Oh, great picture
Bright spots in the snow…
Thank you, Robin. It’s cool to see the bright leaves shining beneath the snow (although I could definitely do without all the broken limbs!)as I travel the neighborhood.
Isn’t it nice having today’s sunshine?
That looks so pretty. Lah de dah, I’m just going to pretend the birds and branches are decorations on a cake and that white stuff is icing sugar.
Methinks you’re not too keen on getting snow right now. Am I correct? If so, I wholeheartedly support your preference for icing sugar.
Methinks you’re correct.
How cool is it, that you’re able to catch a bird mid-flight? And that you’ve also captured a flock of birds, whose attentions seem attuned to the same thing as yours? I’m seeing lots of metaphors….
(It’s like a postcard, really. Almost makes me wanna be right there, enjoying the wintry scene firsthand. Almost, but not quite. I’m such a weather weenie.)
The funny thing is this little tableau wasn’t the focus. I was shooting toward the feeder because of all the flying in and out, but after snapping tons of photos I sat down to look at them and found all sorts of stuff going on over to the side. It’s a bit like Where’s Waldo with all these pics.
I understand the weather weenie mentality; I felt like one yesterday, too.
I heard your lovely state was getting snow. I love the white snow on the fiery-colored leaves.
The snow on the autumn leaves is lovely but the bad thing is all the leaves held lots of snow and ice, and there are many downed limbs right now. I went out and knocked snow as best I could but some of my lilacs and spirea bushes are damaged.
Let’s focus on the pretty, shall we?
What a fantastic photo, Tracy! You are quite the photographer.
And snow already. Wow! I was thinking of you yesterday because my sister was changing planes in Denver and I wondered if the snow was causing problems in the area.
Thank you, Lorraine. I took a gazillion shots yesterday and had great fun looking through the leaves to see what was there.
I don’t know for sure but bet your sister had some delay in her travels because it was pretty messy here. The sun is out now, though. Hooray!
