~~Talking About The Weather~~

Friday morning I got up to find that the 3 inch snow fall prediction for over night had turned into 10 inches ....yes winter is active and doing well here in Maine, in fact it is snowing right now ..has been all day... the kind of snow fall that looks like the snow globe kind ...you know the glass ball with fake snow in it... turn it upside down give it a shake and turn it right side up and the snow gently falls to the bottom !  It has accumulated to ..."zilch".."zero".. "nada"...nothing!!!  I don't no how that happens!! lol

Here are a few photo's from yesterday morning !!  It turned out to be he most beautiful day with blue skies and not one cloud to be seen!! 







House Finches!!
"Yes Phil I know the feeders need topping of"  ;  }

 
 This morning House Finches again , as that snow globe snow was falling!!
I love there color in the snow!!


That red spot on the rump is so bright!!




Here are a couple of photos from last weeks crusty snow storm that sort of got lost in the file... I love the way the sunset shone a pink glow over the crust !!




Enoy your Sunday!!

    Oh, boy, it does look cold! The house finches don't seem to mind too much, though.

    your snow is so shimmery there in maine. i like the bird house also, providing some nesting material for the birds. it's very unusual.

    Grace,

    Beautiful captures but way too much snow for me:)

    The birds colour show true against the white background, making such lovely images.
    I love the red sky showing on the snow......just wanted to be there to see it in reality.....gorgeous.

    Have a good Sunday my friend.

    Hi Grace, we can imagine you being nice and comfy in your home and capturing these lovely images to share. No snow here, just all day rains on Sat and forecast for today. It's just as well, cause if we had snow, then Grenville would want to go outdoors and play in it. Instead, we are working on de-cluttering and wondering HOW we got so much STUFF in our house and lives. Loved the finches at the feeder and the sunset!

    Hi Grace, it's lovely to be visiting again. I hope you are getting over your stomach trouble now, thank you for popping over and for your very kind comment on my post and on the previous one too.

    My goodness! You have made me feel very chilly but it does look lovely and your photos show it to perfection. We had it like that last Winter but this Winter has been generally much milder so far, unusually so at times.

    I particularly like the first and second photos and the finches are so pretty!

    You're certainly getting your share of the snow. I'm glad we don't have any here though.
    Lovely set of pictures Grace, and I hope you manage to keep feeding them birds.

    I'm sorry Grace but those pictures of inches of snow on the box and your swing just made me laugh - very clever of you to shovel some on there. Now just make sure you don't forget the snow is on that swing and go and sit on it, you know how forgetful you get. Love the colour of those finches though - quite a warming colour. Stay happy Grace.

    See, so I'm finally not the only one to get snow ;-)
    We are getting a big snow storm this night and we had already snow yesterday! So we still have 10cm on the ground and we will get more tonight ;-) But at least it's brighter over here when it is snowing ;-)

    Hi, it's so nice to meet you. I am enjoying your blog and all the beautiful pictures..... The ones you posted today are incredible.....

  32. JeanJanuary 23, 2012 at 5:15 PM

    I just showed Ken your bird house entwined with twigs. That's a neat idea and should make birds more comfortable using it. I'll have to try that this spring.

    You got more snow than we did, darn it. And today's drizzle hasn't helped one bit.

    HOW pretty that snow is!! And the birds too...we had rain, and cold now its going to warm up again--weird weather. Love that Red glow on the crust.

    Hi Grace, that's a great set of images, winter (for you!) really has arrived! I love the colour of your House Finches, they're a pretty little bird.

    It would be nice if you could please send us just a wee bit of your snow, just enough for me to get a few photos - that's all, then you can have it all back, ta!!

    Stay safe..and warm!!...[;o)
