| Western Pond Turtle |
Weak winter sunshine brings a western pond turtle out of marshy water and up onto a little hummock of organic matter. He tips his shell to gather as much warmth as possible.

| Red-winged Blackbird |
Blackbirds are just beginning to set up territories on the same marsh. So far their singing is rather half-hearted, but their wings are beautiful when they fly.
For the past many days I have either been chained to my computer .... or sitting beside one pond or another. I love it when we find enough activity to keep us in the same spot for hours ..... I have plenty of time to sketch while Dale photographs.
