Wagner's Pond

The weather has been out of whack.  One day rain, then snow, then rain, then frigid temperatures...so I looked out one morning and saw that one of the huge rain puddles had frozen over on Saturday.  Remember the photo of the great flood of '14 in ye old parsonages backyard?  Same puddle. The children from next door had brought two chairs over, they must have tried skating on the frozen puddle but I didn't see them.  Quite imaginative children they are.

Friday at the Feeder

After I left Silver Sands State Park I went down to the Audubon Club at Milford Point...still in search for a Snowy Owl sighting.  Apparently they have had a couple.  The woman said they were sighted just on the other side of the breakwaters.  SO, on that very cold but sunny day I did some more walking way out.  It was low tide.  I looked in the brush, no snowy's.  So after about an hour I turned around because, well, by this time after the State Park and Audubon, I was cold.  As I was getting in the car I spotted this bird in the tree.  Not sure what it is but he was fairly good size.  Any guesses?

Seagulls

Still at Silver Sands State Park in Milford.  There were quite a few seagulls foraging the shore for food.  I love looking at the structure of the wings.  So perfect and beautiful.

Silver Sands State Park

Saturday was a stunning but cold day.  I needed material for OS so I grabbed my camera and went down to Silver Sands State Park in Milford in search of Snowy Owls.  Well I didn't find any but everything was just glistening.

It was really cold.

Ice Hockey at Wright's Pond

Taking advantage of a sunny and cold day before more 'weather' sets in.

Grey and White Pizza Eater

I saw this streak of red from my office window and focused in on this squirrel who had found an entire slice of pizza.  It was almost as big as he was.  He looks like he is surfing doesn't he?

Happy New Year

From my house to yours, Happy New Year!  

Work schedule calls and so Orange Slices will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for hanging in there!
