Spring in Maine
Forsythia
About 30 meters directly above the house. What are they doing?
Seawall Beach, Phippsburg
Atop Morse Mountain
The blog has been quiet this week due to a number of system problems. No problems with Maine Owl. Nucleus has served this blog very well with minimal trouble. However, a nasty link spam attack on peacecast.us, the companion podcasting site, caused all sorts of malaise. Then, just as soon as I had that back together, I had some sort of Windoze glitch that led me to have to rebuild the system from scratch. So, I feel, patient reader, that you deserve four nice photos for Earth Week.

Veazie Dam in late afternoon
Water high and thundering
A few flood watches are up. With the temperature breaking 20C just about everywhere today, all the snow piles, much bigger just a hundred km north, are finally giving way. (All of our snow is gone.) That water makes its way down the Penobscot and over the Veazie Dam.

Crocus again
Four blooms up today!
Can't resist posting another crocus frame, as two more have appeared.

Squirrel at bird feeder
Another one for Pink
They're just too hungry to feed. A swarm of squirrels and Common Grackles (the latter are back in huge droves this year) can empty the supply inside an hour.

Crocus
Only ones in yard
These two blossoms come up reliably year after year.

Bald Eagle
Long shot
I'm kind of amazed this turned out at all. It's shot with a Nikon D40 & 55-200 VR lens, wound full long. The speed is 1/1000 at f5.6. It's a 100% crop over quite a small portion of the image. Give that lens some credit!

Last year, winter started in April
That's what we woke up to the first week of April last year. Much nicer this year, sunny and 10C.

Dying snow
1 cm of rain shrinks it
It's the season for dirty snow piles. But I recall a year ago today when the snow was just getting started. Maybe I'll post a retrospective tomorrow.
