Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, we are going to take a look at some of the pictures Mama took after the snow we got a couple of weeks ago. Mostly she took pictures of birds because we were too lazy cold to play in the snow.
This is SF the smart bird feeder, Mama cleared the snow after she took the picture so the birds wouldn't have any problem finding their food.
Our resident House Finches were happy the feeders got filled the day before the storm.
The Junco couple were happy for the seed the finches were dropping
...and here is a Mourning dove giving Mama the stink eye. We feel ya Miss Dove, that Mama and her camera can be annoying!
Speaking of Mama and her camera....well kinda...Mama got a diagnosis on her knee yesterday. The good news is she doesn't have to have surgery and can keep giving us food and treats as scheduled. BUT, she does have a stress fracture along with a mini disco (miniscus) problem. She is banned from unnecessary walking which, I have been told, includes MY DAILY WALKIES! She has to use a silly brace and crutches for the next FOUR WEEKS. Luckily we have LOTS of archive pictures if we don't get out and about for new photos.
Anyways....back to the snow pictures:
The temps got down in the teens, BRRRRR!
The icicles made another appearance(Mama knocks them all down after she takes pictures of them).
The snow even clung to the Texas Cactus seed pods making for a very pretty picture!
We'll wrap up this week with a little female house finch basking in the warm sun!
We hope you enjoyed this week's look at our snowy backyard and hope all our friends get a chance to enjoy nature this weekend!
