Happy Groundhog Day

Uploaded: February 02, 2012

Description


I figured if the Groundhog can look for his shadow so can I :-) Leena and I went down to the creek behind our home late Sunday afternoon - I thought a fun one for today would be good to have!

HOT SHOT ;o0 Really a beauty and the pair of Steaks on the ridge are a fantastic plus.
If the winter stays as mild as its been I think folks would settle for a few more weeks as long as SNOW is not involved.

Beautiful vibrant colour here, waiting for your winter to subside, Jeff! Silhouettes work a real treat! #9960367

Michelle Alton February 02, 2012

It's a beautiful capture Jeff. But here's the thing: Neither you, nor Leena, nor the COWS are GROUND HOGS! So, of course, the predictive powers are void!
