Beautiful radio

[Guinevere]

I listen to a lot of public radio (surprise surprise), but last night coming home from a late meeting I listened to a show on the hidden worlds of winter that not only was dreamy and beautiful, but made me want to lace up my boots and got for a snowy walk in the woods. The vivid images the participants were able to present, along with the gorgeous sound clips that producer chose, made for one of the most stunning radio shows I've listened to in ages.

Enjoy, it's worth the listen...

Across this continent’s northern tier, scarves and gloves are coming out of storage. Rock salt and shovels are on the porch. The antifreeze, the snow tires are at the ready. For the next few months, folks from Bangor to Buffalo to Bismark will be scowling and moaning about the weather. But outside, chickadees, jays, voles, foxes, squirrels hawks and more will be foraging, hunting. Trees and shrubs will be feeding their buds and flowers already preparing for spring. In the dead of winter, winter is not dead. This hour: Getting right with winter by paying attention to nature.
