What really caught my eye here was the open water flowing under the fallen trees. Natures bridges.

....for another month of winter.  By the end of the day we had over a foot of snow with a prediction of sub-freezing  temperatures  for the remainder of the week.

Part of the history and growth of our town was being a stop on the B&M Railroad.  A few years back they restored this train and opended new Depot Park which is the entrance to the bike trail which is located over the old tracks.

"Gumdrop Mountains"

Do you remember the game "Candy Land"?  I played it as a child as did my own children. Who can forget Gramma Nut, King Kandy, the Gingerbread People.  It was one of the first board games I bought for my children and we would play it over and over again.

"Au diable la beauté lunaire
Et les ténèbres millénaires
Plein feu dans les Champs-Elysées !
Voici le nouveau carnaval
Où l'électricité ravale
Les édifices embrasés."

Ok it's not a night shot of Paris but Metz. I Really like this city for I lived there for 5 years. I think I actually found my entry for Dgrin MC2 !

Edit : this is a hdr shot composed from 6 different exposures... May not look really different than the natural shot here
SmugMug > popular all-time > Day 258 - Snowy Owl

I heard of some owls in the area, so I traveled to Hartlen Point this afternoon.  I was walking along the cobble beach checking out the coral and soft shell crabs stranded from low tide and watching the tide come in smashing huge waves on the shore of Devil's Island.  

I was just about ready to head back when I noticed what looked like a new piece of driftwood on the beach.  Something out of place from the last time I was here a few months ago (I have a photographic memory that makes me notice this stuff).  I was about 1000 feet away, so I zoomed in the best I could, and then I saw it move, adjusting its wings.  My mouth dropped! :)

It took me a while to work my way through the bushes and briers to get within 50 feet.  The owl knew I was there and allowed me to continue observing for about a half hour.  He was really amazing to watch.  Then I heard some dogs barking in the background, off he went to some pine trees in the distance.

I spoke to a birder in the area and he said everyone is excited because there are going to be a lot of owls headed South this year.  It was a very successful breeding year and there are hundreds headed our way from the Arctic.  

This owl is most likely a male, as it's been reported that most young males have already begun heading South. So we should start to see more in the upcoming weeks.  He said there are already two or three in the area now, with more expected soon.
