Winter Comes to Carolina

Imagine my surprise when I looked out the door last night and saw this snowy scene!!!

So early the next morning I took a walk on this snow covered trail through the woods. It must have been early because I scared a raccoon and it was gone before I could get a shot!!!

I came out at a farm with cows that looked just as surprised by the snow!

One more picture of this snow covered farm and then it's back to my nice warm home.

B-r-r-r-r....We're not use to this cold and snow in North Carolina!!!

Winter Backyard Birds

Just a few quick shots I took in my backyard today...

Hope you enjoy them. This is my little Pine Warbler...isn't he cute?

My female Cardinal and Finch are sharing a perch.

And last but not least are these darling little Goldfinches.

Sorry...that's all I have time for...hope to see you all again soon!

Thought I'd throw in a Finch just for fun. haha

Autumn Surprise

I was driving down the road and saw a lovely Autumn scene which even included geese.

When I zoomed in a little I was surprised to see something in the foreground that definitely wasn't a goose...and kind of resembled a swan.

Imagine my excitement when I zoomed in even further and discovered it was a rare black swan!

WOW...a black swan...now that's a photo opp if I ever saw one!!!

I learned something else quite interesting when it began to flap its wings...

Their wings are white underneath!!!

What an exciting thing to see on a routine drive home!!!

The contrast between the black and white feathers is really something to behold!

So glad I had my camera along for the drive home on that crisp Autumn day!!!
