Winter Wonders!


We had a beautiful day  yesterday, the temperatures went over 50 and today, back to winter. The birds love snow and my trees were filled with so many birds, I think every bird in the area was here today. Yesterday I counted 21 Mourning doves in one tree and today there were three cardinals.

We woke up to a light snow and it continued most of the day, so this is what my world looked like today. It was hard to get a close up since I had to use a zoom and the falling snow confused my focus. I keep forgetting I can use manual focus.


The Mourning Doves just sit in the trees and stare at me, a bit disconcerting, lol. It is nice to sit on the porch and watch the birds, my time to relax and center myself.

I found some new print outs to try and an idea for making postcards, so hopefully I can make a few tomorrow and have something to show you on wednesday.

Snow has been predicted here but so far...only rain. Certainly there will be no lovely cardinals decorating our trees.

Just checking in to see how you are doing. A storm is headed our way, passing by you. I see it has started. Are you sure that is a Mourning dove and not a cardinal in that tree?

You've been a busy bee, as always your projects are lovely.

Keep well!

Love seeing the birds on the snowy tree limbs. They don't seem to mind the snow at all.

We also had snow on Monday after a mild weekend We have at least 8 inches on the way tonight. There is always a group of 6 mourning doves that hang out around our feeder, but like you, our trees have been full of them this week. I never thought of them as liking snow until you mentioned it

Lovely bird pics! I haven't seen any here, but I haven't been looking either. We're getting yet another storm tonight. Sigh....
