Birds and Winter Scenes Continue!

I have been out taking a zillion Spring photos here in the U.P.
over the past few weeks,
and still have some winter ones to show you!





I think this is a Brown Thrasher.
We had never had this bird in our feeders before:






The Sturgeon River winding its way to Canyon Falls in January:





The track was so packed on the way to Canyon Falls, that we didn't even need snowshoes to hike in!:





I think I take a photo of this tree every season that I take the walk down to the falls...I just love how it "hangs on" with its roots:





Five mighty pines laden with snow against the blue, blue Janaury sky:






This hardy pair of mallards stayed on open river waters near Michigamme all winter!:


















I LOVED this snow ladened tractor by the barn when we went for a winter ride...
I made my hubby stop the car so I could capture it with my lens!:


I hope something makes you stop your car today
to capture your imagination and let you linger on the wonders of nature!

Great photos as usual. I have an old car that I want to stop and take shots of along the interstate. I don't have the camera or the time to stop. Someday I can get it. I don't want to get hit by any cars or trucks though.

Wow - snow. We didn't even get a hard freeze this year. Worked for me, but I so remember the beauty of snow. Spent lots of years up north.
