Here's some more cardinal pics...we love feeding the birds and enjoy them especially in the winter! I make photo cards for farmers' market and a few crafting shows. Enjoy it so much! The new bird santuary (arbor) hopefully will draw them back this winter! Jeanne S.

And, some of you like Bluejays...they are beautiful but not as friendly to other birds. Bluejay "twins!"

Jeanne,

The cardinals are just gorgeous. What a blessing to have that kind of view. You really know how to operate that camera!
There was snow on your arbor on the earlier post. Is it snowing at your house?????
I have been carrying groceries and sweating and imagining how it would feel to sit a while in your Bird Arbor.

Susie (feel like I know you now that I've seen your pic from last year's secret santa!)

lol Bob. Elizabeth roflmao that is funny and probably more fitting for these times. MJ thanks...that was a special moment and I did make one just now. My I would be out taking pictures ALL the time lol. This morning I thought how nice it would be if now a blue jay would show up and pose for a picture. A short while later low and behold there was one on the pecan tree. BUT:..I opened the door and the noise made him take off. Kristy it is a feeder. The squirls hang on it on top with their feet...head down and eat from it too lol I DO need to get a house for them. But the neighbor has a real big one. ......NO it is a SHE roflmao Sounds like it is hardy and will be ok. Oh your yard will be even prettier come spring....the gazebo will look very gorgeous! Lucy

Your pic of AJ with RL can just about take your breath away......stunning together! I'm not a spider fan, but I'm very tempted to add ALFS to the garden as it has a lot of visual interest. First time I've seen ATTAM......my kind of daylily.....just love that one. I'm going to see the "Cats" musical on Wednesday......will be my third time to see it, and Cowgirl looks good enough to play a lead in that production.....very cute. Linda

Wow she really is huge! I have been keeping my feeders full since our temps are horrific (PA). I feel so bad for the birds and bunnies. I don't know how they survive these temps. The little wrens take cover on my covered porch and stay under my covered patio table. The bunnies visit my feeder area at note and enjoy what's on the ground. I don't have a heated BB but hope to get one next year when I get my small side yard landscaped.

Thanks, holiday-ers! Yes, cardinals are just so beautiful & esp when they are combined with new white fluffy snow...can't beat that combo! tugs, I have been making photo cards for lots of yrs. Thanks, everyone, for your gracious comments. The "Rowe Pottery" (pine pc & vase behind it) are made here in the midwest in Cambridge, WI...Google it sometime...they do beautiful work! I just LOVE the feel of pottery...looking at it & handling it...it's a comfort. I have a 3rd fuzzy sheep buried in my Holiday tubs int he garage so will have to wait til next yr to add him to the empty space on shelf where I took down the ceramic "chubby" guy. That reminds me: chubby sheep, chubby sheep, chubby sheep! Ok, OA? You are TOO FUNNY, woman! LOL! Thanks, everyone! Jeanne S.

What wonderful photos! I'm sighing with envy. No pretty birds here in Phoenix like that. Not to mention no snow, LOL. Thank you for a lovely "view".

Thanks for the treat!! The cardinals are so beautiful & Blue jays so much more colorful than our scrub jays They are just grayish with dull blue over the head shoulders & little on wings. Not lovely blue!!!You are so lucky to have such great birds. I do have hummers all yr long so that is fun!! Hard to get pics tho.They are so little.Jan

Thank goodness those colorful feathered friends stick it out through the snow and cold! My heart always lightens when I see a Cardinal during the winter months. They are easily seen against the gray bare trees and snow. Your pictures are all gorgeous. The Blue Jay in the bottom photo almost looks like he is posing as if to say, "Yes, I am stunning!" Even the female Cardinals look lovely. Thanks so much for sharing!

Those pics are AMAZING!!! You are a very good photographer. I also love how their bright colors stand out in the snow. Looks like you have a bit of paradise there.

Thanks for posting them. I miss those birds a lot. I'm gonna save those pics and put them on my desktop!!

When we moved here to our country home (converted barn) it was a couple of weeks before Christmas.

That first Christmas morning my husband and I woke up to snow, beautiful fluffy sparkly snow.
We have 11 pine trees surrounding the barn. Of course the snow covered the pine branches. I looked out the front window , and there sitting on one of the pine branches was a bright red Cardinal. It looked like a Christmas card, all white with some green and red. I wish I would have had a camera ready at the time. It was just so perfect.
It gave us that warm fuzzy Christmas feeling. As we sat and drank a cup of Hot Cocoa and a Christmas cookie.

I hope we have fresh snow for Christmas this year.

On the inside it looks pretty much like a reg. home....

I was so anxious for the walls to be put up on the inside...then when they were up and I walked in I was disappointed, because it lost the barn feel. But I love my home...

I've posted this many times before...I should take a different one....I have plans to put shelves under the front windows. I saw a picture on one of the blogs of White washed clay pots full of pinecones and greenery. I think I would love that on the front.

Anyway...here it is....
