             To us city living folks  - you are fortunate to be so close to
nature and to experience changes in weather, fauna and flora.

              Thanks for posting these pictures.

              Joseph Low

Subject: [Leica] Meanwhile ... back at the farm

I live on the outskirts ... the outskirts of the forest and the outskirts
of Göteborg. Göteborg is Sweden's second largest city (not particularly
big, makes St. Louis look like an exploding metropolis) but I can get
downtown in 14 minutes. I can get to a forest preserve in less.

Came down the steps yesterday and saw this in my backyard:

I feed the birds ... sloppily ... I throw out seeds all over the place.
Different birds tend to fight with each other, so I like to give them some
space. Come summer, I find all kinds of things growing in my yard:

It's pretty cold here now (-18C) and that brings in the riff-raff. In the
spring this one and I will be at war again. They eat up my first flowers:

But under present (cold) conditions, we're at a truce and they eat up the
seeds that the birds can't; the ones that get frozen into the snow. These
guys can paw it out.
