Contrasts of the Season

We noted the death of a couple of Canada Geese down at Patersquash Creek.  The bodies were still lying on the ice when I took this picture.  By now the ice has melted back and the carcasses will have sink into the water to decompose and feed the shellfish and baitfish and continue through the food chain.



Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity.
  • Hamlet: Act I, scene 2, line 72 - W. Shakespear

Then we drove around to Section 1 Marina and I took this video.   Please forgive my lame video photography and altering skills.



The winter diving ducks were feeding on something that was under the ice.
