Blizzard part 2
2010.02.11
Another view of the pond at Pastorius Park. I think this looks like a painting.
|
A junco in my yard. Later in the afternoon the fence was covered up by the snow.
|
I filled the feeders before the storm. The birds have been flocking to them. Here are three goldfinches eating sunflower chips.
|
Pearl and Gratey can't believe the storm is continuing so long. It's great entertainment for a cat!
|
I kept hearing tree limbs crack and went to investigate. My neighbor's white pine had several limbs that had broken off and fallen to the ground.
|
The squirrel baffles are covered with 18 inches of snow. The steel pole which supported six feeders bent at the base and was lying on the ground.
|
My front yard showing the path that was shoveled several times.
|
On the left are the yew bushes folded over and touching the ground. The snow has formed a huge cave under the bushes and the sparrows are safe and warm under the cover. The blue thing is the back of my chair.
|
The shadowed area in the middle is where my waterfall is (and it's still running!) A little bit of the stream is still visible if you can get high enough to look over the snow banks.
|
The second evening and the snow is still falling!
|
This is the Hynoki Cypress with its winter lights. It looks like a giant glowing creature.
|
View from the second floor window. The blobs on the right are the birdfeeders, the pond is in the middle and the "creature" is in the back.
|
Yesterday I posted part 1 which I like better than part 2. Click on 2/10 on the calendar to see it.

Hi, Janet! Here in Maryland we REALLY got slammed. Rob even called us to make sure we were all right. There were a lot of power outages. We lost ours for a little over an hour yesterday. Happily, that was the worst. The governor wants us all off the road. I'm happy to oblige!

Janet, thanks for asking to be friends - I think we have a lot in common with our photos! Following the gorgeous shots of the birds, #4 with the cats made me LOL! And I thought we had a lot of snow in Arkansas this year....wow! Hope you can dig out by May!
