The winter thread 2009

**pavel** · 12-31-2009, 09:10 AM

Despite the "whining" (LOL!) of some of our members, there is so beauty to be found in winter. Some of the following pics are less than stellar but I chalk that up to my camera's limitations and the fact that some of the pics were shot from inside my parents' house.

A neighbor's house:

Great shots, Paul! It looks very cold there. We got a little dusting of snow on Dec. 25, but that was it. Still clear here, but cold none-the-less. Thanks for starting this thread. I look forward to all the photos the members here will share.

Cheers,
BD

Pavel,

I like the winter too. Then I get the bill for heating my greenhouse.

Happy New Year.

I love the bird pictures, especially the first woodpecker one.

These are a couple of shots of the raptor feeding station in Wales. These were taken in Feb 2009. You may be able to pick out a few hawks and kites in amongst the crows. Love the Cardinal shot Paul !
