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 taking you on a Winter tour of our backyard.
The skies have been blue here in our corner of the world.
We had a rainy cold front come through last week, with temps staying in the 30s during the day and dropping into the twenties at night. It made these pretty icicles.
Mama turned off the fountain so it wouldn't freeze.
This week the days are warmer, almost 60F degrees.
The plants are getting confused....this little forsythia bloom thought it was Spring.
Some of our plants still have their seed pods attached, like the lilac bush...
....and Mama's favorite, the Texas Yucca's seed pods!
Thanks for joining us on our backyard tour. January is a pretty quiet time for nature here in our corner of Blogville.
We hope all our friends enjoy some nature this weekend!
From Mama: We are away from the office today and may not be able to comment. We'll catch up with everyone Monday afternoon!

ReplyDeletethe last time I saw icicles like this was in 1959 in Sloans Valley KY... these are beautiful, and I do love seed pods and especially photos of seed pods... your back yard is wonderful when cold or hot...

ReplyDeleteMy word, those icicles are impressive! A winter garden always has a sense of waiting, I feel... hope you have a fun weekend planned! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Good icicles look so pretty, but be careful as if they fall, they can be dangerous, especially the big ones.

ReplyDeleteYour yard is so pretty even in the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Great big icicles! :-D
ReplyDeleteThe weather can't seem to make up it's mind what month it is here, either. 60's would be great right now! Hope you have a good time off.
ReplyDeleteWe've had some cold and should get more, but today was lovely. I like your icicles.
