Ray went out early to buy some bundles of wood and fire starter. We had parkas on in the cabin. Ray asked me to make a list of what to buy at the market as he knew we weren’t leaving the cabin today. It was 39 degrees when he drove in to town at 8:30am.

A very cold morning. Ray woke me to come see the snow falling. It only snowed for a few minutes.

We really needed a fire to keep us warm in the cabin. It was an inside kinda day.

I pulled out the vivitar transceiver and receiver and shot photos from inside.

This little guy and lots of his brothers kept begging for food. They were cold too.

Later in the day I ventured out on the porch and used some on camera flash to photograph the tamer birds, like this baby who is getting used to me.

The chipmunks are much more interested in food than running away from me.
In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.


The baby bird with the wild do is so precious.
I love the chipmunk on the stairs! And the chubby checked squirrel — what a close-up! Can just reach out on stroke his fur! Your photos are truly amazing!
