A day at the Refuge
Today I spent the whole day at the refuge. It was a nice long, relaxing day of hiking and taking pictures and I got some great shots. First of Sandhill Cranes breaking camp at their roost in the morning, then of some ducks and geese and a passing train on a hike around a big marsh. Later I got some great shots of Northern Harriers hunting in the brush along the road and some close shots of a Cooper's Hawk perched in a snag. Lucky me I got to top it all off with my first glimpse of the local elk herd on my way back to the pond for some shots of the Sandhill Cranes returning to the roost. Nice day.

As My Breathing Evened Out
As my breathing evened out, I began to notice other sensations. The water felt different from any other water I'd ever swum in, as if it were more solid than fluid, as though I were swimming through a liquid Sno-Kone. [swimming in 33 degree water / 34 degree air]
