Photography amazes me. This photo is untouched except for a bit of cropping and the framing. How do cameras DO what they DO? How can a bunch of pixels capture the very essence of a crocus? And why does a photograph like this make me wonder about the very existence of the entire universe…
No Matter How Long the Winter,
Sitting Pretty
“Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan’s egg.” ~ Hans Christian Andersen
This Tundra Swan, oddly enough named “Snowflake,” sits prettily in a pile of snow at the Baraboo City Zoo in Baraboo, Wisconsin. She lives there with two large flocks of ducks — the Mallards and the wood ducks.
