Well, the forecasts were correct...we had a decent snow storm today; 6+ inches and it's still snowing...
The birds were in an eating frenzy during the storm. 3 male cardinals were competing for the sunflower seed and the attention of one lone female cardinal.
Red is my favorite color. So naturally, my favorite bird is the cardinal. ☺
The cats and I enjoy the birdfeeder...but for completely different reasons. My chocolate lab, Luke, is on constant squirrel patrol. I only have to whisper "squirrel" and he goes crazy. My yellow lab, Josie, sleeps through the whole thing.
I shot through the window, and bokeh flares are from the Christmas tree lights.
About 2 weeks ago we had small snowstorm that ended with a decent icing (1/2"). We lost power for about 15 hours...and when one has a well, that means no running water and! no flushing toilets!
With no electrical distractions, I ventured out with my trusty canon and found some great shots.
