My World Tuesday Season # 2 Episode # 14


This is my posting for the My World Meme. It is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Wren,  Sylvia and myself. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. 


We had Sun come out in My World. After what seemed like an eternity we finally had a break in the grey skies. We had some snow melting and a problem I had with a leak went away. You can see the build-up of snow on the deck. I see shadows on the deck snow cover.

See what is happening at a lot of other worlds.

Today's Flowers # 74

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 2 GMT is the post time.


I'm looking back to last May when the flowers were in bloom and the bees were collecting pollen. Darla says they are Cornflowers.


This flower was quite beautiful on its own.



The variance in the flower colors is really neat.



You can see a lot of neat flowers at the above meme.

Camera Critters # 92 - Mallard Ducks


The ducks in my header where closely congregated in Fish Creek. This is looking North and upstream. You can see how many ducks are located near the bridge. You can click on the photo to get a closer view. One of the people that  guesses the correct number of ducks will get a framed photo of my header. Just put your guess in the comments.


You can see the one unusual color phase of the Mallard Female Duck at the top right.


I went to the downstream side of Fish Creek looking South and some of the ducks flew a little ways.


They settled in fairly quickly and allowed for some photos.


They are very comfortable in the cold water and the water just rolls off their back. Their duck down keeps them warm and they can just sit still in the water.


You can see a lot of neat critters at the above Meme.

Header Competition # 13

The header theme this week by Mac from England is "ICE". Mac,TomDarla and I have a little contest to show a new theme header each week. Go to the other sites to see their interpretation of this weeks theme.


I have had a lot of ice hanging from my roof line. It does cause some problems.

It can build up as all the snow on the roof melts.



The little stream down the road is open but has ice on the banks.

The photo of the "Mallards On Ice" I liked best became my favorite and became my header.

My World Tuesday Season # 2 Episode # 13

This is my posting for the My World Meme. It is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Louise, Sylvia and myself. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. A happy Twenty Ten to all who visit.


My world has completely changed to a winter wonderland. The house is being blanketed with snow on the roof on the North side.


The South side of the house is turning into a ice cycle forest.


You can see a lot of great worlds above.
