The latest snow storm has come and gone, so here are a few pics I took while out refilling the bird feeder. I didn't stay out long, as I wasn't wearing any gloves (silly me!). It was only about minus 10, but my fingers were frozen by the time I got back inside.
1. Ice cave formed on my balcony planting box.
2. Ice and snow on my roof
3. The pond is frozen and covered with snow. No one seems to be clearing it for skating this year.
4. The squirrel says: "Hurry up - where's the grub?"
5. The road across the valley is clear now.
6. It looks comfortable, doesn't it?
7. The number of needles in the grouping tells me that the tree I've been looking at out my bedroom window all these years is actually a White Pine (I just learned that!).
8. The white pine... and some fallen branches from the ice storm (many have already been cleared away).
