I love watching the birds that come to our seed and suet feeders in the back yard. Especially when it's snowing. Here's who showed up the last couple of days. Our Varied Thrush has a bug in her beak! They are carnivores, like their Robin cousins. A pair of Song Sparrows. They were fighting Juncos …

Pacific Northwest Snowstorm-Updated
This is our back yard last Sunday. This is the parking lot at work Monday. This is right out my front door about a half-hour ago. We love standing at our kitchen window and watching the birds at our two feeders (seed and suet). The cat likes watching them, too. We will get 4-6 inches …

Over the Cascade Mountains
Hubby and I had the entire week between Christmas and New Years off work. On Wednesday, we got in the car and drove over the Cascade Mountains to Leavenworth. Here are a couple of pictures I took from inside the moving car. Stevens Pass Ski Area. On our way back in the evening, there was …
White Christmas at the RushBabe Abode
Much to my surprise and delight, when I awoke this mid-morning (off work, so slept really late), it was snowing, hard. Big flakes were falling, making our back yard white and fluffy. Shortly after this, I hung our brand new bird feeder, and filled the suet feeder. I hope the birds come back (we took …

Photo Challenge: Yellow
Here's a little guy I captured through my kitchen window in January of 2011. He is a Townsend's Warbler and he comes around most winters. I love the black mask on the yellow background.
