Day 18 - 18th January 2013 - Snow, Lexi, Lichen and Red Polls.

Snowing already this morning and the temperature is -8.5. Brrr. Suppose to be 5 cms. and ending around noon - we'll see. The best weather forecast is the one you see when you look out the window. Lexi and I will go out and play in the snow later. Maybe I'll try for some more snowflake photos today as well. Guess I better tackle a little housework too before the day is out. It appears that my internet is being a little troublesome this morning, hoping that doesn't go all together.
Yesterday was lovely - warm and sunny. The snow melted off the trees pretty rapidly. Lots of birds at the feeders. Tackled some of the old photographs - numbering and cataloging them in a database with a description, size, etc. I even made a column for the Photographer/Studio. Since I did a bit of research on those one day I'd like to dig a little deeper. My best guess is that most of the photos I went through yesterday were from a time period of 1890-1910 and mostly taken in Massachusetts, a few in Maine and New Hampshire and one or two from Nova Scotia. Casserole for supper and a good exercise class last night. So where is this happy with exercise class coming from - I have no idea.

 Then she decides to settle in and see what comes to visit.

 This little fellow wasn't bothered by her.

Topped with snow or toppled over.

 A little bling.

 My friendly little Red Polls.

I'm really enjoying having them so close and being able to practice photographing them.



















I hear the rest of the family getting up. Enjoy your day!
