I remember we had to travel to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see these in June, now they're just down the road from us! :)

Bluebird looking

Took this a couple of days ago around Feb. 3, 2013. I didn't realize Bluebirds stay up north during the winter. I learn something new every day. Took this photo from the kitchen window that's why there's some spots on it. Once again this year we have had an unusual winter, we got about 6" of snow around Christmas, but then after or around New Years, it warmed up, we had rain and our snow pack MELTED! Since then we get flurries almost every night but it's NOT accumulating, we barely have an inch on the ground right now! We're supposed to get a good snow storm this weekend and I hope we do! We need more snow on the ground or we might be heading for a drought this spring and summer.

About Me

My photo
I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
