Ice Sculptures

I have a few left over icy pictures to share...


Interesting ice sculpture capturing the blue sky in the icicles.









It was tough trying to capture the fog rising along the ice covered tree line.




This starling was huddled behind a bush trying to stay out of the wind and conserving energy.




This deer used this bushy tree for cover.

Today is supposed to warm up to over 50 degrees. Flooding is a great concern, with rivers frozen over and no place for the melt to go.

Backyard Feeder Friends

I thought I would do a post about my own backyard birds. I have plenty of feeders and occasionally take some shots thru my kitchen window. (The window is open and the screen is removed.)


This shot was taken from my garage as I was walking back to the deck and noticed the menagerie of buffet grazers. I wonder what they talk about-Hillary or Obama?







My first ever visit from an Indigo Bunting. It's been around for 5 days so far, so I hope it plans to stay...





Who can resist a cardinal? It likes to come in the early evening hours, along with his girlfriend.





The White-crowned Sparrow is really good for seed clean up. Doesn't it look like he is wearing a bike helmet?
