Ice Can Look Nice
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill, a warm Chinook wind blew in. It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling. At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other. Feed the birds ****

... and the mate watched over her from the pine trees.
you must have had a real hoot taking them.

Is that owl really living close to you?
We had a screech owl baby for awhile. I think it was hurt and my brother was nursing it back to health. We feed it meat...and it did make a crazy screech (o:
Reminds me of a grouchy old man who isn't really as grouchy as he appears. :)
Sending warmest wishes from a NOT so sunny South Africa today!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today it was nice to see you
Then I saw that it was an owl ! they have such funny faces and eyes like my cat Rosie ! You are so lucky to see them life !
Mine are here and here.
I miss the pair of grt horned owls that lived near me in CA. I didn't see them much, but I heard them nearly every morning sometime between 3 and 4 AM. Lovely.
Hugs and blessings,
I've not seen an owl upclose and personal yet. I do see them flying away sometimes at twilight - off to find a dinner mouse I guess.
thanks for the owl photos.
they make the most soothing sound at night ... so easy to sleep to.
The WV word is "loathe" ! ! ! I think that is hilarious.
