Day 351 - 16th December 2016 - Ferns, Lichen and a Woodpecker

It's a cold and miserable morning out there folks, dress warm and drive with care if you are heading out to work.  Still snowing and the wind is blowing hard.  I guess I'll be inside feeding the furnace most of the day.  Some days it pays to get up early - got the fire built at 4:30am and the chill off the house. Yesterday I decided to get out in the short window when it stopped snowing and grab some shots with a smaller lens.  Of course the sun had popped out but wasn't long going back behind a cloud, I was really hoping for some of that "snow bling" but it was a fun jaunt. Today I'll get back to a few things in the kitchen and maybe some more wrapping.

 Not sure what kind of ferns these are but I call them evergreen - they remain green even in winter.

 This female Woodpecker wasn't interested in how close I got to her.

 This cherry little fellow was dipped in snow.

The lichen on the trees were edged with snow.






Enjoy your day!
