Early morning out the back door. As you can see, we still have PLENTY of snow. We may not have gotten as much over the season as some of you, but it does not tend to melt between storms up here. Forecast looks like no 40° weather until next week....
Here's a pic I got from Lucy, along with an explanation of it. Called a fire rainbow, caused by high cirrus clouds, ice crystals and the sun hitting it a precisely 58°.... ? Well, you can get the complete story here.
Last Thursday I decided to go into the sky. Peg was in Phillips and took a few pictures as I was getting going.
It's easy to find the taxiways and runways because everything else is covered with SNOW!
Did I mention we still have some snow around? Onlyhow, off I go, into the wild, blue yonder....
Yram saw this Pileated woodpecker on their suet feeder the other day. What an awesome sight they are! Big and noisy.
Bryn was in the area on Saturday, so she decided to finally get off the ground. We headed up to Phillips mid-afternoon to take a tour of the area. She had her arms spread out in imitation of the airplane, I just didn't get a good angle for the photo.
O.K., the clowning is done, time for the official proof photo. We didn't spend a lot of time up there, but we did get down to Ottertail Country to get an ariel view of the place. Then back to Phillips and earth....
She certainly is a cheerful, as evidenced by these photos. We've had pictures of birds, planes, now it's time for a picture that's neither bird nor plane......

Sorry, it's Jen's fault. I shouldn't have put it on, I guess.... It does look nice, though!
enjoyed all the photos again. So glad Bryn could take a flight with you. And Mary, of course, thinking she could fly!!!!!
