After yesterday's post this one probably isn't near as exciting but we had our first sighting of an American Goldfinch today! Isn't she a beauty?!
The ice and wind did not deter her from finding the feeder. My son captured the only clear and focused shot. All the rest focused on the rain hitting the window.
I did get some pretty cool shots of the ice earlier this morning. Some neighbors down the road a bit have a small vineyard and the ice was so frosty looking on the rows. Maybe I should have tried for a panorama shot?
I boosted these next ones so the cows could be seen better but I was intentionally focusing on the holly bush and ice.
And then the fence...
I really like this next one of a couple of my daffodils getting ready to bloom...
How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

ReplyDeleteIce is so beautiful, but such a pain! Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteThankfully there are kindhearted souls who feed the little birds...

ReplyDeleteI am hoping the ice doesn't hurt the daffodils! I feel like spring is so far away...*sigh*

Looks like you are having the same weather we are. (FF)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I am OK without you focusing on the cows they were probably not covered with beautiful ice:) B
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Love the icy flower buds (though the flower buds probably aren't loving it!) and the goldfinch!
