Pine Siskins are cool...I have to get a new digital card reader for my computer...my old computer read off the camera, but this puter can't do it with the software I have, or I would show you some pics.

We may get snow showers on Wednesday, and it will be freezing every night...for awhile, but that just gives me a longer time to get everything for my garden ready!

Great shot! I haven't gotten a good one of any of the birds today. Wasn't really trying. I did take a few in the yard though. The birds just love this tree.

Great Nuthatch shot! This thread is going to be so much fun as more birds move into our yards and we get more skillful at capturing them with our cameras.

It's absolutely beautiful here in Georgia today. I'll be working in the yard all day and shaving my golden retriever as well. Cools him off and prevents the spring shedding.

I hope you got some heavy duty clippers for that job. That kind of hair dulls the heck out of clipper blades.

His hair is worse than most. He came from a line of show dogs. I have some good clippers.

I've been watching a couple of those this morning, and when they are busy eating, not much bothers them. I was making a heck of a racket at one point trying to run the Grackles off. I have this loud cowbell type windchime thing in my kitchen by the window. Didn't even phase him. He just kinda looked around to see what the commotion was and went right back to his meal.

Well, I'm outta here for awhile. It is just too nice a day not to take advantage of. I'm going riding. Check with y'all later.

Hey, thanks for the ping:). It is glorious here too. I just came in from a ride on one of my horses. I'm haveing lunch then will take off on another.

I've been working in my garden some too this week. I transplanted some iris, and bought 3 colors of primroses at Wal-mart. My hyacinth is getting close to blooming. It has actually multiplied to 3 this year:)

Daffodils...HMMMMMM, I would say to thin them after they have bloomed. But what do I know:)...mine haven't bloomed for 2 years now, an I have no clue why..?? They were doing good for several years, then I moved them. They come up ever year, but they don't bloom.
