Furry and Feathered Friends

More snow fell and the winds picked up and now
it's feeling like a deep freeze outside. The birds seem
to love it and come for the seeds..
They don't care if the feeder is now flocked with pine and red bows

It seems that Mr. squirrel is standing up and looking for Santa...
the sign does say 'Santa stop here.'

a friend hiding behind the post is asking the same question

'does Santa really stop here?'

While eating seeds that fell from the feeder, Mr. Squirrel
asks Mr. Cardinal is Santa really coming?


Cardinal says... Yep in about 14 days. What do you
want for Christmas Squirrel?
to be continued...

The Snow Brings the Birds....

On Friday I got up early.... just early enough to see the sun
rising through the trees in my neighbor's yards...


I had just hung my new Winter flag and was hoping for
some snow...

Sure enough it started to snow while I was at work and snowed all
day and continued into Saturday.. I was stuck in the house
cleaning and decorating so I snapped a few pictures through
the dining room window.


I decorated the Playhouse on the last warm day...and
also put out some decorations for the bird feeder

It sure didn't take long for a few Blue Jays to show up...


He was ignoring the grapes and eating sunflower seeds

Downy or is it Hairy came for the suet


A Titmouse waits his turn at the feeder... by perching
in the Rose of Sharon bush

And as the day wound down and I had not even left to
take pictures of snow... I looked out and the playhouse
timer set it aglow.

So a productive day in the house...

Some Same-ole Birds...

I saw a RT Hawk in a tree in my travels yesterday and actually
stopped and took the picture. I've been so distracted by life lately
that I haven't even used my camera much.
He was screaming.....

He just sat there for awhile and then flew away.

Mr. Redbelly sitting high up in a tree in my yard.


Always a a squirrel to be found eating the
zillions of walnuts that fall each year

Speaking of nuts....
I caught a nuthatch eating peanuts from the feeder

Sometimes I put seeds where I know the birds will come looking...
Titmouse knows where the stash is

And one of my favorites this time of year... the cute little chickadee


Always good to see a display of our flag...
considering what our country is going through ..
I Thank God for America and freedom..
on any and every day of the week


I'll leave you with Red-bellied Woodpecker
getting a snack from the suet feeder...

And a Blue Jay showing off his pretty blue feathers
on my porch railing

God and All His Glory.....

Lately the sunsets on my way home have been just
spectacular. Last night I made several stops to
capture some of the 'fire in the sky'

And, God made the heavens and the earth.....

I have no idea how one could deny His existence after such a spectacular show

At the top of a hill looking through some left over leaves....


Gazing at a barren tree
Each landscape more interesting than the last..


Talk about fire....it surely did look like it was ablaze

Then as the sun prepared to rest.... darkness came
and an old Hank Williams song came to mind..

Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning.
When with our Saviour heaven's begun.

written by Virgil P. Brock (1936)


This all happened in about ten minutes. It doesn't take
long to see the Glory and Majesty of the Heavens.

Pictures and Possibilities......

Did you ever take a picture for no reason....
let it just sit there in your picture folder....
It has no story, just a picture.... but when you go
back and look at it... there's possibilities after all.
Here are a few pictures with some possibilities....

Dizzy? Is he? or has he broken his neck?



Not a he at all....
It's a female American Goldfinch and she looks up as
if to say.......What?


The blue of the Blue Jay looks good against the
brown of the brown fall leaves...


Two for the price of one.... I was shooting the deer
but got the groundhog too.


The keen eye of the Mockingbird hiding among the berries


click for a close up of this daddy long legs...



A pair of Ring necked Pheasants in a perfect setting...


Red Tail Hawk on a pole... hunting


when it flew away and an opportunity for a BIF opened
up ... I got it!!

A Bald Eagle takes flight...



If you click on this photo of the moon taken out my
living room window... you will see the colored leaves..
Possibilities... and a surprise to me. I was just admiring
the moon...didn't expect to get the fall reflected there.



And last but surely not least....I was on my home from work
when I saw this shot... I drove to a higher destination so I
could take it. This old hymn came to mind...

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior made me whole;
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
