Winter continues unabated. Although we escaped the big storms that hit the mid-Atlantic areas last week, we have been getting some snow.
Kim took advantage of the fresh snow earlier this week to go cross-country skiing in Estabrook Woods and of course the dogs were happy to follow along (here they think they're getting a treat).
Meanwhile, my digital camera is operational again since I bought a card reader for it (it's so old that when my computer got cleaned up six months ago, the old driver disappeared and several hours of research and working with Nikon didn't result in a solution). The card reader works just fine though and cost only a few dollars.
A few minutes ago, a sharp-shinned hawk raced by the window and through our porch in pursuit of something. The "sharpie" is one of the accipiter tribe (woodland hawks) along with the goshawk, Cooper's hawk and, across the pond, its soul-mate the sparrowhawk. They're such wonderful fliers able to slalom their way between the tree branches.
