Spectacular Moon

If you haven't already seen it, go outside and see the moon tonight! The technical term is a waxing crescent, with 6% of the disk illuminated, according to the USNO website. I tried to get a photo, but am having trouble. Maybe I will have one by tomorrow!

Also saw an Eastern Bluebird at Fontenelle Forest today. That always makes my day!

Turkey Tracks and an Expected Storm

We went walking last weekend, while the sun was shining. There were a lot of tracks visible in the snow, but these were big enough to photograph:
Turkeys! Interestingly, one of my fellow walkers observed that there is a passing resemblance to the dinosaur footprints we saw in Colorado.

My mind is slipping into hibernation mode this evening. A big storm is predicted to come through tonight and tomorrow. It is overcast, and my dog has not shown any interest in moving around this afternoon.

At least fresh snow will mean fresh tracks to identify.
