This was actually a failed shot of a merganser, but I like the way it caught the snow falling on the river.
And here’s my best shot of the mergansers. It was tough to capture them with a zoom in the falling snow and moving river. They were also very busy fishing and were only above the surface for seconds before diving again. While far from perfect, I like the shot and how it shows how well their pattern blends with the snowy rocks and river’s surface.

Left brain, right brain, I can't decide. After many years of successful visual arts pursuits, I'm working on my other creative inclinations. For the past 8 years, writing has been my second full time job, and it's worth every sleepless night.

You’re right it was a very chilly day. I wasn’t on the porch for long. I’m always amazed at how the birds can be in the icy water!
