We took a drive today not far from the house around Findley Lake. They have more snow than we do, and it's only 5 miles away, but secluded in between hills..
Along side of the road was a huge flock of Starlings. I love how they all take off at the same time and all fly in the same pattern.
Swinging by the ski resort the snowboard trails were busy.
We waited for a while but no one came by the big jump.
Back at Findley Lake some of the cottages are completely snowbound..
There are snow covered shrubs outside of a lodge.
How about some serious icicles.
We had a beautiful day Wednesday. A rare one indeed, although it didn't get very warm, it was warm enough to melt some snow. You can just feel the added heat from the sun now. I also heard a Spring song from a Cardinal yesterday. We must be patient a little longer. We have to get by St. Patrick's day you know, and then we're home free!

Wonderful photos, love the icicles! Great photos of the Cooper Hawk.
I'm so jealous that you could see a coopers hawk out your window!
Still looks a LOT like winter there, Becky. I bet there will be a BIG melt this weekend with the temperatures going up for a few days. About time, I say. ;-)
Glad you had a lovely day. It's amazing how fast snow can melt away when te sun comes out. I hope it doesn't melt too, too fast, that's all. Spring sure is on the way here. I do hope for the plants and birds sake that winter doesn't take another kick at the can.
SOme days I would love to spend time in a snow bound cottage like that.Wow,those are some serious icicles.We too are having milder days and seeing the snow slow;y shrink,yeah.
Blessings,Ruth
Wow...those icicles look like real killers! Love the hawk shot! I suppose it isn't nice to always hope they get a House Sparrow if they have to kill a bird. The snowboarders are probably inspired by the Olympics. It was one of my favorite parts to watch.
You always take the most beautiful and clear pictures. I am tired of the snow but it does make for pretty photos. Have a nice weekend.
I love this set of photos. The birds are fantastic — I have never seen a Cooper's Hawk yet and I should have. And I never tire of snow photos, even tho I have had about enough now.
Super shots!
