Snow Birds

Well yesterday was in the mid-50s all day and short-sleeve weather.  Today is 15 degrees with a windchill of 1 and windy with snow on the ground.  Although I knew it was coming, I still was surprised to see the snow on the ground when I woke up this morning.  One thing I love about snow is how pristine it is.  The mole hills, brown grass, and little imperfections are gone away to a white canvas.  Like when you get a new notebook and are afraid to mark in it and ruin it. 

With all of the snow, though, the birds are out in large numbers.  As I sat on the couch eating my healthy breakfast of homemade chicken noodle soup and Pepsi, I noticed a large number of birds out on the bird feeder.  I grabbed the camera and took a few shots before closing the door and enjoying the warmth before I had to venture back out into the cold.

Here are some of my pictures I took.

Sometimes you wonder how their little feet don't get cold

These flowers were on the front door wreath but froze to the condensation on the door

This is my new desktop background.  I love the little bird.

I took this through a spot I cleared of frost on the front door.  I wish it did not have the purple tint so much.
