A View From Within

So what do you do on a gray, snowy, cold day?

 Look out the windows, of course!

Looking out the upstairs front window.

Looking out the master bathroom window.

Looking out the balcony door window.

Looking out my home office window.

Looking out the front porch window at all the birdies!

Snow is blanketing My Mountain Green while I enjoy the warming fireplace, sipping my coffee,
and catching up on my blog reading.

Thanks for stopping by My Mountain Green.

Happy New Year, Mr. Flicker!

As I look out the front window on this 1st day of 2014,  one of the most beautiful birds that visits My Mountain Green greets me!  My response...

"Happy New Year, Mr. Flicker!"

Wishing all my friends a 

Happy, Healthy and Adventuresome New Year!  

Do You See What I See?

As I peer out the window on an early snowy morning, I blink my eyes to make sure that what I think I see is really there. 

Do you see what I see?

"If I stay still maybe she won't see me...." has to be what this Northern Flicker is thinking.

He sits frozen what seems like forever, 

suddenly he flies over to the suet feeder

turning to look straight at me and the camera

as if to say "go away, I want to dine alone".

Encounters with Northern Flickers are very common in My Mountain Green, yet something about trees covered in snow makes the experience extra special.
