Saturday, January 23 – 5:45 AM until 11:00 AM
The first thing I did when I got up was turn on the patio light to see if it was snowing.
This one had the makings of a real blizzard – and I love blizzards.
By daylight, the birds were busy looking for food.
I put a tray of birdseed on a bush just outside a kitchen window, but it didn’t take long before it was covered with snow.
Our crepe myrtle bush looks pretty in the deep snow.
The birds could no longer find seed in the feeders because each one was covered with many inches of snow.
It was difficult to get any work done, because I kept watching the snow and the beauty it was creating.
The snow on the ground multiplied by the hour.
There was very little traffic except vehicles that were opening the road for someone.
More pictures tomorrow.
I don’t mind blizzards if none of my family have to be out driving in them. They’re fun to watch from inside a warm house.
That’s probably why I like them. My office is in our house. 🙂
It definitely was snowing!!! It looks COLD — I’m glad you could stay indoors and keep warm! Those poor birds had a tough time finding food anywhere — was the one jay stealing from the other’s mouth?
I think the one blue jay was feeding the other.
You make me feel sorry for birds. Great photos!
Thanks. I felt sorry for them too, but kept putting birdseed on the tray.
What a thrilling snow to watch from inside a warm home ~ I wouldn’t have gotten any work done either. Great shot of the blue jays ~ so fun to see.
It is difficult to take good bird pictures on a gray, snowy day.
