today's feathery visitor

wow. what a sight to wake up to.

snowy start to 2011

looking out one of the livingroom windows; that's our kerosene tank in the lower right


the poor subaru; no longer running and even if it did i don't know that we could drive through the driveway drifts in it due to it's low clearance (and two unfortunate raggedy towels on the clothes line)

view of the mountains across the way

little bird tracks on the front porch

two cats in the basket are worth one bird at the feeder

happy new year to all

birds

cardinal, taken last winter in our boxwood

reading about cordelia stanwood today in birdwatching with american wome: a selection of nature writings edited by deborah strom. picked up the book from the annual library book sale. cordelia's story is both inspirational and sad. makes me want to wear ankle-length skirts and go out in the pasture and draw birds.
