Let it Snow

Queer isn't it but as is to be expected really :-/

Lovely pictures by the way.
Is the Tit in the first picture a Great or Coal Tit ?

Please no more snow for us :o((
It is pouring with rain this morning, and I feel happy and healthy for the first time since the before Christmas :o)))
The dark depression that has been pressing in my mind has lifted and disappeared. I really could not cope with it any more.

I'm glad you like the stuff being as you have it. But you can keep it. lol.
=^..^= =^..^=

I especially like the bird photos :o)

Sussex County, Delaware from West Sussex, U.K. - the novelty of snow has worn thin now - pleased to say it's reached 7 degrees today but still no sign of the sun.

Like the bird photo, but sorry i'm with Hywel on this one, looks nice on photo and other than that i hate it.

And me, Carol - I think we'll form a new GOY group, shall we? The GOY Snow-haters!

Beware, Healerwitch - you can get TOO much of the white stuff.....:-(((

I will join you in that Spritz........

I wish I could enjoy it. I think it's nice to be able to enjoy something. I'm glad there are some people it doesn't affect like it does with me. :o)

SIGH...I think we're in a minority, Hywel. Lots of people do like it.

Yes I think so. Never mind, I like rain. Most people don't.

That's because you're Welsh, I reckon! LOL.

lol :D

louise its a coal tit no yellowish body like blue tit and great tit, lovely pics healer... i do like snow pics :o))

Sorry folks this bird in pic #1 is not a tit of any kind...it is a black capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)

Hywel and Spritzhenry and everyone else that hates snow...I am sick of it now! They are saying another 2-3" tonite and ice and snow combined friday...grrrrrrr!

I need spring! Today is "Ground Hog Day" here...that means if the ground hog sees his shadow, another 6 weeks of winter weather....The ground hog saw his shadow.....dang it! =^..^=

I thought the Chickadee was in the Tit family - this bird is almost identical to a Coal Tit, have a Google and see.

is that us name for coal tit healer, it looks identical to me, yes its tit family louise just looked to

Kewl ...you learn something new everyday!

:o))

So what is Gound Hog day? whats it all about, have heard of it there must be more to it than shadows.

Okay Bjs I went and looked it up.....

German tradition holds that if the sun comes out on Candlemas, the precursor to Groundhog Day, the hedgehog (or badger) will see its shadow and six more weeks of winter will follow. When German settlers came to Pennsylvania they continued this tradition, using groundhogs instead of hedgehogs to predict the weather.

The first official Groundhog Day was celebrated on February 2, 1886 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, with a proclamation in The Punxsutawney Spirit by the newspaper's editor, Clymer Freas: "Today is groundhog day and up to the time of going to press the beast has not seen its shadow." The legendary first Groundhog Day trip to Gobbler's Knob was made the following year by a group of spirited groundhog hunters who dubbed themselves "The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club." Clymer, a member of the club, used his editorial clout to proclaim that Phil, the Punxsutawney Groundhog, was the one and only official weather prognosticating groundhog.

So there we have it! lol :o))

Thank you Healerwitch
Now i will google groundhog to see what it looks like

I have gone off s- - w anybodys s - - w anywhere out there, but I did like the bird.

I'm also fed up with this winter we are having! Yesterday we had snow showers all day here! The snow didn't stay on the ground but at times it looked just like a blizzard! Today we had a brief sleet shower early in the morning then close to 1pm we had a very brief snow shower made up of tiny balls of snow that cover everything in seconds. Fortunately it didn't last 2 mins but even so it had begun to settle on the ground.

We are forecast more snow Thursday night / Friday morning. :-(

Good luck Balcony...hope yours turns out to be just a dusting! :o)

We haven't had any snow today, Thursday, but the previous days this week we have had plenty of snow showers. I hope the snow forecast for tonight doesn't come about!

Well Balcony...here it is saturday, and I am finally back on ...due to the second blizzard in a week! We were lucky this time, no power outages!

But I was out in the wind and snow taking pics of birds in the feeder when my camera died!

Ooops! Was it the battery, or worse?

Maybe it doesn't like s**w either. LOL.

I found out it has a small battery along with the lithium rechargable, so I changed that, and made sure the other was fully charged...still the same problem.

But maybe someone on here knows about cameras....it is a Canon EOS Rebel 300D....When I take a pic the top 1/3 is clear and visible, the bottom 2/3's is black! !!!!HELP!!!!

That's a shame! I'm afraid I don't know anything about cameras. :-( I hope somebody can help you.

thanks Balcony..my son thinks i need a new shutter system! yikes!!!
