Snowbow over New Hampshire

While doing some work with the bowsaw this morning, a snowbow was seen from a birch grove.  The day is sunny and cold, so the light creating the rainbow colors passed through really frigid water vapor in the sky.  The snowbow was so neat by itself, but the picture wouldn't be nearly as awesome without the shining birches.


The morning's work included taking down five spring poles:  3 yellow birch, one red oak, and one paper birch.  In addition to some large wood from these unfortunately bent trees, our kindling supply for next season just grew by leaps and bounds!
