interesting...the bottom swan is a Mute Swan..where did you get that?I believe they were imported from Europe and Asia by cities back in the day for their parks/ponds...they are aggressive to other species and considered an invasive. When I moved to the town I live it 30 years ago, they had a pair on the lake there.

I decided to pass on the Vikings game today and go for a hike in the snow and see if any swans were holed up in a piece of water that usually stays open all winter. A very enjoyable afternoon, I had 50 yard line front row seats to lots of landings and takeoffs.

in 1985 i pulled off the waterway at Coleman Island to shelter under this tree.it was a major downpour and in those days my rain gear was an old poncho that was also my ground cloth.

i propped the canoe over one of the low branches and waiting the storm out.later that day i discovered i lost my watch. there was a hurried jumble of gear involved so it must have been the place.
ever since then when i pass that way i always take a snack break and look for that watch!

This is from behind my cabin several years ago. Heavy rains before freeze-up brought the Roseau River to the top of its banks and then it got really cold. As the water ran out underneath the ice collapsed. I was not there but can't imagine what that sounded like ad 14" thick ice was breaking up.
