Daily Pics 2020…#17.
Good morning from Muffin and I and Happy Friday to everyone! Well, it’s not quite so cold this morning which is nice, but there is a bit of a snowstorm headed our way which is supposed to start later this morning. So that’s not so good. But perhaps the storm will miss us this time too. We have missed other snowstorms this winter so it’s always possible. It is still dark right now, but soon daylight will appear and the birds will begin to arrive. I imagine they will be quite busy today, they always are busier when snow is coming. Guess we will see what happens shortly.
But for now, it’s time for more beauty from our wildflowers…
And we will begin with this bright beauty, the fringed loosestrife. Bright yellow is perfect happiness for a dull cloudy day.
And continuing with another sunny yellow beauty, the yellow avens. This is a common wildflower here and always provides cheery sunshine no matter what the weather.
Thank you for joining us again today as we show some of our local area wildflowers. I hope you have a great day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Nature’s Art #06.
Hi everyone on this very chilly January day! It was -29C (-20F) this morning but felt more like -36C (-33F). That’s getting to be more like a normal winter temp now. Not that I was missing these colder days, I wasn’t. The milder temps are much better, and they will be coming back briefly tomorrow and Saturday, then back to cold. So much up and down this winter. We still don’t have much snow, but that can change quickly, February and March are the 2 snowiest months for us normally. I had a nice treat yesterday, a new bird showed up, actually more than 50 of them came by for about half an hour. They were Bohemian waxwings, a very beautiful winter bird from further north. Unfortunately it was snowing yesterday so it was hard to get a good pic, but I tried anyway and I hope to post a pic later today.
But now, time for our art in nature pics for today…
Just had to share another picture of rocks under water, they look so cool. For perspective, the 3 largest rocks are about 3 feet (a little less than a meter) across.

And there we have today’s selections for our art in nature. I hope you all have a wonderful day and God bless!
