Catharsis

 I've been playing with getting the excellent allsky software working. Tonight, it captured the image below. I've tweaked the contrast and saturation a bit, but there's definitely some colour there. It's captured some more nice images since, including a good meteor:

 I came across these tufts of hair while patrolling the yard. They seem rabbity, or non-domestic cat. I did see some rabbit tracks a few days ago, when we still had snow. Whatever they're from, I don't think said beast was having a good time. No signs of bloodshed nearby, though. Update:  I've had a few fellows opine that this is deer hair. A couple are hunters and have personal close-up experience. We had a pretty good windstorm yesterday. This root mass looks freshly lifted. Nice reflection of the dangling bit of ice: I believe this black spruce is freshly fallen. I did hear a big crack when the wind was howling. Life goes on:
