I actually don’t mind snow, especially when viewed through a picture window from the comfort of my recliner in the living room. Or through the windshield of my car while I’m driving through the park near my house. Sometimes, though, I do manage to poke my nose outside.
What I really love, in addition to the beautiful scenery, are those hardy wildlife friends who stick around for the winter rather than flying south or hibernating out of sight.
Such brave creatures …
For the past several winters, I’ve been photographing them whenever I decide to withstand the elements myself and leave the comfort of my living room or car. It’s definitely worth the trouble. Here are some of my favorites.
Good thing God gave these ducks, geese and little birds some warm feathers and outfitted the squirrels with fur coats. Brrrrr!!











Stunning photos!! Love them and winter. Most people think that’s crazy. We had 50mph wind gusts and sideways snow but it’s so beautiful, how can a person complain? Well, maybe the guys that had to chop up the tree that fell on the phone pole and broke it and took down the internet. π Keep capturing those great shots of special creatures.

We finally got a generator at our house, which means our whole neighborhood is now safe from power outages due to Murphy’s Law in reverse. LOL

Love your photos–and I love snow! We live in central CA, and we have to travel almost two hours to get to it.

Sometimes I think I’d like to live in a place where the temp is 70 degrees year round, but after a while I think I’d get bored. Of course, I could really do without the ice, which we get here from time to time.

You’re right that it gets boring–and over 100 in the summer, where we live. That’s why I also enjoy any rain–and I love walking in the fog, too.
You’re right about ice; when I was living in snow country, that was the most dangerous thing.
