Frozen

Me, not the bird. I'm tough, but it was freezing again today. It's hard to snap pics with frozen fingers. The sun was shining, but the wind was bitter.

It doesn't seem to bother the birds. There were plenty of them around the yard today. Once I got a few decent pics, I called it quits for the day. I've been snuggled up with my best friend, the heater. :0)

Thank you for your kind comments on yesterday's little Robin!!! :0)
