A Few More Snowy Scenes

The snow didn't last long! Today temperatures were well above freezing and then in late afternoon, it rained, washing away all but piled-up snow.

I took plenty of pictures while the snow was pretty, though. Birds and small animals stand out nicely, as do plants.

Here we see a robin, a cardinal and woodpecker at a feeder, a purple finch, and a branch that was just outside my window.



The last two pictures show my neighbor's dog. When I looked at thumbnails of these in Adobe Bridge, I wondered why I took them. I didn't see Molly rolling in the snow!

When I looked at larger versions, there she was, having fun. I cropped these so you can see her too.

  1. The snow does make a lovely backdrop. Sweet back yard critters and the dried flower is lovely.

  8. Love the squirrel! And your bird photos are gorgeous. We had heavy snow this morning here in Smithfield - no accumulation, but it sure was pretty while it was snowing.

  12. The critters must be impatient at times for spring!

    I saw the first robins up here since fall over the weekend.
