The calm before

Black-capped chickadee, Beech Hill, Rockport, Maine, 22 November 2011.

Black-capped chickadee.

This was a warm day. Surprisingly so. I got out in it early, did a bunch of errands, hiked Beech Hill with Jack, though a number of times how nice it’d feel to be riding my bicycle—but I didn’t. Still stuck at 1,500 miles for 2011, exactly. And I’m liable to stay there.

Two islands, Beech Hill, Rockport, Maine, 22 November 2011.

Two islands.

Because we’re supposed to get snowed on tomorrow. Like, a lot of snow.

But today had fresh air, mild temperatures, chickadees, bronze hillsides, blue sky, and a little flock of goldeneyes at Chickawaukie Lake.
