Feeding birds.

Feeding songbirds during a snowfall. American Goldfinch (left) and House Sparrow (right).

All tucked in.

And emitting a gentle, rippling snore.

Finches at the feeder.

It’s good to have a dog.

Perches.

An American Goldfinch perches on the shepherd’s crook which supports two bird feeders below it.

Fitzi.

We are so blessed to have him.

Favours.

Soft lamplight favours Lucy.

Blessed and most welcome.

The sun shone for basically the entire day today. It has been quite some time since the last mostly cloud-free day. A blessed and most welcome event.

Sunshine!

I hope that those of you who celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Orthodox Christmas, the western New Year, had a joyous and safe time!

The sun shone for about two hours yesterday. A notable event because it had shined for only about four hours total during the previous ten or so days.
