A Trio of Muggers

These little ones
can get into more mischief
and still look so innocent!
 
 
"Are you talking to us?"
 
 
 
"If I hide in these flowers,
she can't see me!"
 
 
"Mom said if we came after dark
she couldn't see us.....
Boy, was she wrong!"
 
 
My flowers were pretty.....once!
 
Have a Happy Day!

Victory for the Lamb

Happy Easter
He has Risen, Indeed!
 
 

 

Crown Him with Many Crowns
verse 1
Matthew Bridges, 1851
 
Crown Him with Many Crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but it's own.
Awake my soul and sing
Of Him who died for thee
And hail Him as they matchless King
Thro' all Eternity.

Happy New Year 2018

Wow!  It's been awhile since I posted!
 
 
Winter, Snow and Cold Weather
have definitely arrived.
 
The Cardinals add a lot of color.
He thinks he is pretty great,
but she is a beautiful lady.
 
 
 
Sometimes there is a lineup at the feeders,
and there are some who do not like to share their space.
 
 
It was so unusual for me to see
a Red-Headed Woodpecker
at this time of year.
Usually I have only seen them in the Spring.
 
 
This one seemed to have a rather unusual beak.
 

 
This little Downy Woodpecker was getting impatient
for the big Red-Head to leave the feeder.
 
 
The little Carolina Wren seemed to be having
a bad hair day....It was kind of windy!
 
The Nuthatch is such a regular visitor,
I often neglect to take it's picture;
however, it rarely sits still long enough
to have one taken.
 
Yes, indeed, Winter is here!
 
 
 
We're supposed to have a
wind chill of -20 for New Years....Burr!!!

Eastern Phoebe

Finally, after many days of rain
the sun is shining
and the Spring Migration
of birds is starting.
 

 
I saw this bird flitting quickly
from trees to bushes, etc.
 
 
It took awhile until it sat still enough
for me to get some pictures.
 
It kind of reminded me of a Tufted Titmouse,
but it seemed too big and not quite the same.
 
After checking my Smithsonian Field Guild
and pictures on the Internet,
I believe it is an Eastern Phoebe,
which is definitely a new bird for me.
