Sunday

While driving through a neighboring town last week, at a stop light I noticed this kitty sitting in the window of this apartment. I'm wondering if it wants outside.

The local ski resort Peek-n-Peak, is excited for all this snow. They still make some of their own.

It makes for some cool pictures on the slopes.

Also on the tree branches at the top of the ride.

At the bottom of the hill, this stream is nearly frozen. Guess what? The temps near mid week might reach 50 deg. Can you believe it?
Have a super rest of the week.

Weekend Reflections

Here it is the weekend, and I have posted this cutie before, but with all the crazy weather we've had lately, I just haven't seen any reflections.

Skywatch Friday

This was the sky a few days ago in the late afternoon. With all the crazy weather we've had, one never knows what to expect from day to day.

It really was a pretty day with temps in the 50's, but later in the evening rain moved in, and now we have 8" of snow on the ground and a temp of 10 deg.

More snow coming for tonight, and at least the ski slopes are happy.

It's Thursday

Is this really January? Yep complete with Crocus emerging in my flower bed.. What they really don't know winter has a long ways to go yet.,,,

For sure winter is here, with extra Cardinals around.It's not difficult to spot them in the woods..

A closer view and you have to admit they are spectacular.
Have a great rest of the week.

World Bird Wednesday

Just another couple pictures of the ever present Ring-billed gulls.
I like to practice the inflight shots.

Hope everybody is having a great week. Today heavy rain, 50 deg., high winds, and now 30 deg, and snow! How crazy can it get.

Just another Tuesday

Well, the snow arrived with a vengeance all 14" of it, and we had a beautiful day yesterday, lasting until noon time today, then the clouds rolled in and now it's raining. Yesterday we had -11 deg early in the morning, and this afternoon 36 deg. What a crazy winter. More snow coming Wednesday.
  Here are a couple shots of our granddaughter Jalyn and her snowman/lady. It's so cute, just like her!

Finally she added gloves, and it was complete.

Keeping a watchful eye on the entire project was Fuzzy. She just loves the snow, and would much rather stay outside. She's a tough old girl, once beating up on a big English Mastiff that strayed too close, but hates thunder and gunshots, and then she'll run and hide!
I hope things are going well for everyone. Have a great rest of the week!

Macro Monday

Even though I've posted this picture on our other Blog Woodynook View Egg Farm, I thought I'd show a close-up of my favorite egg color. This egg is layed by a Copper Maran. Their eggs are a very dark brown and have a variety of black spots.
