March 2, 2007 - Snow Drops
Windy this morning, with highs expected to be about 50. It definitely feels like March today, and it seems more appropriate to fly kites than to take photos. But I ran across these the other day while looking for my little crocus friends. I thought they were interesting.

March 1, 2007 - Further Evidence
Cloudy this morning and expecting thunderstorms this afternoon. Highs expected to be in the 60's. Caught this one the other day as further evidence that spring is nearby.

February 28, 2007 - Sign of Spring
A cool night but expecting a sunny day with highs in the 50's. This is a sure sign of spring - the crocus appearance. I was delighted to see these little guys peeking their heads up out of the ground. So very much looking forward to spring flowers.

February 27, 2007 - Curious lady
Cloudy again today, but supposed to be a little warmer, with highs near 50. I took this one last weekend of this female cardinal who was looking at me as if to say, "Human, what are you pointing at me?"

February 26, 2007 - Bad Hair Day
Cool and cloudy today, with highs expected to be in the low 40's. It was very windy yesterday - so much so that even this cardinal's hairdo was blown over. I think that the birds in my feeders were having to hold on with both feet to keep from being blown from their perches.

February 25, 2007 - Madison doing yard work
Rain this morning, but sunny and breezy this afternoon. Highs near 60. Madison and her grandma went out into the yard to pick up some of the limbs and sticks from the winter. I got this one of her as she went about her work (big fun for her).

February 24, 2007 - Red-Headed Woodpecker
Sunny and cool today, with temps in the high 40's. I had never had one of these come in to my feeders before, but I had switched suet to fruit suit, and I've been getting several new birds. I was thrilled when this one arrived. Not the best photo, but he was very shy.

February 23, 2007 - Mallard Portrait
Cool and cloudy this morning, with temps in the low 30's. Expected to be breezy again today with highs in the mid 40's. I took this one during the week, as these guys were all up out of the water and hunting for food in the grass.

February 22, 2007 - Quizical Junco
Mild this morning with temps around 40. Expecting highs around 50 today. I took this little guy's photo a few days ago. He came into the feeders and hopped right over to my back porch. He looks like he's about to say something - probably wanting more seeds put out.

February 21, 2007 - Practicing safe singing
Foggy, gray day with temps in the 40's. I just happened to look over the bank today while on my noon walk, and saw this little guy sitting on the edge of this sign. I didn't realize what the sticker on the sign said until I got back and looked at the image. He was singing his heart out, but doing it safely.

February 20, 2007 - Church at Bulltown
Warm today, with highs reaching close to 50. A far cry from the weather we have been enduring. I took a little trip yesterday to Bulltown, which is a historical area in Braxton County. This little church probably wouldn't have seated more than 20 people. A very nice restoration.

February 19, 2007 - Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker
Very cold again this morning with lows around 2 above zero. Supposed to warm up today into the 40's, and hopefully the very cold weather is going away. I think I got this one right - this classification is the only one that even came close to this fellow, who sat there all spread out and dared the blue jays to come close.
