Snowed all night. Shoveled and swept in the snow this morning. Still snowing when dog and I set off up the trail—first ones up, as usual. It’s great exercise cutting the first snowshoe trail in six or eight inches of fresh snow.
Saw a robin, heard crows. Then did some errands but encountered no willing avian photo subjects. Back home, though, I got a portrait of a turkey in the snow.
