Some Honest to Goodness Blue Skies

First in a long long time. Cold (but not like my sister in law in Colorado Springs with -2 this morning) and frosty early. Perfect way to celebrate our 47th anniversary.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Fantastic woodpecker photo! What brilliant colors, in both Mr. Bird and the blue skies. My parents live in the mountains above CO Springs and have been telling me about the bone-chilling cold they're enduring right now. Ugh. They at least have snow, something pretty as a consolation prize for the frigid winter temps.
