Resisting hibernation

A few days ago, I returned to the cold and snow of Eastern Washington.  Despite days without the temperature rising above freezing, there are signs of life scurrying about.  Rabbits and mice have left trails in the snow and flocks of birds perch in the trees eating last year's fruits.

Rabbit footprints in the snow.
Although the chill weather hasn't sent all the wildlife into hibernation, it is keeping me indoors, where I have been looking over photos from Florida with growing nostalgia.  Therefore, expect to see posts from Florida continuing for the near future!
