That's My World Tuesday: January Ends


Friday night I played around with some snow shots. I thought it almost ended up looking like the sky was filled with a zillion stars.
Photobucket
After snowing Friday night it sleeted a good bit of Saturday and then briefly changed to a little more snow that night.
Photobucket
We didn't get as much as they were predicting at one point and I know the birds were happy about that. Mrs. Cardinal on the left looks like she's posing for me.
Photobucket
I was happy that I didn't lose power where I live in central NC. I was ready for snow but not for power outages which I've dealt with before in winter storms.
Photobucket
Although wind can be bad in storms I think a lot of the snow and sleet were actually blown off tree limbs and power lines before they could create a problem. That's my theory.
Photobucket
The last day of January the sun came out and it almost looked like powdered sugar on the ground.
Photobucket
I've been helping the birds out with lots of food during the icy weather and they've been letting me photograph them in return.
Photobucket
I've also have fun photographing bird's foot prints next to my boot prints from the day before. Odd have they end up being raised.
Photobucket
I thought the tread on a print someone left on the left below was kind of interesting. My boots sank way down (below right). I hope it wasn't my size but was rather my boots that broke through so much more.
Photobucket
I've photographed so many different birds that these are just a sampling. There's something sweet about the morning dove to me.
Photobucket
The camellia bush got way ahead of itself this year but I like the way it looks.

So that's the end of the first month of January, 2010 in my world. Click here to visit other parts of the world.

That top photo is utterly amazing. That tree is gorgeous. And the blue photo--the texture is just amazing.

Snow does have this magical effect on things. And good photographers like you capture it so beautifully. Your reciprocal relationship with the birds is very neat. Thanks for another visual treat.

Doesn't snow just make everything prettier. We got the same weather although more of it here. I enjoyed your bird piccies very much.

What lovely snowy views from your wintry white world ... how nice that the birdies 'pose' in return for your generosity. Love the tracks in the snow ... the camellia ... and your amazing header photo is stunning!
Hugs and blessings,

ooops ... I forgot to mention how much I LOVE your starry photo through the branches ... there's too much LIGHT where I live to see many stars at all ... ever!
Hugs and blessings,
