Change of Season

Sugar on Snow

While cruising through the woods today I came across these tracks in the fresh snow.

It was plain to see that I had just jumped a pair of bees out of their beds.
Traces of honey on the snow confirmed my suspicions.
Pushing ahead I soon overtook my quarry.
Evidently Northern VT Honeybees yard up during the winter similar to Whitetail Deer. I found them much easier to track on the snow than on bare ground, which can be done but requires alot of patience.

Well Seasoned

Newly fallen snow gives a fresh new look to these old classic's.

Saints and Singers

One never knows what a day might bring, I never expected to meet a cross eyed one legged bird today.
