The last few days have been full of contrasts – brilliantly sunny skies paired with temperatures in the single digits, if not below zero. There has been no time for standing around enjoying the views. Walks are brisk; ski trips are purely aerobic. Little birds have swarmed the feeders while the Sharp-shinned Hawk keeps an eye out for the slow ones. The dark night skies are full of more stars than you can even imagine, however as cold as it is, it’s hard to do much star gazing.

There’s something about this line that I really like.
Hard to imagine how cold it is in this picture.
Those are the sledding trails from New Years!
I tried digi-scoping with my little camera on my scope. There’s a real knack to getting it right.
