A smidgen of sun today, and next weekend is the next hurdle of winter, the coldest day of the year (statistically), so I'm looking forward to getting more pictures of those amazing little creatures called hummingbirds.

So much beauty in our lives, from a sunset to a nebula.

Such a silly baby,

It's cold today! -13° last night.

I am still amazed at the beauty of the northern lights we got to see earlier this year.

Poor puppy is too tired to even sit up to lick the plate.

I started out with four Hoyas 4-5 yrs. ago, and got hooked on them. I have several dozen now, and they are kind of fun to have. The stem that develops for blossoms is called a peduncle. Such a strange name. You have to be patient, because it takes quite a while for the blossoms to develop.

I was thrilled to see a Cooper's hawk sitting in the tree outside my window. I grabbed the phone and quick shot a picture before it flew off. I suspect it was hunting the birds at my feeders.

Snow squalls and a wicked wind today blowing the snow horizontally, so I'm posting a picture of warmer days.

Struggling through the darkest days of winter with snow flurries today, so I'm posting a picture I took with my first digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 950, the coolest camera I've ever had.

It's that time of the year, cold and easy to see the beautiful cardinals.

One of the worst things about getting old is losing the ability to do things you used to do. I miss my RV. I miss driving roads I've never been on before.
