Spring is coming

Every morning for the last week I can hear the woodpeckers and titmice singing.
The Cardinals started calling yesterday, so spring is not far away. A little over a month, but still...the birds might know things us humans don't. Maybe an early spring?

Heading back today to see how much it has froze.

Winters Beauty

Winter's beauty is something that is ever changing.
 This little falls is one example.
When the  cold air arrives and stays below freezing ice forms. I visit this place every other day and the changes are always a big surprise. If the cold air stays around for a few more days the ice will completely cover the falls. It won't take long to melt when it warms up.
The stream that feeds this little water fall comes form an underground spring. The water is very warm... 43 degrees and it seems to stay this temperature.
