Week 6: February 5 - February 11

Some themes begin to emerge by week 6.  Dogs are still my "staple" photo but my front garden crocuses are beginning to bloom and I am desperate for the color and hope they provide.  By this time of the winter, the deer and elk are shaggy, skinny and tired.  Owls are out and about a bit more and the bunnies are still plentiful.  Another sign of spring to come are the signing house finches!  So while during some years there is still lots of snow on the ground, there is hope!
