The next time that I post photos, I hope I can include some action around the bird feeder. Although there are experts who recommend feeding the birds year-round, I usually wait to put seeds in the feeder until it’s really hard for birds to find other food. As of this moment, they are still having a good time with all the berries and naturally occurring seeds in our yard.
I continue to take outdoor walks in the cold, identifying birds with my Merlin app for birdsong. I’m also working with a grandson to learn more about birds through Wingspan, the board game. (I blogged about it here but didn’t understand then how difficult it is to learn the rules.)
Here are a few more photos: from cold, frosty walks; from a nice, warm art gallery featuring a circus of skate-egg-case performers; and from Kristina’s visit to balmy North Carolina.

Love milkweed. I also like the mobile piece in the gallery that is red, black and purple.
Thanks. I think I better go back and find who made that sculpture. It has such a joyful vibe!
Yes, it would be cool to know the name of the sculptor!
Nice photos! And that is some circus. Love that holly.
I love artists! Imagine seeing such possibilities in skates’ egg cases!
