I particularly enjoyed the stacked wood and the schoolhouse-turned-home, but snow adds charm to the landscape generally. I'll confess that it makes me a little homesick for Iowa, too. I wouldn't move back to the snow permanently, but there's nothing more beautiful than the countryside after heavy snow.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-67756515780554111102020-02-16T10:07:39.070-05:002020-02-16T10:07:39.070-05:00Hi David,

I must honestly say that I really miss the snow here in the Netherlands.<br />Your photos of the rough-legged buzzard are really super beautiful! The snow photos afterwards are also so beautiful to see and the red-tailed buzzard is also a very beautiful buzzard.<br />How funny that you saw Amish people there.

You're absolutely right about the ...Hi David, <br /><br />You're absolutely right about the fact that (a lot of) people like snow pictures. I enjoy them also and with such a nice day, with nice blue skies it's really wonderful. If there's snow during winter here, I think 99% of the photograhers and other pepole take pictures of it.<br /> Miriam did a good job on the rough-legged buzzard, they are a sort of rare in NL and it's been a while since I saw one. Nice to see these pictures of one. <br />It's also nice to see how other people are living and how their houses look like, quite big! <br /><br />As you know we didn't see any snow this winter (if I'm honest, I'm glad about that), it's more like an ongoing autumn here all the time. I hope spring will be there soon and that I can go out birding some more (with Maria).<br />By the way, I like the bird in the header, he's wonderful.<br /><br />Have a nice weekend and a hug from me,<br />MarianneMarianne De Vogelkijkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243235352423645569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-81385600678982466622020-02-15T08:55:05.777-05:002020-02-15T08:55:05.777-05:00Hello.

To-morrow is expected to be a wet day with lots of rain and a strong wind (7-8 Beaufort). This is supposed to be our winter.<br />Looking at your pictures I still hope there will come a change in the weather with us. Many people would appreciate a period with snow and ice.<br />Greetings, KeesKees van Dommelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937232281857503609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-3866672092385245732020-02-14T16:49:48.925-05:002020-02-14T16:49:48.925-05:00Buen caminar por la nieve, para hacer esas precios...Buen caminar por la nieve, para hacer esas preciosas fotos.

How wonderful that you enjoy venturing out, in the Great Lakes Region! A ways over to the west, of us. And we know how very, very Winter-like, your area is!<br /><br />Love the photos of farms and old homes. How interesting that Mennonite people simply added on to the family home, when children needed space of their own. Very simple, and an old fashioned form of 'wise.'<br /><br />Today's 'children' would not agree! -smile- Off on their own, in their own homes, etc. <br /><br />But think of how helpful it was... For instance, when a new baby arrived....Parents, and siblings, and in-laws were right there, to lend a hand. <br /><br />And I am *envious* of their dresses! I wear long dresses myself. Although I'd prefer a different color selection. -smile-<br /><br />Sorry for being OT, and not about the birds. I simply zeroed in on what I liked.<br /><br />💕 💕 💕Happy Valentine Day💕 💕 💕 wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-25506681968142197192020-02-14T04:55:58.463-05:002020-02-14T04:55:58.463-05:00Very pretty photos!

I remember that the Amish in Pennsylvania did their laundry on a Monday, and I enjoyed seeing the laundry hanging on the line outside. Beautiful images of your snowy landscape. Sometimes I miss the snow, especially those cold clear days. What I hated though was driving on icy roads early in the morning to work and the shoveling. I can happily do without that.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-21819760751399438832020-02-13T13:36:49.712-05:002020-02-13T13:36:49.712-05:00Beautiful landscape - including the buildings.
