When I visited Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge last week, the sky was mostly blue, with patches of clouds to add additional visual interest to the landscape photos that I captured. The first photo shows one of the ponds at the refuge that is fed by the tides of the Potomac River.
In other parts of the refuge, though, the ice covering the waters of the bay on the shore served as a stark reminder that winter is far from over. Today, for example, the temperature is currently 18 degrees (minus 8 degrees C) and it may be even colder tomorrow. Yikes!
