Walked out on the hill this morning and didn't see a single bird the whole way up and all the way down. I did HEAR a bunch and that counts too, but it was downright foggy out there. At least the mud was frozen so it wasn't so slippery as it has been.
I sang out several times as I walked along on the frozen leaves, "I'm not a deer, I'm not a deer"....I hoped that would deter anyone hunting on us from taking a sound shot and finishing me off....not that I have seen any tracks that I couldn't account for in the past couple of weeks. And I do wear bright orange, but you can't HEAR orange, unless of course you are ingesting illegal substances, which I suppose some of the less responsible among the deer hunters may indeed do.
Anyhow, it was pretty, if not so very birdy out there.
I don't like fog so I just pretend it is a cloud
ReplyDeleteSome very pretty shots!
ReplyDeleteCold can be beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Thanks for taking these photos and sharing them. And you were very smart to keep hollering. I carry a shrill whistle in deer-hunting season, and if I hear a shot nearby I blow that thing like crazy. I also wear a hot-pink coat.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...very cold...and very Christmasy!
ReplyDeleteIs that the same as an hoar frost? I've only experienced it once and it is amazingly beautiful.
