White-crowned Sparrow


"Interest in the changing seasons is a much happier state of mind than being hopelessly in love with spring."
- George Santayana

Oh but I AM hopelessly in love with Spring, Summer and Fall ....
Winter not so much!
But it does give me an opportunity to capture birds in the snow.

Winter Morning Along The Road


 I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." 
- Lewis Carroll

We had the BEST kind of snow last week - 
it stuck to the trees but not to the road :)
This was the day after our snow - and it was still clinging beautifully
to the trees.
