Watching You…
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a hoot barred owl sitting on a sign along side the road leading out to our house. He was there one evening and then again the next morning. Then, he was gone.
Yesterday, as I drove to work in a light rain, there he was again. He was closely watching the ground – probably looking for some critter to eat. When I stopped my truck on the road to watch him, he looked directly at me and I got this picture.
Pretty cool, eh?

Leaves are gone off the trees. The grass is brown. The sky is cloudy. People get depressed. The temperatures lately have been hitting near-record lows. Most people are just trying to get through winter and are looking forward to spring.
But, keep your eyes open. There are always bright spots, like the Cardinal that is pictured above.
Let’s not get so focused on surviving winter that we forget to look for the Bright Spots that are all around us.

Riley County High School performed at Manhattan Town Center prior to Christmas. Following the mall, they went to Meadowlark Hills and performed for the folks there.
Let’s always remember why we celebrate Christmas,

Kind of dreary, isn’t it?
This was the view out the back door of our office building on Tuesday. Snow was falling. The roads were slick. Schools were closed.
I’ve not seen official snowfall totals, but at my house I measured 9″ of the white stuff piled up.
Along with the snow, the temperatures dropped to -9F one morning. That should fit anyone’s definition of cold.

Another view of the sky from rural Riley County.
This full moon picture is underexposed by 2 f-stops. This is intentional, as it helps to bring out the subtle contrast of the areas on the moons surface.
I know. Pictures of the full moon are a dime-a-dozen, but I’m still in awe that people have actually walked on the moon!
