Dear Friends, thanks for all your encouraging words and prayers, Jim and I were in Fish Lake Refuge this week and we saw about 20 Trumpeter Swans who have arrived here before the ice is melted.  These two had just landed on the ice and I loved the cyan hue of the ice, this image was processed with LAB color space, enjoy til Tomorrow MJ

Dear Friends, this fellow had sprayed in the bushes, not sure what upset him but he was trying to outrun his own smell.  His tail was nice so I made him glow, he is probably asleep in his hidy hole now that snow has covered our landscape, til Tomorrow MJ
