It's Elfin' Cold

 Which is my way of saying that temperatures are colder and weather conditions are worse right now in Xenia, Ohio, than they are in North Pole, Alaska!

 Waning moon...
 Frosty...
 Beautiful in the trees...
 Deer scrounging for food...
 Noticing me, a hundred yards away (or more)...
 Giving me that look: who ARE you?
 Wind and snow are at work up here...
 Sculpting lips...
 Frowning, as we are...
And yet lovely in their delicate, frigid form.
 My "winning" shot of the week...perfect light!
 Rivers are freezing over...
 Even the feisty Little Miami...
Actually, it is COLDER than it looks.
I am extravagant with seed....
 Keeping the critters fat and warm.
 This cardinal is really going after those seeds!
 Momma looking about...
 Chatting with Brother Sparrow...
I KNOW there must be a sunflower seed around here somewhere!

Stay warm and safe, my friends...we are in the midst of an old-fashioned winter.

Wow! That sunshine on the creek is totally amazing! Looks as if we will be in the deep freeze for the entire week. The high for our Milwaukee daughter Monday will be minus 4.

Yes, please share with our furry/feathery friends. And I love the wind sculped snow pics. Nice! :)

Oh warm is not an issue here. It was 73 degrees today. Unfortunately we are on drought alert and fires have been cropping up here and there. Makes me nervous for summer.

Your winning shot definitely is a great one!
