Birds Birds Birds in the Snow!

Well first let me say sorry about not posting an update the past few months.  No real excuse other than being lazy and forgetting to.  It's September now, and fall is slowly inching closer.  Then winter.   My two favorite seasons.   So to celebrate here are some birds in the snow pictures from
February 2015, with a bonus picture!

So first up are two pictures some male cardinals.

Now for some female cardinals.  Hanging out under a eastern red cedar tree in my backyard.

 

 Last of the bird picture is a white crowned sparrow and a female cardinal in snow.

BONUS PICTURE!!!!

Hey who is that eating some of the bird seed in my yard!?  It's one of my dogs Star.  She apparently thought she was a bird.

Calling all birds, we have a meeting today int he snow!! January 2011

     I really enjoy this picture. Was taken during January of 2011.  Quite a few birds hanging out on a nice cold snowy day.

Ice Storm January 2006

So in January 2006 we had an ice storm. The eletric company out here hardly does anything to 

maintain lines and such anyway. So when this ice storm came we ended up being without power for about two weeks. 

 I did manage to take a few pictures of some of the ice though. Granted there are places that get much worse than this.  At the time I was hardly thinking much about taking pictures outside of damage purposes.  I did though snap a few that were not about damages, and here they are. 

  So this first picture is just showing one of the many tree's who top ended up breaking due to the weight.

 It was kinda pretty overall, but also a very pointy land full of ice cycles .

This one above is the road to my house.  What you can't see is behind me was a power line down across the road.  I don't feel there is any need to really show that on here.

At the time though for the first few days after the ice storm.  Any time the sun would come out, everything would sparkle like crazy.  It was quite an interesting sight.
