Snow in NC

week of 1/10 to 1/15

It snowed about 4 inches on Monday, breaking a 100+ yr. old record and closing schools for three days! Here is my deck during the "storm". Didn't amount to much to this Jersey girl.


Bought a new swivel chair and coffee table. Rearranged the furniture. Rug arriving Monday. Still looking for advice from anyone who has some decorating ideas!
Cape Fear Audubon Society organized a Bird Hike to Greenfield Lake. It was wonderful to be back outside "shooting" birds. Here are some of my favorites, starting with a yellow-rumped warbler.
an American Coot...
an angry wood duck, that was so close this picture did not have to be cropped and no zoom!
Northern Shoveler...
Ruddy Duck.....
the wood duck hanging out with a group of mallards.....
wood duck trying to show off....
Muscovy Duck (variant)...
Song Sparrow.....
Ring-Billed Gull...
Pileated Woodpecker (one of my favorites)...
Gold-Crowned Kinglet in flight....
and when I got home there were goldfinches at the feeder on my deck!
Going to see Black Swan at the movies tonight. Trip to Greensboro, NC was cancelled because of weather last week so will try again. Am enjoying my yoga classes and am looking forward to warmer weather this week.

  1. What a great assortment of bird/waterfowl photos! I viewed each one at it's larger size. And as we seem to be in sync lots of the time, I have a few duck shots of my own I'm posting in the next day or two! Also... your home looks so warm and inviting! That, too, looks great in the larger format.
