Even More Snow!

One snow storm was amazing! But, the unthinkable happened! More snow! The city shut down once again, which meant more exploring!


Eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) tracks, with the back legs reaching in front of the front legs.

White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) tracks, paired and even.

Before the snow, ice fell across the city, coating all the trees in a layer of ice. This sheet of ice peeled right off the leaf of a Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora).

Even buds were not safe. The picture below shows the cigar-shaped Eastern Beech Tree (Fagus americana) bud with a coat of ice.
