Crimmins photo project
Nature's Zero

Zilch. Zip. Goose egg.
A couple of quick items... My day started with a brisk stroll through the waist-deep murky waters of a pond/swamp so that I could return some goose eggs to their island nest. I don't want to point any accusing paws at anyone so I'll leave it at that.
Next up -- I have chosen Flickr as the site for the photo project. To join you need to sign up with Yahoo. The Flickr site walks you through it. Please remember to pass up all the swell chances they give you to get surveyed and sold when you set up your preferences. I was hoping to find a smaller, less corporate service but nothing seemed right. So we'll start on Flickr and take it from there. My ID on Flickr is "barry crimmins." This afternoon I'm going out to take some photos of the area near our home. I hope you're getting out and getting some good shots as well.
I'd love to see the photos my friend Greg S mentioned as well as some shots of Northern NYS by our Canadian comrades and, come to think of it, everything everyone has suggested this fare. So have at it!
That's it for now. If you see Joe Scarborough please beat him to death with Lou Dobbs' decapitated head. Just kidding, Sort of.

Looks like rain this weekend so I doubt I'll get to any yard work so I should be abel to do a little cruising of Main Streets.
As for Scarborough, can't we just stick dobb's head in his bed?

Someone looks like a guilty doggie!
Thanks Barry, for everything you do.
If I can figure out the links and all I'll post some rural (and not so rural) Maine digital shots.
Just one quick, off-topic story.
In this record winter, where we lost so many deer, owls and other, smaller, critters, I saw an albino yearling (not much bigger than a fawn really) for the first time in my 50 years on this rock.
Showed up at the site where I feed the birds and began eating the dove's seed. It was soon joined by 3-4 other, bigger regulars. At the worst of the seasonal weather (we got 134" last I heard) I was going through 2 40lb. bags of seed a week.
(I've heard all the aguments, both pro and con, about allowing Nature to take it's course. I'll subscibe to that when wolves return to these parts as the top predator. Until that time....)
The albino seemed to grow spots of brown fur as the days lengthened. When the snow got down to a few mere inches in the back woods they stopped showing up. Returning to the safety of the inner woods as the spring thaw commences in earnest I gather.
A sign?
