Grape hyacinth flowers, also known as Muscari, in our lawn
Tiny but beautiful! I really love grape hyacinth (a.k.a. mascara) flowers. They are more lovely the closer you look, and yet can fade into the background if you’re not careful.

We awakened to a winter wonderland of frost this morning. Ice crystals glimmering and gleaming in the sun. Probably for the last time this season.

Cardinal in Flight
There are many flaws to this photo, but it is so hard to get a nice shot of a cardinal in flight that I had to share it.

Starling in an apple tree
The common starling can be frustrating due to their squawk and tendency to swarm bird feeders. But their feathers under the right light are prismatic.

It’s a wonderful time of year to be a crocus! Chilly enough to ensure you have the garden all to yourself, but warm and sunny enough to joyfully open the flowers every day.

Crow vs Squirrel
We tossed some cashews out into the back yard and it turned into an exciting. The crows gobbled them up, but the squirrels buried them (when burying a nut, apparently SMOOSHING your face into the ground is required).
