For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone on this very sunny day of December! It just feels so good to see that sun shining out there on the trees and making the snow sparkle like white diamonds lying upon the ground. There is some wind today though and that is making it feel cooler than the actual temperature. Still not much bird activity today which is so very odd. For a while there was getting to be more activity at the feeders, then suddenly there is hardly a bird shows up each day. I certainly hope that changes soon though.
But for now, let’s take a look at some more art from nature…
I showed a brighter yellow leaf before with water drops, now here is another, though less colorful, leaf with a nice pattern of water drops after an autumn shower.
Here is a nice oak leaf with some shadowy patterns of grass spreading across it.
And there we have today’s art in nature collection for you to enjoy. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Love it. Nature isn’t moving in it’s natural order.
My dad and I seen birds flying away for the winter (V formation), like on Christmas Day. He said, “Mother Nature has everything upside down. This weather is confusing the birds.” 🤔

Hi Tiffany! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, sometimes the birds will fly the wrong way, but not for long, they turn around again before getting into the danger zone for weather.

I noticed that, hard to keep track of your posts when it isn’t every day. Especially because they never show up in my reader. So I have to try and remember what day your new post comes out. Not easy for my remembering.😂😂😹😹🙄
