Description Hi, I just had to get out for a bit...totally bored being stuck in the house, so I took a ride down by the river. I shot this from the bridge, these poor ducks and geese where just hunkered down, surviving the elements.
Β  The clouds are building so the storm is not to far off....wish it would go somewhere else.

pretty damn amazing eh . . . glad we don't have to do that, but then again, it might be good for the gene pool

Hi Tim, yeah ....it's been a brutal cold winter for us here on the East coast. Record amounts of snow and constant temps at 10 thru -12 degrees.Heck, I still have 4 feet of snow covering my garden plot...probably won't be planting till late April or into May.

well, if I could I'd take the entire east coasts snow for out mountains, it'll be another year of drought here in the central valley, most everything will be bone dry by may.Β  wish you well.

I'd gladly give it to you, but I think the shipping costs would be rather high!
Maybe you'll get some soaking rains in April.

Yeah winter is not the kindest season these ducks and geese have to endure....it makes you wonder why they don't fly south like most of the birds....

And to think they come south to stay warmer than Canada... You are very brave, my friend! Now go get some hot cocoa and stay indoors!
