FEBRUARY - The days may be getting longer, but it is still our coldest month. Just a wonderful month to curl up and snooze until our osprey arrive back in Scotland. - - and Wales and England. I don't know of any in Ireland.
WendyB has recently given us a link to an Albatross family cam which should prove entertaining as we continue our countdown to the arrival of EJ and Odin. With Keith on Bioko Island for he month, he may have a few adventures to share with us.
Let us remember that February is the month of romance, too.
Scotland will play against France at 17.00 hrs tonight! Im hoping they will win, all crossed for Scotland! Will ice my cake today! About time too!
Hello everyone - I am just checking in here before I go out into the cold and snow today. :( June, I LOVED that photo you posted with the ladybug and snail on the acorn!
Just now, in Ithaca, the gangs of starlings were temporarily displaced by the woodpecker! And now I am seeing titmice and deer in the background! :)
Willow, can't wait to finally see your cake!!! Have fun!

CC I'm not surprised there are deer in the area, but tell us more about what you saw -please. Didn't mean to make it sound like a command. :)
Was there only one? Did he linger long or was he just passing through? Where was he in the picture? Most of the area behind the camera is water. Is it frozen solid enough for deer to walk on it?
I miss all the good stuff. :(
June, sorry --- I'll try to get a pic the next time! There are often 3 or more deer when they come. They play with each other, and are usually in the bottom right corner.
CC No need to be sorry. I just appreciate your letting us know. Pictures are nice, but not always necessary. In fct, sometimes pictures are overdone. Five or more used when one or two would do just a well.
And I do love a good "word picture". Richard excels at word pictures on the main blog.
The bottom right corner is where the ducks and geese like to hang out.
Willow, I hope your cake comes out satisfactorily. To YOUR satisfaction, that is. I'm sure it will be very nice and I hope you are pleased with it.
Hope you are planning to post a pictures on the "all things Christmas" thread. I am eagerly looking forward to it, as I had given up hopes.
OK I finally decided to post this cartoon from Facebook, just for fun. Hope you enjoy the foolishness.
Ha ha JS, like it! Lol
