Starting around 9:30 AM, it snowed for about 4 hours today. After the snow stopped in early afternoon, I took a walk in Brightwood Park. To my surprise, on the pond the thin layer of ice formed last night formed a large area of jigsaw puzzle. There were also areas with holes on ice in shapes like stars or more like neuronal cells in the pictorial illustrations of biology textbook. In one place the holes lined up to form an arch. Geese flying by appeared to appreciate the beautiful pattern on the pond, and restrained from landing to disrupt it. In addition to the jigsaw puzzle games on the pond, there are photos of a downy woodpecker and a red-bellied woodpecker having their lunch. The two birds behaved like gentlemen. The red-bellied waited till the downy finished, and came to the same table to enjoy the food. There seemed to be plenty of good stuff, that the second one got stains on the beak while eating.
