Yesterday I got some cool photos of birds at the bird feeder. Carolina Chickadees, young male Goldfinches, Tufted Titmice, a male Cardinal and a Dark-eyed Junco.(pictured above.)
While looking for a poem by Robert Browning I came upon this. :-D
Once upon a winter day

| Once upon a winter day
Gray clouds passed swiftly across the sky As shapely snowflakes fell steadily down, Covering the land in a dazzling white Leaving a winter calling card on the ground.
Once upon a winter day The snow-edged creek silently wept Near the shadows of the tall pine trees Trimmed in a glittering white lace, Creating an impressive display in the breeze.
Once upon a winter day Branches drooped to the impassable road Due to the weight of the snow. Icicles hung from the dormant trees In view of the shattered daylight glow.
Once upon a winter day Nothing is heard but rubbing tree limbs And a stray dog faintly barking, The vibrant sound of a frightened deer, A broken tree branch suddenly falling.
Once upon a winter day The distant snow-covered hills Loomed in the path of the gloomy sky, Where the northerly wind briskly growled As chickadees and juncos fluttered by.
