Unfortunately, we have had some losses in the family and circle of friends lately and when I had recovered a bit from that it became so busy at work again. But I'll be back again.<br /><br />Question: Did our Christmas card reach you in Canada!! I sent this to you and Miriam on December 6.<br /><br />Your header with the owl is fantastic to see and that makes me happy. I also love your beautiful photos with the cardinals. I also see great woodpeckers and other small birds. Your trip with these members also gives a very nice winter with snow images. Beautiful to see. I really enjoyed it. Let me just say that I was jealous again when I saw that beautiful snowy owl!!!<br />A big kiss and hug from me,<br />HelmaHelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669041021568049241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-45671490950407677852022-02-01T13:17:53.305-05:002022-02-01T13:17:53.305-05:00I love how fluffed up that blue Jay is.

I had no idea that minks live here, but they do: mostly in north and east-central Texas. Last weekend I found a beautiful red wasp in my wandering, and smiled to remember your book review. Now that I've read about the mink here, perhaps my day to find one of those will come! shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-60799483079078772212022-01-31T18:14:45.417-05:002022-01-31T18:14:45.417-05:00Nature just lifts the spirits doesn't it.

Gorgeous. I think in some ways, the female is as lovely as the male. They remind me of the song "The Colors of My Life" from "Barnum." PT Barnum sings about all the vibrant and bright; then his wife, Charity, sings about her favorites -- the muted, nature tones:<br /><br />Barnus: Are bountiful and bold, The purple glow of indigo, The gleam of green and gold. The splendor of the sunrise, The dazzle of a flame, The glory of a rainbow, I'd ...<br />Charity: Are softer than a breeze. The silver gray of eiderdown, The dappled green of trees.
