Road Trip!

What a great day!  It started with a beautiful, brilliant orange sunrise.  The fog from last night left some thick hoar frost on the trees.  Amidst the frosty trees, 2 young moose were snacking on some willow branches.  One of them was just as frosty as the trees themselves.

After work, I attended a presentation on owls at the local library.  It was very informative and I got to see a live owl up close.  The nine year old barred owl sat on the back of a chair for the entire time.  I usually carry a camera with me but wouldn't you know it, no camera, so I missed out on a close up owl photo.

The drive home was moonlit and starry; a gorgeous night.  The white tail deer were out along the road side.  What a peaceful sight; seeing their shadows against the snow.

I must have missed out on a beautiful day today.  The driveway is covered in water from the melting snowbanks.  Having just seen that owling presentation and the fact that the weather is supposed to be warm on the weekend, I think a road trip is in order.  Camera?  Check.  Map?  Check.  Full tank of gas?  Check.
