Marty’s photo of the day #4168: Yesterday, we got about seven inches of snow. That meant work for me and play for Nellie. I think winter is Nellie’s favorite season.

Marty’s photo of the day #4159: This is an apostlebird, named for its propensity to congregate in flocks of twelve. (Photographed in Queensland, Australia)
