Read More1-01-17. Started the New Year with a walk at Margaret Peak. This feather caught on the vine spoke to me. I just don't know what it said.

1-04-17. This hyacinth is in the birthday present Kathy gave me - 3 months of blooms. This is from the December pot, which is just starting out. Lots more macros to come. Smells absolutely wonderful! Spring in the winter.

1-26-17. CMNH birding trip along the Lake Erie shore in Lorain County. This was in Avon Lake, and the wind was so strong I left my camera in the car after this since I couldn't hold it anything like steady. Barely could hold my binoculars! I didn't have y camera when we came across at least 16 Bald Eagles at Old Woman's Creek. (Yes, we strayed out of Lorain a little.)
