COLD WINTER SCENE • Even though Burraston's Ponds never freeze, the water doesn't look inviting in spite of the bright sunny sky. The weather man is calling for some snow flurries today, but more of the cold snowless days for the rest of the week. Our photographer spotted a Bald Eagle near the pond on Tuesday, but the eagle was faster that the photographer. Maybe next time.
