In my mind, I can hear the redwing black birds. In four or five months they will return with their wonderful raucous calls, and perch on these cattails.
The Missisquoi River ice jam, caused by the January thaw, happened early before dawn on Wednesday. It wasn't a big thing and I missed the photos. But the jams caused the river to flood the meadows along the banks. 
It was as if the meadows were full of diamonds standing on end, glittering in today's cold sun. The photo above is a blown-up section of the photo below. Please take the time to click and view it full size in a new window.
