Winter here and there....

















Snow at my son's house this morning in Auburn, New York....
It is 34 degrees and sunny in SC and was only in the 20's overnight!  Usually we are bragging about our mild winter weather but not today-ha!














Winter winds here last night in the 20's and high today is only 37 degrees!  Not typical for this time of year in Garden City, SC!

This time of year the mallard couples are hanging out together, not in competition yet and acting as family.












This is our resident couple.  I feed them bits of bread through the winter and then when they are nesting, they bring the little ones around to visit with me as well.  I just take pictures through the den window - so enjoyable.



And the Egret comes to fish is the cold water just as they do all year round.  So beautiful.
Thank you for visiting and do come again soon!

Winter and the New Year have Arrived

View while I wait, cancer center
Happy New Year every one!  Wishing you all the best of blessings to come!
My sweet husband received the last of his radiation treatments today and the doctor says he should be getting some real relief from lower back pain now!


"Winter is the time for comfort...It is the time for home." -Dame Edith Sitwell


Bright Sunshine fills the backyard, an almost blinding light without the leaves on our trees to cut the glare of a Winter sun.
   The birds are everywhere and the sunsets are still beautiful, warming the landscape in the nippiness of temperatures falling.
And as usual, I chase after the best views all around the house of God saying Good Night!
The sky is a baby blue and the sunset baby pink.

 The Camellia bush is a winter bloomer and brings beauty to an otherwise brown season of cold.

Thank you for coming today!  I love sharing our backyard birds.
My heart to yours...
