During my morning practice session I was able to play a high concert C# comfortably enough to work on a Sonata by Norwegian composer Wolfgang Plagge. I've been wanting to play it for some time, but have had to put it off because of its high notes. I was also able to reach a high F on the A piccolo...and I'll take every small victory on that temperamental little beast that I can!
Also, NU fall-quarter grades were finally posted, and I was thrilled to see that by some miracle I managed to maintain my cumulative 4.0.
Whew!
To celebrate--and because it was a surprisingly beautiful day--Rob and I drove over to the Cornell Ornithology Lab's Sapsucker Woods for a relaxing breath of fresh air. While wandering the grounds I took these photos...
All the ponds there were frozen and in some areas were dusted over with flakes of snow...
Photogenic air bubbles...
With all the leaves gone it was easy to pick out bird nests...
Icy silvered leaves...
Just WOW!!! Victories and successes for you are some of the best times of my life! Thanks for sharing and thanks for being there for me . ENJOY !
