For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi again and Happy Boxing Day! It is cloudy again, but mild, with a temperature of 16F (-9C) and a little light snow at the moment. The kids are playing hockey at the outdoor skating rink across the street. There are people walking their dogs, other people just out for a walk or perhaps heading to one of the stores down the street. And here we are with another of my favorite bird photos. I have used a similar one before, but this one is different.

These are Cedar Waxwings that have come to eat the petals off the apple blossoms.
Enjoy your day everyone and God bless!

Greetings everyone and Happy Boxing Day! Boxing Day. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, shopping days of the year. Also the biggest day for returning things. People lining up to return all the gifts they received at Christmas so they can buy something they actually want. People go crazy, they get impatient (a slight understatement), they get in fights (why do you think they call it Boxing Day?). Okay, that’s not the reason. Though sometimes it fits. Sigh. Anyway, on a much calmer note we have today’s photo to enjoy. At least, I hope you will enjoy it.

Yes, even dried grass gone to seed can be beautiful, like this somewhat reddish variety, which I think is quite beautiful.
Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless!
