Another Wonderful Day!

It was foggy when I woke up this morning & -3 degrees.  I could barely see it, but as it got lighter, there it was.  Hoar frost.  So pretty, & it didn't deter the birds from coming for breakfast!
  Mr. Cardinal

How many Blue Jays do you see?

A cute little Junco   : )

A mystery bird!  I think it's a sparrow of some sort.

Several birds in one of the farm trees on our "back 40" (actually our "back 12 or so").  I used the zoom for this.  Can't tell if they're blackbirds or Mourning Doves.  

A closer look using the zoom-zoom   : )   I am thinking they are Mourning Doves.

Mr. Blue Jay finding seeds in one of John's footsteps.  I love how the birds jump into his footsteps & settle down for a meal   : )

Front of property.

A farm tree & a fence line.

It is going to be a bright & sunny day, 32 degrees. The temperatures will continue to climb until next week when we will be in the 60s again.  That will be a sad time, but on the other hand it means we will be closer to listing our house for sale!  As I said a few posts back, we have decided to leave this place.  We have no idea where we will go, but if you have any suggestions, do let me know   : )

Oh Shirlee, you should print that last photo and frame it! You really captured the frost on the tree and the light in the picture is wonderful!

I really enjoy seeing all your snowy pictures, Shirlee. But the last one is simply gorgeous.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Come on out to Phoenix, Shirlee! The weather is gorgeous, the people are friendly, the beach is 6 hours to the west and snow/ski slopes are 2 hours to the north!

Beautiful photography!!

I'd like to suggest Virginia for consideration. :-) It is a lovely place to live. We've got beaches to the east and mountains to the west and the people are friendly.

Such stunning photos Shirlee! I really love the first one. Never seen an actual Cardinal before. Hmmm, places to live. Well, I would suggest here but it's one of the most expensive places to live and we too are thinking of leaving. Anywhere your heart desires I suppose. Pray on it! Hugs!!

Wonderful photos, Shirlee. Good luck with the posting of the house for sale and may I suggest Melbourne (Australia not Florida) although we never get any snow! lol!
