Snow ~ Tangerine Peel

Birds ~ Sunrise

Variety of Pictures From the Past Two Weeks

We had a dusting of snow several times since the beginning of December.

Jere and Kristen emailed us a picture of Jesse catching snow with his tongue.

I saw this tangerine peel (or whatever citrus fruit it is) one morning as I passed a neighbors field. I expect someone threw it out a window and it just hit the wire and hung there. They probably couldn’t have done that if they had tried.

It is difficult to keep the bird feeders full right now, because the birds are busy, and it has been so windy.

This house sparrow pair visited on the porch rail one cold morning while the other birds fed on sunflower seeds.

I noticed the pretty sunrise this morning, and decided to get a picture before it changed too much. By the time I came inside and sat down to finish my coffee the clouds had totally covered the sun streaks.

It lasted less than five minutes.
