Nature photos from the past week...

 
 
I've been taking photos through out the week, just haven't been posting them. I was actually trying to get a photo of the hummingbirds that are still here, there is a buff bellied and a berryline hummer still here. We had a hard freeze this past week and the hummingbird feeder froze up during the night and they were trying to drink from it. I ended up bringing it in the house and putting fresh sugar water in it for them. They were happy then. I didn't manage to get a photo of the hummers but I did manage to get some decent photos of the Killdeer in the pasture.




My hibiscus got frosted and the birdbath was full of ice.




 
 The cardinals managed to find the new feeders I put out.

 Two mommas watching the young ones to see what they're up too...
 
 

 
 This young one was stalking the bird feeder...

 She didn't care if I was standing right there or not either
 
 
 The other young one was watching the stalker and me and there was no way she was coming over there, nope, no sir...
 
I wasn't able to get a photo of the hummingbird but I did manage to get a photo of the butterfly. I think he and or she was trying to figure out how to get to the sugar water in the feeder. The wasp have it figured out but not the butterflies....

Yearly Christmas season tradition...

 
Our local shopping mall has a big green chair that they put out every Christmas season and every Christmas I like to take Michael over there for a photo session. He has never liked Santa so I came up with an alternative...

One of the many different store displays...
 
I like seeing what type of photo ops the Mall has but I had a problem...Michael was not cooperating and just wasn't in the mood. I'm glad I managed the photos I did. I know as he gets older this yearly tradition may not happen so I enjoy it while I can still get him to pose!

A few photos from my morning...

I thought y'all might be missing the deer, they're still here...
 
 Young ones watching me...
 
 
 Kingbird on the fence
 
 
 Doe checking me out...
 
 
 A doe checking something else out...possibly the horse?
 
 
 
 Here let me scratch that spot for you...Ahh that's the spot!
 
 
 
 Nap time and when it is they just plop down...
 
 
 
 The pool it looks so refreshing...believe me it's not, it's Ohh so COLD!!
 
 
 
 I love the Passion plant blooms but it's literally taking over the deck...I hope the sage catches up soon!
 
 
Deer on the pipe line right of way...
 
It was foggy this morning but then it cleared off and was a gorgeous day! Tonight we had a cold front come through and no rain. Hopefully soon or there won't be much of a wildflower season come spring!

Merry and Bright
I was down at the property today burning brush piles and happened to see sulphur butterflies on the Passion plant blooms. I couldn't Not take a photo. It's December and so unusual to see butterflies and have plants still blooming. I love it!
