January 11/ Nature Notes

Last Saturday - Is it really January?


No ice so of course the swans were swimming. Wouldn't you? No? Me neither.

Largest square: two trumpeter swans who were very funny because one was a copy-cat swan that turned it's head every time the other one did.

Moving clockwise: a gull's feather resting on a a dried weed, fungi on a log, dried dog-strangling vine (nasty invasive stuff...but pretty), a still-green fern, and ice atop an upright cedar log.

Lovely collage. The colors are so restful.

You would laugh...I am tired...but did not see that was a feather till I read...not sure what I thought it was but sure not a feather...first quick glance thought a fat bug of some kind...but looked again and no...so just went on down and read.

I have been cutting fabric and had to quit because I was messing up...just too tired to think straight.

I love the fern. Such a graceful plant. And yes, even invasives can be pretty, sigh.
