January is here finally - hope it was worth the wait!
Skipped December
didn't I, well here we go
starting another year!
Happy New Year from our house to yours!
Recent cold weather and snow has created some interesting photo opportunities.
Above is the reflection of my studio window in a Christmas ornament.
Below is one of our many outdoor gargoyles pecking out from a pile of snow.
We have been busy trying to keep the food in the hummingbird feeders liquid: two feeders rotated, one out for the birds the other in to thaw....
We seem to have three Anna's hummingbirds taking advantage of the feeders at the moment.
Lunch time at ours?
Below a ministry of silly walks clock.
Some cold but beautiful weather and a walk at Vanier Park Park provided these photo opportunities:
Hooded Merganser with a crab above, drops it below....
Where is it? Oh good found it.
He rotates it a few times before swallowing it.
Female Merganser below is much more efficient about the process:
Dive and catch.
Swallow.
