Saturday Critters / I'd Rather Be Birdin' |
February 20, 2021
Cold Days are for the Birds
We still have snow on the ground and temperatures tonight are well below
freezing. During the day they crept up over the freezing point and we had a
little bit of thawing.
Snow gives pictures a simpler look that can be elegant. It can fool the
camera's controls though. Some of my cell phone pictures have a blue cast. I
decided to brighten this first shot and make it
black and white.
Sometimes "happy little accidents" make fun pictures. This sparrow was
perched on a branch when I pressed the button.
I found Renard sitting in the snow. He's the fox statue that we brought back from the house we sold in Bryce Resort.
Since I mentioned geese and ducks, allow me to switch back to a "real" camera for two photos of them. The geese are marching across my yard.

ReplyDeleteLovely series, I like the shot of the geese marching across the yard. Pretty capture of the sparrow in flight. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day! I wish you a happy new week ahead! PS, thank you for the comment.
Great! Love 'em all each and every photo. BUT I have a favorite, naturally. And, that is the marching ducks!Enjoy your week ahead, and thanks for taking time to link in.
ReplyDeleteI love "happy little accidents". It creates often photos you remember :) My second favorite today is the march in the snow.
ReplyDeletetake care!
We too have lots of snow and the birds eagerly flock to the feeders at first light. I am glad they choose our backyard for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteLovely series, and that sparrow is a perfect shot ;) Your black and white id very attractive.

ReplyDelete...we have had a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots...I love the sparrow taking off "accidental" and the one of footprints suddenly stopping with the wing prints, but I admit I wouldn't have recognized the fox without your telling me who it was.
ReplyDeleteWe love them all, especially the marching geese, the "happy accident" and the black and white one.
ReplyDeleteSome great photos, I love those bird tracks!
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots! I love the geese following in the line. The bird tracks tell you that you have some visitors. :)
ReplyDeleteThe geese and duck are good company to have around.
