Sunday pictures

I anticipate that every winter I'll be taking the same pictures and posting them. Just because.

The camera we've had for years petered out, and we replaced it a couple months ago. Still getting the hang of macro.

There's something about small clumps of snow and ice...

And something about this...

Here's Anna on our mini sledding run...

...and climbing the woodpile...

One day last week before heading out to work...

Justin's been experimenting with the camera...the picture in the back is one I drew way back when in my art days. It's kind of big and creepy--ideal for the basement by the pool table.

And Justin masters the macro....

Here's the possum spot under the deck, for any of you following the Facebook saga of the Pepper/possum stand-off. It continues. Daily.

And Eddie, posing before my office window where he spends a lot of time bird watching since I hung a bird feeder on the bush just a couple feet from the window. I've never paid attention to birds, but in the last few days, I've been identifying several with Anna. She uses the Birds of North America guide and I use an online bird identification site. So far, we have finches, chickadees, jays, cardinals, titmice, juncos, and mourning doves. There's also a hawk that keeps his distance, but does perch in our tallest front yard tree sometimes.

And here's Rocky, Anna's fish. Or Jasper. Anna's other fish. Two fish, two tanks. This is one of them.
