We haven't had any new snow, but that's ok, I'm still riding the high from the dumping we had last weekend. I took enough shots to last the rest of the winter!!! My landscape photos today are from out on the trail leading to Lake Wabukayne.

"All this snow has me completely turned around! I need to get my head on straight!"

GET IT?!?! lol

And in the 'Bobbing-for-Peanuts' category, the gold medal goes to the male Cardinal, scoring a solid 9.0 for his full body technique!

"I totally get that you have free peanuts lady, but here's the thing. It's cold down there!"

~Crazy Karen~

"Sshhhh, I'm in stealth mode. I'm hoping the human won't see me. She always wants me to smile for the camera!" 

~Mistro~

"If you don't mind Ma'am, I'm gonna rest here on this stump until my fingers defrost, then I'll gladly take a peanut!"

For my macro today, I went back to November when we had our first slushy snowfall...

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.

Well that 10 cm of snow we were supposed to get on Saturday, actually ended up coming on Sunday. It was really amazing, and I spent several hours outside taking photos. It has mostly melted now, but I sure did enjoy our snow day while it lasted!! 

 

In honour of the special day today, I thought I would include these two lovebird Starlings...

and, this obviously married couple of Sparrows...

"What did you just say to me!!!"

A sweet Chickadee waiting for me to pull out my bag of goodies...

and a female Sparrow watching as I feed the other birds. I think she's sizing me up!

You all know my best bud Crazy Karen. She is smart and fast and quite the funny girl. She hangs from the screen, eats from my hand and smiles to say thank you. She's been visiting me since I moved here and she's the only one left of my original squirrel visitors. She has a hard life and so I dedicate this post to her health and well being...

~Crazy Karen~

"Go ahead, snow all you want! You're not going to stop me from eating my walnut!" 

~Busty Bertha~ (who is actually a boy, oops)

"I'm just going to pretend I DON'T see this snow falling right now!" 

~Rocky~

"My Mother always warned me that my face would freeze like that!!"

For my macro today, a branch with some ice and snow. Oh how pretty is winter time!

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.

❤❤ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! ❤❤

As I write this post, it is actually snowing outside! They are predicting 8-10 cm of the fluffy white stuff and I could not be happier!! If it's still around in the morning, I will be getting some brand new snowy photos, YAY!! Until then, I am still sharing photos from my trip up north and when we had the snow last month.

Blue Jay:

Anyone up for a good ole game of 'Bobbing-for-Peanuts'?

A Chickadee and a Red Breasted Nuthatch...

"INNNNCOMMMMINNNNG!!"

a female Cardinal...

PERFECT PATTI:

"Pardon me, peanut lady, but do you take credit?"

One of the Twins (BEN / MATT):

"It's coming. I can smell it in the air. A storm is coming!"

One of my lake friends:

"Hmmm, this is confusing. I've never been taller than the peanut lady before!"

For my macro today, a snowy leaf in the morning sun...

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.
