The water has crept back a little more. I also noticed that the water still on the dock is clear. That's good news, the spring is trying to push out the tannic water.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Park Ranger? This blog will give you a small taste of the responsibilities, the exciting moments, and the awesome views experienced in the park from my perspective. Look back to the archives for a 365 day account of when I was a Park Ranger who promoted to an Assistant Park Manager. Now that the 365 project is complete, I will not post daily, but I will be back to share some exciting moments with you from time to time.

EVEN MORE COLD!
I didn't think it could get any colder. I am in Florida after all. It did. Even with the faucets dripping, the waterline at the barn froze. When I made my drive around the park this morning, I saw that none of the barn faucets were dripping anymore. There was no damage done, when I went back to check in the afternoon, the drip flow had resumed. I turned them all up to more of a steady flow than a drip. I spent another day inside, busying myself with paperwork and printing sunset/sunrise time calendars and any other little inside task I could find. I am really looking forward to Thursday when we are supposed to thaw out again for a day or two. It would also be really nice if one of the parks that I am associated with would do a prescribed burn. I would really enjoy a nice big fire to warm me up. It was another very quiet day at the park and I left as soon as my relief arrived. I don't have much to tell you today, but here are the icy photos that I took this morning. I love the way my new macro lens made the ice crystals look like sugar.

I guess the up side to the cold is the great pictures.
You are right, there are a lot more photo ops of frosty dead plants than there would have been of 60 degree dead plants. LOL
