Freezing Friends by grammyn

Freezing Friends

These little guys were sharing the fence waiting for a chance at the feeder on one of our sub freezing days. You can tell it was cold by how puffed up they are!
NIce shot!

@kbird61 Thanks ,Kay. Sorry I didn't get the description done before your comment
January 11th, 2014  
@jayberg Oh, Jay. You are so kind. ....and quick. I hadn't even finished the description. I'll be so glad when I can do it all at once again!!
January 11th, 2014  
Lovely shot Katy. They definitely do look rather chilly!
January 11th, 2014  
@kiwiflora Thanks so much, Francoise. It was probably about -3C. Which is very cold for us....and the birds!
January 11th, 2014  
@grammyn -3C is cold! We had -7C last winter which was very unusual as we usually only go down to about -3 or -4. That extra 3 degrees colder makes a big difference!
January 11th, 2014  
@kiwiflora OK. I just checked and more like -11C! (;
January 11th, 2014  
@grammyn That is FAR too cold for me!
January 11th, 2014  
Each with their feather duvets on - sweet and good photo!
January 11th, 2014  
@kiwiflora It was far too cold for all of us!! (;

Vee
Yes, very cute capture!
January 12th, 2014  
@mzzhope @vskolnik thanks, ladies. I can't usually get two together.
January 12th, 2014  
Ad♥rable but I feel sad they look like they're sooo cold:(
January 12th, 2014  
How are you feeling?? You should have been up here for our sub zero days. I felt so sorry for the birds.
January 12th, 2014  
Ya that's what they all say... not heavy just puffed up... great shot
January 12th, 2014  
Great shot. Looks so real!
January 12th, 2014  
@joemuli Thanks, so much, Joey. They WERE cold but survived perhaps because of the food we put out for them.
January 12th, 2014  
@cdonohoue I am doing well. Eager to be done with it all but not healed enough yet. Old age is slow healing!

Glad I wasn't up there for your weather. Ours was bad enough! I felt bad for them too!
January 12th, 2014  
@lesip I know I am not HEAVY!! .....but I AM very puffed up! (; thanks a bunch for all your support, Leslie.
January 12th, 2014  
@prn They ARE real! Lol
January 12th, 2014  
Nice shot of these two birds, Katy. One of my favorites is the cardinal. Nice to see one in this photo.
January 12th, 2014  
@darsphotos Thanks so much, Darlene. Thanks too for all the email info. I really appreciate it. You gave me lots to think about.
January 12th, 2014  
@grammyn You are welcome, Katy. I did not want to overwhelm you with information but wanted to relay to you from my personal experience and what I found on the Stanford site. I figured your husband and you could together go through it. There is lots to think about, worry about and be happy about as well as this is all new to you. Hang in there. You are an amazingly strong person and have the support of so many. Feel free to keep in contact with me as often as you like. Hugs!
January 12th, 2014  
Very nice shot! They look cute all fluffed up like that until you realize how cold they are. Glad you're taking pictures again.
January 12th, 2014  
Nice capture here Katy, and I know they appreciate the snacks
January 12th, 2014  
Great shot, how big is your lens?
January 12th, 2014  
Oh, the poor little things! Great capture of them, Katy.
January 12th, 2014  
The one in the background is like a little puffball, goodness that is cold
January 12th, 2014  
What nice puffy birds. Great capture. How are you, dear Katy?
January 13th, 2014  
Great job! They hated that cold!!!
January 13th, 2014  
Oh, Katy! That one in the background looks so pitifully grumpy! and Red just looks like "Geesh....I give...UP! How far south do I have to go?" I love how you caught Mr. Red in the front with Mr. Grumpy in the back. :0) Such a cute shot. Poor birds, but thank goodness it did not last long.
January 13th, 2014  
@espyetta Lol! I love how you see such great personality in each of them. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to comment. Are you healthy again?
January 13th, 2014  
@grammyn Hi Katy! I am much much better! I came home tired and coughing again on Friday, but after resting this weekend, I am feeling pretty good! Thanks for asking. How are you doing?
January 13th, 2014  
@espyetta Better every day. Time is mostly what I need. Glad to hear you are better. It sounds a bit like work is what you need to eliminate if it hits you every Friday! (;
January 13th, 2014  
Awww, poor babies, they sure do look cooooold! They were probably so delighted to find your feeder!!
January 13th, 2014  
Awwww cute widdle birds!
January 13th, 2014  
@eudora You are right it is kind of sad that they have to be so cold to be so cute! Thanks, Diane. It is good to be back a bit too.
January 13th, 2014  
@digitalrn Thanks, Rick. I think helping them is essential when it is so cold!
January 13th, 2014  
@mhatch Thanks, Mark. I have a bridge camera with a really good zoom.
January 13th, 2014  
@kwiksilver Thanks, Gillian. It has warmed up a bit so they are OK now.
January 13th, 2014  
@claireuk Isn't he? Thank you so much Claire and for the follow too.
January 13th, 2014  
@anazad511 Thanks a bunch, Ana. I am well and thanks for asking.
January 13th, 2014  
@spair Thanks Susan and they sure did as did we all!!
January 13th, 2014  
@luvmynynix I think they appreciated the food and it was entertaining to watch them.
January 13th, 2014  
@bobfoto Lol! Such an uncharacteristic comment from the big hairy white guy!
January 13th, 2014  
They are puffed up!!!! beautifully composed.....you are good in that halo device!!!
January 13th, 2014  
@ruthmouch YOU are way too generous with your praise. Thanks though! (;
January 13th, 2014  
@grammyn - Not the first time I have used the word 'widdle'.
January 13th, 2014  
@bobfoto Please do not tell me in what other context you have resorted to such language! (;
January 14th, 2014  
@grammyn - Puppies.
January 14th, 2014  
Meg
nice shot...lucky you to be able to take their photo!
January 15th, 2014  
@bobfoto LOL. OK I can picture that!! (;
January 15th, 2014  
Glad you got them with one camera and not with one stone. Fluffy cuteness!
January 15th, 2014  
Oh and I really like the geometry in the bokeh!
January 15th, 2014  
@m9f9l Lol! It took me a minute. The geometry is from a brick house.......not THAT kind!! (;
January 15th, 2014  
@grammyn - and Kitties.
January 15th, 2014  
Tee hee..now I have the song stuck in my head.
January 16th, 2014  
hahahahaha, that bird on the left is so funny!
January 18th, 2014  
@darylo He looks so grumpy but it WAS cold!
January 18th, 2014  
Hello, "Angry Birds!" What a beautiful composition!
January 18th, 2014  
@marilyn Lucky composition. Really a quick point and shoot but doesn't that one in the back look furious?
