With so much snow on the ground, everyone stops by the bird feeders to check out the offers.

Little red squirrel stopped by this am for a morning protein breakfast of sunflower seeds.  Didn’t stay too long… just long enough to fill his belly then back to the tree tops and the warmth of the sun later in the day.

Silhouettes against the sky. Blurred line between the landscape and the heavens.

A winter wonderland with a freshed coat of snow……………aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Walking through the quiet fields, I found these two birdnests in the uncut grass at field’s edge.  They have been empty since mid summer and will not be used again.  I find my mind looking forward, to the other side of winter, with the promise of new families and spring song.
