Whoa!! See what Russia’s Kamchatka Region is getting?!

Russians are used to harsh winters, but this is worse than usual. https://twitter.com/electroversenet/status/2013280295341179216?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Whee!!
I am proud to introduce Jocelyn Anderson, Bird Photographer
This is a woman whose account I follow on X/Twitter. She posts the most wonderful videos, of her "Hand of Snacks," wherein she holds out her hand full of bird snacks, and they come and eat. She must have an iron arm, because she can hold still for long periods while the birds come to …

Yeah, it’s late, but it’s my blog and I can do whatever I want. Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #328: Winter
Next to Autumn, Winter is my favorite season. I like cold weather, and I'd rather have it too cold than too warm. You can always bundle up against the cold, but you can't get more naked than naked when it's too hot. And believe me, I experienced both situations during my two years in grad …
Sunday Stills: Takin’ it Easy with my #Feathered Friends
I will freely admit that our yard isn't quite as enticing (or as large) as Terri's is for birds, due to our many squirrels. We have one seed-feeder that's squirrel-proof, and two suet feeders. One suet feeder that would be easy for squirrels to get at, is always filled with hot-pepper suet, which the birds …

Lens-Artists Challenge #107 Winter
I like Winter. I went to Minnesota to grad school in the early 1970s, and I quickly decided I much preferred winter to summer (98 degrees, 98% humidity-ugh!). In Minnesota, winter is bitter cold, with temperatures as low as -45 at night, but the sun is shining most days. There's no more beautiful sight than …
Winter Wonderland. It’s Snow-homish County! Updated Tuesday 1-14
The news media and local government have been talking about nothing else for the past few days, than the huge winter storm that was bearing down on us. We saw weather maps with swirls of clouds, and were admonished to "prepare for the storm" by laying in supplies of blankets, candles, flashlights, and food that …

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest winter
I just had to take this screen-shot this morning on my phone. I use WeatherBug, recommended to me by a "genius" at the Apple Store. As I heard when I lived for awhile in the Midwest, nobody ever shoveled 2 feet of "partly cloudy" off their doorstep. Or 2 feet of rain, either. Our rain …
Welcome to Winter
By the Calendar, and by the Sun, today is the first day of Winter. Sunset today was 4:18PM. Since in my neck of the woods it's 43 degrees and raining, with nearly two inches of rain in the past three days, I went back to the Archives of Winters Past for some photos. Happy Winter …
