This Morning Outside

A crow trio frequents a snowy field near where I live. I think they're the same crows every day, because one has a few white feathers, symmetrically arranged on both wings.

I've always wanted to get to know a crow. Now that I'm able to recognize it individually, I feel as if the pied-winged one is a personal friend.

The Brilliant Lightweight

Swarovision 32Once in a while, everything comes together to make a perfect product.

We think it's happened with Swarovski's new EL 32mm Swarovision binocular.

Weighing only 20 ounces, with unimaginably bright, clear optics, and working splendidly even for glasses wearers, we deem this — well, perfect.

If you can afford to treat yourself to the good stuff, this is good stuff.
