This and That from Winter Leftovers!

Today, we go back to "winter" photos
that I still had to share with you.



It was very, very cold on the day I took this:






The sun broke out over Lake Superior then, but it still didn't warm up!:





This little squirrel stayed around all winter, through cold weather. He ran and ran around and up and down the trees. We call him "Psycho Squirrel":





The beginning of the meltdown!
See the drip at the end of the icicle?:





I thought it was so funny that over a period of a few days
the prevailing winds made a bend in the icicle
and made "ice art":






Closeup dripping!:






These Evening Grosbeaks stayed with us all winter:







Icy fingers!:






Doesn't this look like a bony ice finger dripping?:





How about we make it red, like blood?:

Wait, it's not Halloween..
it is almost Spring.
What was I thinking??
(Me thinks I have cabin fever!!)

    Oh my. It does look cold. Please re-pose this in August so the snow pics will cool me down. I love that psycho squirrel. He's cute.

    I love all the icicles and that's a great capture of the grosbeak in flight. But of course you know that my favorite is the Psycho Squirrel.

    Oh, that is unfair. Just as I am getting used to the idea that winter might be a thing of the past and global warming might mean there will never be another one again - you go and remind me of it all.
