Naughty Woody

What a colorful surprise. Woody is finally back, but we have a problem. Din-Din just happens to be the post holding up the walkway from our washroom door to the side yard. Not Good! If you look, you can see the screen wire popping through because these were taken through the kitchen window.

GEEZE.....It’s snowing again. We had just melted, and now the white stuff is back.

Temperature ~ 17 degrees at 5:00 and going down to 5 degrees tonight. UGH!

Mr. and Mrs. Red and Woody on a Snowy Day Last Week

Here are some mosaics I made in PSE11 for my BB2 Class #8. The pictures were taken last week during that heavy wet snow. As you can see, I was experimenting with adding type in the second collection. This was the easiest-peasiest thing to do ever. Just a couple of clicks and the pictures were out of the old photo bin and into a mosaic.

I Had Company for Luncheon Today

We got our second mini snow today, and who did I see but my little pal. Guess he was really hungry because I did not seem to upset him too much. I have to giggle a bit when I look at his position in the first picture. Can you imagine eating your dinner holding on like that? It is so good to be back online.  I've missed you all and hope that each and every one of you has had a wonderful holiday and you are ready to ring in 2013. Time just flies by when you are busy taking pictures!

Being such a newbe to photographing birds, I had to go to my Sibley's book to try to identify this fine feathered friend. After looking at all the pictures of woodpeckers, I have decided that I THINK it is a Downy. Please help me....am I right or wrong? Remember, I need all the help I can get.

These are both SOOC other than cropping and adding my name.
