Birds in the Snow

Post by nanny_56 »

We got a little bit of snow over night and it made everything look so pretty. :snow: But it is colder than heck with that wind blowing! :evil:

Anyway, I got these photos this morning. The last one is looking out my front window across the road. Hope you enjoy!

What sharp pictures of the birds. :D

Yesterday I glanced out the window and saw an owl :o perched atop my leaf mold pile. My camera was 10' away but by the time I grabbed it, he was gone. :( Where??? First owl I've seen in my entire life.

Charla, You think I'm gonna go out there and freeze???
Seriously, all my pics have been taken through the window. I really ought to clean them soon, and the patio door.

What great pictures! I just love the cardinals in the winter! And the picture under the "icy umbrella" is cool!
