Outdoor Potpourri: Early Spring Photos

By JIM NIGRO

Overlooking the lake plain from Mudrzynski's Hill in Oakfield

On Oak Orchard Creek at this time of year it is nearly impossible to distinguish the main channel from flooded backwaters

Placid-looking surface belies a strong current

Conifer swamp beyond the power line

At first glance this seems to be nothing more than a reflective image, but a closer look reveals...

beavers constructed their lodge around the trunk of a black willow

Here the beaver has girdled cottonwoods

Apparently the beavers have a taste for wild cherry as well

Tuesday morning, 6 a.m., March 30th, if the pic's a bit blurry....so was the photographer, he hadn't had his coffee yet, but thought you might like to see the "cinnamon moon"

Hey Jim,

Love the pics. Your pictures make me feel like I'm back home again enjoying the beauty that only WNY has to offer. Keep up the good work of showing God's beauty.

Hi Barb! There is a good deal to choose from. Wherever you look, be it the surrounding countryside or the heavens, there is much to be thankful for. Ps. 8:3
