This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.
... I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.......Psalm23:6

First Snow..............

November 9th, first real snow. We were told would get 5inches last night. We did not. We may get it tonight though. So today I took some pictures. It was pretty but not as much snow as I had expected and pretty much gone by noon. Tomorrow, well we shall see.

There were plenty of birds today and too many squirrels. Boots wanted to go out, I let her. She just sat and pretended she was enjoying it. I asked if she wanted to come back inside she said no. On 2nd call she came in.

Some people were just plain greedy.

Later there was also a Cardinal, this guy always comes at dusk so it's hard to get clear pictures. I have managed to get some good Cardinal pictures but not today.

Gerry took the Poodles out to pee and a wander around between showers. The snow was turned to rain/drizzle before getting back to snow as it got cold again. They enjoyed a stroll and a yap at passers by.

The inevitable Chickadees were flitting around too. He looks fuzzy because he was shaking his feathers.

I will see what tomorrows like, we should have more snow. I put out extra food after it got dark in case the Possom comes back.
