First Week in January/Nature Notes

First week in January

Algonquin Provincial Park was absolutely beautiful last Saturday - sunshine, no wind and a fairly mild temperature (for January).

Largest square: red squirrel. Moving clockwise; icicles on granite boulders. blue jays at feeder, gray jay on shrub, clumps of snow on pine needles and tiny, young spruce trees.

Please visit Michelle at Rambling Woods for more

Nice mosaic. I seem to have forgotten how to make them. Do you use Picasa or? It looks chilly there. MB
