, I wouldn't park near that sign. Too many rules. Great wildlife sightings.
