Memory subsystem from a DEC Alpha workstation designed by yours truly back in 1991. Another Digital alum buddy and I are trying to resurrect this beast.

DECEMBER Bears den and hares turn snowy white

"Nights turn sharp and clear, the sky ablaze with stars. Bears and skunks are cozy in their dens, burning fat reserves, while porcupines are courting and mating, leaving their communal dens to gnaw on the inner bark of trees. Turtles and some frogs are buried in mud under ponds. The forest is waiting for snow.

Some years snowy owls show up in large numbers from Canada, resting in open fields, dunes, even on airstrips. Winter finches like pine grosbeaks may push south, too, common in the Northeast one year, absent the next, as they follow good cone crops. A hundred noisy pine siskins might zip around with buzzy chitter-chatter, hanging upside down to pick conifer cones and visiting bird feeders.

Balsam fir’s sloped tiers will pile up with snow, then shed it. Hares will hide under its boughs. The fragrant resin that oozes from the trunk can treat cuts and sores and, during wildfires, also makes trees burst into flames." -Kateri Kosek from The Forest Revealed

December already. The evening grosbeaks are here. Making up for their absence last winter, and emptying the bird feeders. Here's some details and sketches from this month's page in The Forest Revealed. Also, huge thank you to Northern Woodlands Magazine for including the December pages from the book in the new issue! Posters of each month and signed copies of the book are available in my ETSY SHOP. (FYI, if you order the book through Etsy, it comes with a coloring sheet, a bookmark and a pocket magnifying glass)
