Is More of This Coming?

Our recent ice storm was quite destructive. Many trees and power lines came down, thousands were without power for a week or more, there were accidents and injuries on icy streets, and many others stayed in for the duration of it. Now they are predicting more of the same for Saturday, with up to an inch of ice covering surfaces. It won't last as long this time, as Sunday will bring warming and rain, which will take care of the ice. This is what our bushes looked like after the first night of our last storm, and it got worse. I am sure it was hard for this little Junco too!

Awesome picture but poor cute little birdie. I always wonder how they don't get frost bite. Linda S

Excellent image Vern. We had similar conditions a few days ago, now it is colddddd and next week it is expected to be mild again.

This junco is sprightly in spite of the weather - and you must have been so too to take such a wonderful photo.

The birds do not seem to mind the weather conditions!

An amazing winter image. Glad the little bird has plenty of feathers to keep him warm.

fantastic coloration

Capture is superb. Color composition is crazy good. Poor birdie looks dazed and confused.

What a beautiful image Vern! BV
Ice can be a real hassle for humans ~ hope you don't lose power this weekend!

A sweet bird, very nice shot in the icy branches. Birds are pretty tough as long as they can eat. V

Delightful shot, Vern. Really pretty. Poor little Junco though, that can't be fun for him.

It's too cute!

tough times in the Northwest for all manner of creatures...snow here tonight too, and Sunday, and maybe next week as well..it must be difficult to scrabble for food..
Bea.06-Jan-2017 05:42
Such a pretty picture, it must be so cold, hope the little birds can survive this icy blast.
Liz Bickel06-Jan-2017 05:40
Beautiful image! Lovely lighting on both the pretty little Junco & the icy branches. But I can hardly believe how much ice you have been getting this season.
Long Bach Nguyen06-Jan-2017 05:31

Helen Betts06-Jan-2017 05:20
