I had not realized that your garden is so extensive. I know how much work that can be.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot of work but the rewards are worth it. Have a good day Diane
DeleteOh...I love the pics of the Blue Tit in the snow. Great shots! We actually had two small snows here in my area, but nothing like I wanted this yr. Problem with that is Mother Nature don't care what I want! haha
ReplyDeleteGreat for photos but I feel so sorry for the little birds trying to keep warm. Yes mother nature has a mind of her own LOL. Keep warm Diane
DeleteThey really are the sweetest little birds, love the way they puff up jnto a little ball to keep warm ☺ Still coughing Diane, but maybe I'm just wishful thinking but I don't think as much!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right and you are on the mend, I am still cough the same, no change sadly.
DeleteThe birds are so sweet and I feel so sorry for them in winter. Take care and hope you are very soon better Diane
Such pretty yellow birds! I always love your bird photos, Diane.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie, I love sharing the birds with you all as well. Take care an keep warm Diane
DeleteThe snow is so pretty. It's just miserable to be out in it.
ReplyDeleteParticularly miserable for the little birds trying to keep warm. Hope all is well Diane
DeleteThis has been a crazy winter-Even this year Florida had snow! Hoping for a beautiful spring. The Tit birds that visit my feeder year round are the "Tit mouse" with a black and gray coloring. Stay warm!

Hi Velva, good to hear from you. Your birds are mostly quite different to ours. I discovered the difference also while we were in Nevis last year. You stay warm also. Diane
DeleteI'm really not fond of the cold so am very glad that I'm not there - but do appreciated how pretty it all looks. Happy to view your photos.
ReplyDeleteI hate the cold, it OK in the house, we have a good wood fire! Cheers Diane
DeleteHi Diane. Lovely photos of a very pretty snowy landscape. Poor little birds, snow is attractive to see but the cold not comfortable to live with. I love how birds have such expressive faces. Keep warm. Kim
ReplyDeleteSnow is pretty if you only have to look at it!!! I hate the cold so much!! Take care Diane
DeleteBrrr....so much snow! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreat for photos but I prefer to be warmer!! Have a good day Diane
DeleteIt sure looks cold and I'd be complaining too. Great shots of the cute little birds.
ReplyDeleteWe have not seen the sun since we got back from the UK at the end of December!! We are both really fed up with too much rain, fog and now snow! Thanks for the comment, take care t'other Diane
DeleteI am trying hard to imagine the coolness of -2 while we warm up to another scorcher.
