Lovely, lucky you because spring is definitely not on its way on my side of the world. We still have snow on the ground and expecting a bit more tomorrow ?
Boss photos you've taken

Took these pics yesterday morning from the campus of the college where I work. While I’m happy to still working from home I sure miss appreciating this view more often.
Thanks Sassy 
The usual is cos they're not around much (insects) in winter...

Took this picture the other day while on a family hike in our neighbourhood. Probably the first time it’s been frozen over in years

Not really boss photos, but a couple of cute pics of our cat chilling out among my daughter’s stuffies lol
It was 5°c outside but it felt closer to zero as the after-midnight air was whipped up by a more than modest wind... Meant only a short hunt in the darkness, and 3 subjects found.
First a midge (or garden gnat) sheltering underneath the fence lateral bar keeping out of the wind as best it could... Then on a nearby concrete post between two fence panels I found another overwintering ladybird... And finally one of my resident Steatoda bipuncta (rabbit-hutch) spiders which don't seem to mind the temperatures at all...

If anyone has gone outdoors today you'll know how windy and cold it is. I went into the garden to put the food scraps into the recycle bin in a shirt and cardigan when I spotted this springtail. Took some pics, but it was too cold and windy to hold the camera steadily, so not not quite where I would like the focus to be, but they'll do for now...

In the first fortnight of February, I got a nice surprise when I went hunting around the garden looking for springtails (found one, hard to get though as usual...)
Anyway, I was instead delighted to discover a bonus visitor - which I assume, as it was on the door of the recycling bin, that it went back into after I took a few photos (I went back to the computer to upload and check them - and when I went back out it had disappeared...)
We do have a very small pond but that is 4 metres away from where I found this wonderful smooth newt, and is the first one I have seen in my garden for many years!
I offered it a worm to see if it might be tempted to have a snack, but the worm went its own merry way...

It's full of leaves at the moment, but there are hundreds - probably thousands of them little red tubifex worms waggling around in there.
