Our winter seems to have fizzled out already this year. It was short lived, but I enjoyed every snowflake while it was here. Nothing but rain predicted for the next two weeks, so I'm falling back on photos from one of my walks earlier in the season.
Tell me I didn't stumbled across the door to NARNIA!! Hellloooo!
For my birds today, I have this gorgeous Starling with her winter plumage...
my token male Cardinal shot...
Blue Jays just look so beautiful in the falling snow!
Out by the lake, MISSY is still hiding behind a tree. I hope she comes out to visit me someday.
From the balcony, my sweet friend MR CHUBB says hello with those darling eyes of his!
"Oh my gosh, I'm first in line for the buffet! How lucky am I!"
I thought you might enjoy a little update on the baby squirrel that came to me last May and grew up on my balcony. Here is our little buddy JUNIOR, who still hangs around when he gets a craving for peanut butter! Oh how I miss this little dude!
For my macro today, a pine needle totally encased in ice. So cool!!
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
Wonderful card, that would brighten someone's birthday. Great photos, too. we have no snow just now only frost. Hugs, Valerie

One of the thing I love the most about your work is all the lovely layers of distressed paper. This card is so beautiful, and I'm glad for the detail shots as I would have missed the burlap, the gorgeous resin frame, the delicate skeleton leaves...they all come together like the notes of a symphony. Really inspiring!
