An icy cold wind raked the summit of Beech Hill while Jack and I were up there this morning. Icicles hung from the roof of Beech Nut. A solitary crow flew crazily by, riding the wind.

Afterward, in (much calmer) Camden, I spotted three calm crows perched in a naked hardwood right outside the door of Megunticook Market. One of them posed for a photo.
