Yes, the snowstorm hit today. We have 7 inches of snow and sleet on top of that. As I write this it is sleeting heavily. I have found that it isn't easy to take pictures in a snowstorm. Sometimes those flakes just get in the way of the shot - as with the above Dark eyed Junco. But I liked how he blended in so well with the trees and the snow.
The birds were out in full force at the feeders. I had 30 birds at one time in the trees and the feeders outside on the deck. I have really been trying to enjoy the seasons as they come - and not wish my time away, however, I REALLY want Spring to come. Early would be good!
Hope you all have a Safe and Happy Weekend!
Love your pictures!! We are not getting snow here today but we've also had lots of birds at the feeders. We put out shelled peanuts and the bluejays have enjoyed them!
ReplyDeletePretty birds Kerri...you sure have a nice backdrop to shoot them on! Still shaking my head over all the snow coming to Virginia!
ReplyDeleteOnce again your photos are absolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have a talent!
The snow is coming down fast and heavy here.
Wow! Great pics, found your sight through a friend that now lives in Blacksburg. We don't get much snow here in Arkansas but we did two years ago and the birds went crazy! Fun to watch! I love your work!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the snow and birds today too, also like you, I am so ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!
You simply get the best shots.. every single time.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand this idea about enjoying each season,BUT,I am sooo looking forward to spring and the arrival of more birds.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Love your pictures of the blue jay and the junco. I know that the flakes can be challenging, but I think the falling snow adds to a picture. Hoping we'll have a little snow here tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYour bird photography continues to just blow me away. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful these photos are! I especially love the little flecks of icy snow on the blue jay's beak. You take such AMAZING photos, Kerri! :) I am sorry to hear the weather is bad, but I am glad you and yours are safe. The storm is going to bypass us in New England, I think.
ReplyDeleteHave a great night...Theresa
Great photography, Kerri!!
ReplyDeleteI love the snow falling in the shots. It's a totally differnt feel. Stay warm, dear

I love the snow!
ReplyDeleteLove your photography Kerri, the birds are beautiful, and the snow.
ReplyDeleteI dont want any more tho, want spring to come.lol.
Super photos Kerri! We had snow yesterday that was gone by the afternoon, Im ready for spring as well.
ReplyDeleteWow - That second shot is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteReally like that one!
With so many birds flying south for the winter, we don't get much of a selection here. I hate to say I am getting tired of the same ones - I must have a gazillion photos of downey and hairy woodpeckers. I feel bad - all I am photographing are sleeping trees with snow covered cornfields. Not much variety - I think I have hit the doldrums of winter in the North east.
LOVE the bluejay!
ReplyDeleteLove these shots, Kerri, particularly the Blue Jay one.
ReplyDeleteI really like that Jay shot! the branches and snow with his blue is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are spectacular. We don't have that junco here and it's great to see it, especially against the snow. Your other pictures are really great too. Diane
ReplyDeleteYou may be dying for Spring but I'm still loving your winter shots!
ReplyDeleteKerri, lovely snowbird shots! Sometimes the falling snowflakes cover important parts of the photograph but when they don't they can really enhance the mood of the pic. This is a great catch of the bluejay, nice pose & excellent background.
ReplyDeleteThis are great photos! I don't think the snow got in the way at all - if anything I think it adds to the effect. I can hear the silence of snowfall! (my favorite sound. :o))
ReplyDeleteI love all your snowy photos Kerri. The birds just seem to pop so much more!
