Nature Notes and Our World Tuesday: Photographs I took on the first day of 2015

I took some shots of Jack Frost's visit to the leaves in my back yard.

 I liked the light on my nandina bush.

 Bill and I went on a walk mid morning as we usually do on New Year's day.

 The shallow parts of the stream and marsh had some ice.

 It was a beautiful day.

 I thought the Canada Geese were posing for me.

 The cormorants looked like they were standing guard.

 I almost missed the heron hiding in the woods.

 A good day to start off the new year followed by a rather wet but warmer weekend.

    Love Jack Frost and your heron. I always enjoy seeing the water in your photos - those are really appealing, like I'm on the walk with you.

    Maybe one of these days I won't be catching up on my work or helping my daughter with her homework and I can post some of my recent bird pics, too...

    A nature walk is a great New Years Day tradition. And you have the perfect place for it. The frosted leaf is beautiful., and lots of winter birds. Perfect!

    We've had a heron hanging around our cabin this winter. He must be over-wintering somewhere nearby. They sure make a prehistoric sound. - Margy
