Friends in the Yard

Once the weather breaks, it gets easy to forget about blogging. Almost a week since the last post, I decided to take a day or two to look at some other garden scenes, since we looked at the pond, the waterfall, and the koi last post.

We have been quite fortunate in the past few years to host several cardinals, both male and female and often in multiples flying, drinking, walking in the grass. One of my favorite locations to see the amazing reds is in our red twig dogwoods in the leafless months. The bright color jumps out to brighten a winter morning or one in early spring.

While we have been told that leaving bread out for the birds might not be a good idea for the health of the birds, we really don't worry too much about how much of the bread actually gets to birds. This squirrel ate half of the slice where he found it and carried to remainder off to save for later.

More shots of our landscape and friends in the next post.
