"Looking Up"

The theme this week is "Birds" by Kathy.  Mac, Kathy, Lew, Christine and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. We now post anytime before 4 PM EDT on Wednesdays and voting begins after that. 

I looked up and what did I see but the tops of Christmas trees that my neighbor planted to decorate the back of his yard. They are really tall now. Check out all the pine cones, the squirrels love the pine seeds.

 The Sun trying to shine over the trees on a cloudy day.

We did have some clear nights and the Moon did shine.

Looking up I saw the Moon and in the lower left a planet Jupiter.

This was our Moon on many a night looking up through the hazy sky.

Our yard today after a warming span and rain storms last night. We have a snow storm heading our way. Where did all that snow go? Can you see the lake?

I really enjoy getting photos of birds. Here are a few I captured through the years. This is a Carolina Wren that came to the feeder.

This is a Rose Breasted Grosbeak on the top of the feeder.

Here are some Ruby Throated Hummingbirds getting a drink.

This was a flock of Wild Turkeys I saw.

Here is a Peacock showing off for the Peahens. They really make some load calls.

We haven't had much snow this year so far. This has been a really mild winter so far. We had 50 F last week and little snow. Lucky for me we got our second snow yesterday. It was one of those beauties that cover the trees, lucky me. My back yard became a winter wonderland.

As you can see the snow put a covering on all the trees.

I was so happy to get new photos after such a mild start to winter. I actually used my snow blower for the first time this year.

There is nothing that goes better on a cold February night then a bowl of home made chili. The funny thing is it is 54F today and it will still taste good. My wife is a excellent cook. Drop by and have a bowl.

She make a great dish.

Check out all the goodies in the pot.

The lid back on and ready to eat.
