Long Night's Moon
Finally clearing off some this evening, allowing me an opportunity to take a few shots at the full moon, known as the Long Night's Moon. Clouds were rolling through, so it wasn't quite as clear as I wanted, but I settled for this one.

Chickadee Ballet
I took this one yesterday. These are the first birds courageous enough to come to the feeders. They are cheerful little guys and I enjoy watching them.

Carolina Wren
Bright and chilly today, with the temps actually supposed to get above freezing. I had watched this Carolina Wren search the back porch this morning, and when he went to the feeders I finally got a shot of him. He didn't want to hold still very long, and he loves the berry-flavored suet.

Snows Birds in Abundance
Another cold morning this morning with an artic front moving through with mixed sun and clouds. The birds were busy this morning, and this junco came in really close. My mother always called these snow birds, because they came in to the feeders with the snow. Several had today as well, including this little fellow. They are difficult to capture because the move so much.

Frozen Nuthatch
Cold this morning, with temps around 18 degrees. I slipped outside this morning and caught this shot of this nuthatch who was very reluctant to fly. I wondered if there was something wrong with him, but I think he was just cold and didn't want to give up his position with the suet.

Fenton Pinch Vase - December 10, 2013
This is the beginning of my Photo Every So Often project. I need to get back to using my photography on a regular basis and this would be a good way to do that. I start with this photo of this vintage pinch vase that I believe was made by Fenton.
