Lincoln Marsh 2016: February 7, Still Frozen, Red Ribbon Sunset

One of a series of posts documenting the seasonal changes of a prairie marsh in 2016.

Yesterday, Super Bowl Sunday, I popped over to Lincoln Marsh and took some new pics. The weather was very El Niño— warm and sunny and bright. I got there slightly later than I wanted to, so the sun was lower than I wanted, but I think we saw some good things.

I got there just in time for some sun to blaze behind the trees:

Nothing can stop the geese from flying:

I feel for the laggards catching up:

And the movement in pooled water shows temp:

Even though ice is stubborn with rigid memory:

And the log remains on the surface, for now:

We all know the blue turns inky and beats orange.
