Sunset
Yesterday was a glorious day. The temperature got up to 70 degrees and it was full of sunshine. This was the sunset that we got to enjoy.

Snow Geese
Glen and I ventured out to our city lake Sunday. There was a huge flock of snow geese circling the lake before coming in for a landing.
Winter Casualty
Last week it finally warmed up and everything started to thaw. Went for a short walk and found this poor little box turtle that had been frozen in a pond.
Washed Out
Glen went out hiking with a friend and took some pictures of an unfortunate tree facing adversity. It was rooted into the dike of a pond, and as you can see, the pond washed out under the tree.
Brown Thrasher
This is one of the many birds that visited during the snow and extreme cold weather. This is a Brown Thrasher, which is in the same family as Mockingbirds.
Suet, it does a body good
Here are some more pictures that Glen was able to get. That same elusive red bellied woodpecker posed nicely for him.
Eluding Me
I was on the evening shift during our latest snow/super cold event so I had mornings to sit and drink my coffee, (decaf 😦 ), and bird watch. There was a red bellied woodpecker that would show up everyday, and as soon as I would get the camera focused in, it would take off. I was never able to get its picture. Glen, on the other hand, snapped these…….this bird is totally not playing fair.
Not Just Squirrel Food
Since we got a bunch of snow and the temperatures are beyond cold, we have had a bunch of ravenous blue jays in our front yard. They are on the constant hunt for acorns.
The search….
You’re all mine now acorn….
nom nom nom nom…..
Do I have snow on my beak?
Affected by Snow
Lucy: I love snow….it is awesome!
Petey: I am getting too old. It is just too cold out here.
Lilly: I love that all the little birdies are so much more active when it snows.
However, watching those birdies sure does wear a kitty out.
