The new snow covered up most of the hints of green from the pine trees and the only color was when a cardinal landed on the snow laden branches waiting his turn at the bird feeder.

The day started out cloudy but at least the snow storm stayed to the north most of day and waited until this evening to drop some snowflakes from the sky.

Taking a winter walk on a Sunday afternoon might have been the activity for some today since the temperature finally got above freezing and even 40 for a few hours. The packed trail will likely be covered over and hidden in the new snow predicted for the next two days.

Maybe the warmer colors of the sunset tonight is the reason the temperature is raising instead of falling. Hopefully it will get above freezing tomorrow like the forecast predicts.

Nestled among the big red barns is a cute little red barn and it would be interesting to peek inside it. At least it has a stove pipe chimney so likely it has some heat inside on a cold winter day.

The old bull thistle head doesn’t appear to attract birds like other dried blossoms, but has a lionlike creature look to it.

A warm coat, even if a bit shaggy, was needed on another very chilly day and this critter looks as forlorn and disgusted about more cold winter days as I do.

Sometimes when snowflakes fall softly from the skies, they can lay gently on other snowflakes which allows their unique crystal shapes to be seen. But the snow this morning was compacted by the freezing rain so individual flakes were hard to find.

The birds were enjoying an above freezing morning as they picked at the Black-eyed Susan dried flower heads eating seeds. The flower stems bent under the weight of the birds as the junco, goldfinch and redpoll consumed their breakfast.

It finally warmed above freezing today although not long enough to caused much melting. At least this small river has a little bit of flowing water under the ice.
