Oh boy, lizard pictures. Tree lizard in a bird house.

I just took this today, shooting from the living room behind the plastic-covered french door windows leading to the balcony! It was too &%#$ cold to even venture out onto the balcony. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Roger filled the feeder late yesterday hoping that deer and raccoons wouldn't wipe it out before the birds came out today. There is so much activity around the feeder today and the wind-chill factor here is -10-20.

Here is one of the many pairs of Northern Cardinals in the yard

Sage,
Your bright colored birdies in the snow "warmed my freezing cold winter heart."

Yes, spring can't come soon enough for me. It's been -20 below and then some in Northern WI at night for the past week. Some days....never rising above 0.

No surpise wildlife shots for me this week. I think all the critters are curled up trying to stay warm like me!

Here are a few shots of what the snow and cold looks like here.

BooBooBearBecky · 01-17-2009, 02:22 PM

Yeah....the pics!! Got them uploaded ok now. BTW...that's Max, my hearing dog! Gotta bundle him up in this darn cold weather!

TheLorax · 01-17-2009, 02:29 PM

Pets are just like kids. We gotta take care of them in weather like this.

Not much going on around here either. -23 yesterday morning at 4am but it did heat up to around -6. Some activity at my bird feeder. I'll have to try to for some birdfeeder photos.

Ok, gotta give it a shot.....only these are not natives, LOL I do believe I could have taken a Best in Show with that rose

You don't get one's like that often, but it was a beauty. It's called Sheer Delight because of the way it smells. The peony is we believe a Sarah Bernhardt. My oldest son brought it home from the neighbor ladies when he was about 5 and "helping" her with her flowers, so these are about 30 years old. LOL Both the roses and the peonies got several treatments of Bokashi "juice" and I truly think it made a huge difference in their bloom and production.
