A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood


On Friday we awoke to snow -- two inches and a bit...

Enough to be pretty without being troublesome...

I spent a lot of time taking pictures of birds -- through slightly foggy windows ...

Cardinals...

Purple finches...goldfinches...

Too cold to stay outside for sharper pictures...

We had lots of customers at the buffet on the railing...

I couldn't stop taking pictures...

There'll be more tomorrow.

Such beautiful photos, your place looks as though a Narnia enchantment has been placed on it! How I envy you your beautiful Cardinals, we don't have them out west...thank you for posting photos of them.

I don't know if I would like to live where you live :-) but you have such views that sometimes I think I would give it a try! What a treat with this cardinal with such a background!

I thought of Narnia too, Victoria. It was 18 when we went to bed...

My favorite winter photos, cardinals in the snow!! Just gorgeous. I wish I could get those kinds of shots!

Beautiful. The best thing about snow is that it brings the birds to the feeders in large numbers.
