As Predicted

The Weather Changed.

Yesterday was so warm I sat on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine. I watched a flock of birds land in a tree. They may have been starlings but I am not sure.

This morning I looked out and viewed a snowy scene. We had strong winds from time to time so the only time I went outside was to get the mail. 

Can you see a flat bird feeder in the black and white photo? I zoomed in on it with my Nikon. A slate-colored junco made itself comfortable in the feeder and was eating black thistle seeds.

  12. Oh those poor daffodils! (That used to happen sometimes to ours in Oregon -- only they were beaten down from rain instead of snow. One year, the very day after they first bloomed. That almost made me cry!) The junco is really pretty adorable sitting there in the middle of all that food!!

  13. Oh ... those poor daffodils.

    At the moment we are enjoying spring-like weather, not sure how long it will last, time will tell!

    All the best Jan
