Leftovers on a New Year's day.....

Well, most people start the New Year with something new and lots of resolutions. I've never been good at resolutions and the only photos I have are leftovers that I found on the older camera....some from before Christmas and our snow! I have a couple shots of the Red Bellied Woodpecker female for a change!
She seems a bit more jumpy and I had to be really quiet. Good thing we replaced the glass in the sliding glass doors, or this shot would be a blur.

The Downy woodpecker male.

I can't believe how much faster the shots from the old camera load into my blog. I may have to start using that one more often at home where the birds are close.

A House Finch male giving me a glare. Finches tend to just settle down and eat and ignore everything around them, unlike some of the birds that are in and out every few seconds or the ones that are so jumpy they fly if they catch a glimpse of you.

A Cardinal checking the ground around the pole....obviously before we had snow.

Blue Jay with peanut....after snow.

This isn't mine. A friend got this from her nephew and asked me take a photo. It is the biggest poinsettia I have ever seen! Obviously several years old and trained to be a tree. When my friend, who is about 5'2" stands by it she isn't a lot taller (of course it is on a low table...but still!)

Anyway....a brand New Year is here and I guess I had better resolve to get outside and take some photos for my blog. That's a resolution I can probably manage to keep :-)
