ReplyDeleteYour birds and squirrels never fail to make my day, Karen!! And I needed that today -- doctor visit, MRI, grocery shopping -- well, you get the picture, I'm pooped and want to just sit and look and your cute critters!!

ReplyDeleteTerrific profile shot of the hawk! Also, looks like the squirrel is seriously considering going for a slide.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the birds and squirrel. The squirrel is a hoot on the snowy slide.
ReplyDeleteMagic. I suspect that I would get nothing done at your house - except for pressing my nose on the windows.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I love the idea of a squirrel going down a slide!
ReplyDeleteWow, a lot of activity within your vicinity and great captures. Especially love the hawk. :)

ReplyDeleteGood to know that squirrels know how to enjoy themselves.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
The Grand Canyon was remarkable - and I think I'm glad I went in the winter - I suspect the parts I saw would be very crowded in summer.

Look out below!!! Squirrel comin' down!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,Karen. Nice captures. Your photos are very beautiful.I like the squirrel shots very much. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!! your out back is just like my out back!! lucky us!!
ReplyDeleteLove your out back. The Downy is one of my favorites and the squirrel on the slide made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteYour bird portraits are always so stellar. Wish I could turn off the snow for you. Bet that is getting really old. :/
ReplyDeleteTake heart Karen - spring will come. Yesterday I saw my first Eastern Meadowlarks and a Song Sparrow.
ReplyDeleteTake heart-- endless hot spells can be just as boring, but you have a very interesting back yard to keep your spirits up!
ReplyDeleteVery cute birds and squirrel.
