They're heeeere

Let the fun begin!

Merry Christmas!

Surprise white Christmas

May the beauty and peace of nature be with you this Christmas and throughout the coming year.

They've all got to eat

And when they do, I try to take their pictures. Between the screen and the gray days, I don't get many good photos. The other day, I was trying to get this flicker...

and a red belly showed up.

If only it had been sunny. 

One afternoon I caught these two.

Fat squirrel alert.

Finally, yesterday I got a good one. The red belly usually eats suet from the feeder on the deck, but she flies away every time I get close to the window. I understand not wanting your picture taken, but when you're this pretty, you have to put up with it.

Little black squirrel

... figured out how to get the suet.

He hung there awhile...

swinging and eating...

until he got scared away by a fat brown squirrel.
