Anything there to eat?

Blue Jay and a squirrel searching in the snow.

Blue Jay said: " I can see you found something delicious"

A feast is set for the doves

with cracked corn.

The Cardinal with other birds are contemplating

how to get to the table loaded with seeds?

Blue Jay is finding the best from the selection

perhaps some small size Sunflower seeds

"I am just one of those sparrows

but we need food also"

The squirrel is saying:

"You see who is seeking

will find"

He learned it in the school for the

talented squirrels

where he graduated.

Happy New Year

The end of the year 2010 with a brutal snow storm and with killing winds made life miserable on the East Coast of USA for daysbut

suddenly the New Year of 2011 came with a bright smile : hugging us with warm and mellow air
melting the 2 feet of snow on my patio in short days
with unbelievable kindness

The fog was thick on the second day of the New Year

like would tell you:

"You don't see far in the fog

like you don't see the future!

Hope and pray

that the coming year

will be kind and loving

all the way

as it is at the beginning."

Winter in our region

We are the very "noisy" birds: in winter we had hard time to make a living.
We are very happy to get some hand outs,
the fish we eat
went deep
into warmer waters
and we are hungry.


I look fat, you think
but I am just puffing up
mt feathers
and so is warmer.





They call me :
'Red belly woodpecker"
but the red is on my head...



I live here too.
In a different part of the region
They call me "Fox squirrel"
I like black nuts,
not acorns!




The most beautiful in the winter show:
The Male Cardinal
tough birds to live
in the cold winter here.







I am the "Downy woodpecker"
a small little bird
but still a woodpecker







You can see that I am very similar
to those birds
on the East Coast,
but this picture is from
the Pacific North West.








They call it:
snow fence
to keep the drifting snow in control

At the very same time:

Down South

we the penguins

enjoy the summer time.

And so we celebrate the SOLSTICE

in the winter up North

and in the South

on the other pole.

November days

the misteries in Nature

No plane was ever created by men,

no plane would fly like this

the wonder of aerodynamics

created by nature!

Hear Ya...!

I am talking to you!!!

The grace in
deep waters

WALKING AROUND

These are the favored sights :

to see the clouds

because we still in need for lot of rain

The surviving heroes:

the Yucca and an Ornamental Grass

after the brutal heat and drought

Gourds are coming in all shapes and colors

the "clowns" in the Fall :-)


More serious stuff: food for humans
on the healthy side
(Veggies naturally)




One of my favored: the Turnips
if you know the right recipes
they can be just delicious.
I wish I could find
the best of the recipes, but
now just have to look
and hope to find. :-)

very funny

So is Fall in the world of flowers
Some decoration if you like

Serious matter: beauty after death
