If you've got snow, you may as well take photos...

These are photos that I took last week....some of the birds at home and some drifts of snow along the road where I took my SkyWatch photos last week. I don't normally shoot photos through the vertical blinds, but I knew if I moved closer this female Cardinal would fly away. I had never seen one of the Cardinals show an interest in the peanut butter or suet! I was so surprised that she was trying to bend down and eat the peanut butter off the pine cone. She had a terrible time trying to balance and do this! There were seeds out there, so it wasn't her only choice for food. I guess in cold weather any food looks good!
The Downy is much more efficient at doing this :-)

I wish this was a little lighter, because I like this shot.

A male Bluebird in the tree.....

.....the female Bluebird in the tree later.

The rest of these were along the road last week...when we briefly had sunshine!

A hawk....not sure what kind

Trying some "arty" shots :-)

An interesting fold in the snow.

I couldn't help wondering what caused some of the strange patterns and formations. The work of the wind, I assume.

The snow had a hard textured look.
