Winter is come in earnest and the snow
In dazzling splendour...
Spreads a white world
All calm...
Fancy's pliant eye delighted sees a vast romance displayed.

I LOVE Cedar Wax Wings, one of my favorite birds. They make such a lovely sound and they are so cute how they hang around in huge groups. I get them in the spring in my berry tree out front, they don't stay here in the winter. DancingDolphin · 2008-01-26: 14:09

haha - i was about to say the same thing my mom did - i LOVE cedar wax wings! only mine would have been different because i'm too lazy to capitalize everything :-) there are so many of them! and you have a very cute and snowy backyard! lexlevans · 2008-01-26: 15:25

Beautiful photos. I love watching birds in winter. The leaves don't get in the way. I can't believe it's snowing again! mariaps · 2008-01-26: 22:22
