| Bundling up is necessity |
 |
| Because it's cold. |
 |
 |
| The moon is always an interesting subject. |
 |
| If no other life is out there are always coots.
They make interesting silhouettes in the very last light. |
 |
| We love seeing the harrier when he visits Becker
lake. |

don't come out till long after sundown they are really hard to get any
detail. |

including parts of Becker Lake |
 |
| Keep trying though. |
