It's officially winter today, and that's a good thing. The days start growing longer, the winter birds frequent my feeders, and the landscape is covered in a white mantle of snow.Yesterday's storm brought over a foot of new snow, so Molly and I set out early with the camera and got some shots for you.
As you can see, the nutcracker finally made it to the front porch after spending several days in the front hallway.
Molly and I decided to take another snowshoeing jaunt into the woods this morning. It was beautiful and peaceful in there. We came across a fresh deer trail, so perhaps we were being watched from a distance.
We passed the fairy house again and noticed signs of activity. Do you see the little fairy footprints leading to their front door? I guess they set out early, too, to check out the beautiful landscape.
The cardinal photo is fantastic. So colorful. Be careful, snowshoeing is addictive and you may have to do it everyday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cardinal!! I wish I had them at my feeders!
ReplyDeleteWe never saw a cardinal at our old house, Margaret, but up here on the hill we see them year-round. At the old house we were surrounded by pines; here it's mainly oaks. Maybe that makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed the stroll outside, what a beautiful cardinal-love his/her coloring.
ReplyDeleteI love that nutcracker out front. It's huge and so much fun to see.
ReplyDeleteThe cardinal adds such a colorful contrast to the winter white.
