More Snow & Birds

Well , our winter may have started out late and only in the past two and half weeks of snow we have had on the ground so far but boy it has been making up for its late arrival for sure ,with two major snow storms in a short time now under our belts and I cant believe we are at the end of January already either . I must say even as late as our winter arrived I am looking forward to the arrival of spring and the spring forward of clocks to in March seems like some of us are just biding our time till then I know I am lol .

It has been quiet here mostly for us , Papa at work weekdays and Miggs and I just putter about and try to pop outside every now and then for some fresh air and a change of scenery or to do a bit of shoveling till Papa can snow blow or filling feeders . Talking about feeders they have been the hub of the yard as birds flit to and fro between the feeders and the cedar hedges . Sometimes it can get very noisy with the amount of birds that horde the feeding area , why one day I counted or at least tryed to count as they all moved about 60 birds and all different species , I can sometimes hear the sound of them all together swoosh back and forth as they all take off together and return a few minuets later .

  I just looked out the window of my computer room as I am typing this and .. it is snowing again 🤨,

    Oh well it is winter time and we did have it start later in the season so I guess I shouldn't complain lol.
                                    On wards and upwards only 50 days till Spring  WOOHOO !
             
                                                                  Until next time .

Some Winter Blah To Winter Awe

It is the time of year where some of us are looking for the sun and mild temps with in these gloomy dreary winter days . We had very mild temps yesterday and lots of rain  , then over night it all froze and we had some snow fall . This morning it was all frozen to everything . When I look out the window at the continuing white it doesn't seem very appealing but when I am able to get out there and take a closer look WOW ! winter looks soo pretty and I can find some color and textures under the blanket of ice and snow  I just have to really look for it .

                             I love how some colours just pop out from under the snow .

                               How the snow gently sits on the tiniest seeds of grasses .

                              The little drops of rain frozen half way down the grass seed.

 I love the smell of cedar with a fresh blanket of snow , its like the cold brings out the smell more .

              
              Contrast and textures lines with icy snow make for very interesting photos .

  The good thing is there is lots of magical sights under the blanket of snow and once I find them I am in awe of it all over again .
                       
                           I also am in awe of this pretty little bud of my Lilac bush .

                                  Possibly a sign of  an early spring in the air already ?!

                    Oh yes and I cant forget the most awe of all here  who we all love
