Sky Watch Friday: Snow and The Woodpecker

I haven't taken too many photos this week until today. I have had serious car problems and to fix the car, I can't buy my camera this spring. And I am, frankly, tired of taking landscapes while the snow if falling and blowing. I took this photo of this female hairy woodpecker this afternoon after school and it makes me smile. The woodpeckers are flirting brazenly in the tree this week (and the girl woodpeckers are carrying on in a nearly embarrassing fashion). They are a joy to watch. We are having a heavy snowfall this afternoon and tonight. 

Thank you for visiting.

  1. She looks so young and innocent (great photo!) but that can be deceptive... us guys have to look out for "innocent women" and their nefarious intentions...

  9. Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! My favorite post of the week!

    (and I can sympathize with having to give up getting your camera because of something else... your reason is car repairs - mine is taxes)

  11. This is a wonderful photo, Andree. Sorry about your car problems! And the white landscape is getting very old this year, isn't it?

    By the way, I have my eye on a Cannon Rebel too.

  13. I love your woodpecker picture..it is just wonderful.
    My butcher gives me large pieces of suet for the birds.
    Suet is placed in onion nets close to my window. Here I can watch all our woodpeckers arriving and feeding as much as they like.
    Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comment.
