Winter is back!  Yea!  I love it!  Unfortunately not many others agree. Gloria and I drove around the countryside and found these Winter landscapes.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.

Mocking Bird

A couple of Mocking Birds have been visiting our suet feeders all Winter.  It finally got warm enough to set up my 300mm lens and camera on a tripod and wait.  They will spook at the slightest movement.  They love oranges, and I have some set out for them, but this time they wanted suet.  For short slide show of one eating oranges click here:

My Mini Model

Going over some older images from three years ago I came across these of my grand daughter, Julia.  While walking around a park on this beautiful day in Florida, she started modeling for the camera.  I believe one day this young lady will become an actress, even if only in a school play, for she loves to put on skits for family gatherings, writing and performing her own plays.

Winter's Jewelry

About a week ago, we had some freezing rain in the area.  Luckily the sun poked out of the clouds for a bit so I went out looking for Winter's jewelry in my backyard.  Click on the link above for a short slide show.
