winter is suddenly here 

another shot of the Chickadee

first snow fall of the year about 7 inches 

just another pic of swans flying in  

the flakes today were not the round semetric kind, they were broke-up instead 

looking in the back yard with fisheye, took pic with flash , the white globs are snow flakes 

looking up at the large snow flakes comming down

strange looking ice forming on the shallow ponds 

Downey woodpecker looking for bugs 

this little Downey woodpecker was looking for some bugs, but their about all gone 

the ice is always different, depending on how cold it is  

the frost is on the leaves 

this is the, spikee, ice caterpillar

cool soft looking clouds 

it snowed today, and the dried flowers caught some 

wild looking clouds looking down this valley  

lots of bubbles frozen in the beaver house 

didn't see much of the mountains yesterday  

pic of the mud hut they have built on one of the fish hatchery's ponds, the pond how ever may be to shallow, and freeze this winter , and suffocate the bevers 

this is some of the limbs and trees these two have cut down, it streches about 40 feet 

the landscape around the creek is changing because of this, THE BEAVER,
