Rose Bush Icicles

 

I love the way icicles form on things and how they take shape .

                                          The rose bush by the work shop has icicles hanging from it .

                                           Ice has formed over the leaves and stock of the rose bush !

Lots Of Snow Fell

 

We had a big snow storm yesterday it dumped about a foot and a half  . We went from no snow to this .

It was past Miggs belly in spots as drifts were formed from the high winds but she doesn't mind she loves running and playing in the snow !

                        It is heavy sticky snow and stuck to all the trees , looks soo pretty !

I will be going out here and there to take my scenic winter wonderland photos for the next few days .

                                                   Get out there be snap happy and have fun  !

Goings On In Our Yard

 

The weather has been chilly but sunny and all the birds and critters have been busy storing and stocking up for when the snow fly’s .

                 The nuthatch just love their suet's here is the Red breasted nuthatch .

Our scruffy critter Miggy who just loves the cool weather and sunshine and shows off for the camera .

Miggs is my practice subject for my photography and my best subject as she is full of spunk and energy .

This Downy woodpecker was playing with me bouncing from the tree to suet as I was photographing him .

                         Mr Dove  watching the yard from high up in our Burch tree !

A little White Breasted nuthatch keeping an eye on me as I draw closer to him . Did you know the nuthatch is the only bird that can travel down a tree head first ?

Then we have Mr Squirrel up in the tree laying on a big branch watching us catching his breath after Miggy just chased him up !

                 We have lots of nature here and it is wonderful to be able to capture it  !

Cold December Sunrise

 

It was cold and crisp early this morning as I saw the sun rising through these clouds as they rolled by in the wind over our valley.

I love how  it looks when the orangey sun bounces off the clouds formations !

                    I took lots of photos to capture the ever changing scene !

The clouds were rushing past and changing their formation so fast ! It was a beautiful sight !

The clouds started to blow away in the distance and the sun was able to shine in it’s full glory !

Cold November Moon

I love the moon and how it looks with clouds around it and how it  glows in and on the clouds revealing their shape and form  ! Up to the top left of the moon is Jupiter . Jupiter stands above the Moon on the 1st, rises soon after nightfall, remains out all night, and reaches its maximum brightness of the year by month’s end.

Misty , Our Sunshine

 

Our Misty just love’s being outside during the day no matter what the weather .  She love’s to play and chase squirrels . She also love’s the camera and is my best photo subject always has been . I must have thousands of photos of her . The funny thing is if I have my camera and am photographing other things she will literally start to grumble at me and try to get me to take her photo !

                                                Misty is truly quite the character .

                            One of her favourite spots to watch over the yard !

                                                      Always treeing the squirrels .

                                                                  Playing and having fun !

                                         Going for walks is always an adventure with Misty !

                                                                  Did you say   CHEESE mum ?

                                          Misty love’s to be with her sister Harley !

                                                         To give and get kisses !

                                            To do things for mummy when the occasion arises !

                                                                  And to be our best friend !

                                 Misty aka  Miggy !

First Snow This Season

 

I just love the first snow fall . The temps are mild and the snow  fell gently . All is quiet as the snow blankets the land  in a fresh white wonder  .

                         The birds slowly one by one pop out for some food !

The Blue jays frantically gobble up the seed and peanuts before any one else gets it .

I love the first snow falls . Everything is so tranquil and pretty !

Our Misty who just loves the snow . She was waiting for me to come and play . Mum put the camera down please and lets play fetch !  So we did !

Miggs & My Daily Walk

 

This is where my Miggs and I like take our walks . It is seconds from our house . I never get board of this walk as there is always something new to see or hear  as the land changes throughout the seasons .

                                           Miggs my walking & photo comrade !

       This morning it was sunny with a bit of fog  and frost  the air was crisp clear and fresh !

    Deer have been spotted here early in the morning , I am yet to photograph them ! Miggs is hot on their trail sniffing the ground like crazy !

                            It is soo peaceful here yet wonderfully noisy with nature .

                 Back in the forest there is a river that runs around our village !

                                 This is part of that river behind our park !

                                      This is at our village park that backs on to the river !

                                                                          Swing  anyone ?

      Morning sun rays , fog and frost  in our park ! I could hear the frost melting and dripping off of the trees  as it plunked  into the river !

       Melting frost gleaming in the morning sun  as the fog drifts past in the background !
