My backyard changes rather dramatically with the seasons. For the past three or four years, we have had snow every winter. I have to say, I really love what the snow does with the various features in the yard. The heap in the front is our birdbath, with an ornamental grass plant, and a concrete …
Let's see, am I a Bird Feeder? The photos and video below should give the answer. Pine Siskin. Downy Woodpecker. Blurry since I took the picture through a glass door. Red-breasted Nuthatch.

I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
