It's Winter

Omg! Is it ever cold. Want to get out to shoot some pics....will have to bundle up. Rain and snow for tomorrow. It feels like January and my lawn is being smothered in leaves. The "big oak" hasn't begun to fall though...thank God for Bill and his brother!

All the usual suspects.....

 I think that these are the same birds that I photographed last month. Tufted Titmouse above.
Below a White Breasted Nuthatch and finally below another Titmouse (or the same one). No sign of any woodpeckers this time. I want to go out to the park when no one is out there......maybe in the snow.

Little Piggy

I had to keep chasing this guy away because he was taking all the seeds (storing them in his cheek pouches). I wanted to get bird photos but this fellow would sneak back and wow, was he fast. You can see in this picture that his cheeks are starting to puff out. I love nature.

Happy Camping

 The campground was deserted, although I think that fall is a great time to camp especially if you have an RV. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Lower Huron until they closed the area to campers only. Lot of birds there and the river runs behind it.
Well, we couldn't believe that we had snow this morning! Pretty early in the year for snow and makes us all wonder what winter has to bring. The snow lay on roofs and cars but not grassy areas. Snow eventually changed to sleet and now it is a misty rain. We haven't seen the sun for weeks! Many trees still have their leaves. Remembering this beautiful day at the park from last month.

Gobble Gobble

I guess that these turkeys know that they have nothing to fear as long as they stay in the park boundaries. My sister-in-law tells me that wild turkey doesn't taste very good anyway. We enjoyed hanging out with them and they just ignored us. Loved being out in the woods with all the birds, deer, squirrels and little chipmunks. Will try to get some snow pictures out there this winter.
