I am going to be blogging and commenting less starting after this Critter post.  I  will be posting just once a week with my Saturday's Critter party.  I just feel the need to slow down and take a break, blogging, commenting and computer time. 

I have some of my yard birds to share, with the weather lately I have not been able to go far from home.

The female Junco looks a little more brownish than the darker male Junco.

The Blue Jays try stuffing in as much as they can into their beaks at one time.

We have had some little snow storms and some icy storms, the first week of February. Below are some Cardinals and White-Throated Sparrows and some Juncos sitting on the deck and plants. 

I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments this past year !

January 13th, we woke up to more snow. Just a enough to cover the ground and deck.

The snow sent the squirrels and birds into a feeding frenzy.

Merry Christmas everyone!

These photo were taken on the same day Dec 14th. It was a snowy morning so I did my walking on the treadmill. I saw a blur go by my window, I was not sure what went by. When I finished my walking I looked out my window to see this hawk below.  I am not sure, but I was told it is a Sharp-shinned Hawk. It was small in size.

My version of Where's Waldo, my Dark-eyed Junco tree. How many can you find?

I was able to zoom in on two of the Dark-eyed Juncos sitting close together.

The Sharp-Shinned Hawk decided the back yard was a better setting for eating his meal.

I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments! I hope you enjoy my post and photos too!

Happy Thankful Thursday,

I have not been anywhere lately except for our walks on our local fire roads and on the local bike trail.  The Super moon photos were taken from my deck. 

I felt sorry for this Dark-eyed Junco, it appears to have a tick stuck to the side of it's face. I hope it fell off. 

November 25th , a scene from our local bike trail. 

A house off the bike trail has a big gnome collection, we enjoy looking at during our walk. 

November 26th, our walk was at the Hemlock Gorge. A nice trail along the stream. 

November 26th,  after leaving the Gorge area we made a quick stop at the top of our lake and the mud flats to look for birds.  

Driving home from our walk at the Hemlock Gorge we passed by this barn. Looks like a drive-thru barn.

For the Skywatchers and moon watchers, here is my almost full moon on Dec 2nd.

The Supermoon on December 3rd.

I hope you enjoyed coming along on my walks. 


I am thankful for peaceful days with nothing special needing to be done. 
I am thankful for the mild days, to enjoy a walk outside.

Winter Wonderland

Happy Monday!
Can you believe we are only a week away from Christmas day? I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season.
We had our first snow on Saturday December 9th. I  was able to enjoy the snow and my backyard birds from my dining room window. It was a winter wonderland.

Snow covered pine trees in our yard.

A Dark-eyed Junco really is a snow bird.
