spent the most wonderful hour in the garden…

it was chilly, but I’d seen numerous birds at the feeders so I moved a lounge chair next to the garage door, wrapped myself up in a blanket and sat still and watched for the visitors coming to the feeders…

there were juncos, white throated sparrows, maybe a song sparrow, a couple of chickadees, and either male and female purple or house finches… they were all over the feeders and on the ground…

there were also two mice… which is okay, as long as they are outside…

I was thrilled to sit and watch and didn’t take out the camera until just before I came in…

this is one of my favourite pictures…

recycle…

was a long day… started out in the dark and made it home a bit before dark… the sad part about that is that it is getting dark earlier and earlier every day…

took a few shots of the juncos as they were filling up at the feeder…

and then I had to take out the garbage and recycling… thankfully Google reminded me… which was handy because I don’t like to do it late at night and I have to leave early tomorrow for a dental appointment…

sounds…

yesterday got a pretty good shot of the Canada geese flying over the zoo…

  
they certainly announce themselves when they head out… there are a lot of them there… as we walked we had to pay attention to where we were putting our feet, lol… the sound always stops me in my tracks…

saw a few of the bears while we were there… 

  
this one was eating something from the pond… not quite sure what it was, but it kept it entertained for a long time… 

started out rainy at the beginning of the day… heard a new birdsong, but couldn’t place it… we looked out and saw a ton of junkos chattering away on the driveway having a snack…

 this was just before we headed to the grocery store… they were very busy… they are back for their trip down south… usually see them early in the spring as they head north…

by the time we came out of the store the sky was clear and we put  the cushions out in the garden…

the boys were picked up around three and I sat out in the garden for a while longer…

bunny stopped by…

  
stayed around for a while… 

only sounds in the garden were the chickadees and the waterfall…

we were all enjoying the quiet, lol…
