I was quite restrained in my photo selections this week – mostly because
Dr. M posted lots of pictures here
and here.
They’re great pictures – check them out!

We
visited our local fen today. It was kind of cold.
Monday,
January 20th
A host of sparrows waits for Dr.
M to fill the feeders.
The construction crew isn’t doing
a very good job of keeping our cairn clear.
Tuesday,
January 21st
Sunset on Dr. M’s way home.
Wednesday,
January 22nd
A murder of crows cavorting over
the sunflower bones.
My lunch for tomorrow (that’s
diced sweet peppers in the small container).
Thursday,
January 23th
Buffy the buffalo with her goat
sidekicks (one of whom is staring at Dr. M – imagine!)
My soup, with the diced peppers
mixed in – yummy!
So, I had a bit of a mishap with
my hair this day. I don’t wash it every day & some mornings it isn’t as “fresh”
as I might like. I had the bright idea of putting some powder in it. But the
only powder I had was BLUE (with a peppermint fragrance). Yeah that was dumb. It
wouldn’t all brush out so my scalp had this nice blue tint. So I pulled it
back. Sigh.

Our
front yard.
Cardinal
in the snow squall. It was windy!
Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
If you hadn't pointed it out, I don't think I would have noticed the blue tint in your hair, LOL! I'll bet that just made your day, huh? You could have just told everyone you were trying out for a part in the new smurf movie! ;0)
ReplyDeleteYou are brave walking around in the cold like that. I'm guessing it wasn't -8 on the day you visited the fen?
Ha! No...it was in the 30s F I think. Nothing like the bitter cold days.
DeleteYou probably should have added "It was kind of cold" to every day's comments... ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL at your blue scalp! I have to wash my hair every day, or it would look like someone had taken my head sometime during the night and mopped the kitchen floor with it. Sadly, my kitchen floor does not look like this scenario happened.
PP, it is "kind of cold" up here just now :-) Ha! Our kitchen floor does not look like that scenario happened, either.
Delete"A murder of crows cavorting over the sunflower bones." You do have a way with words.
ReplyDeleteShe really, really does.
DeleteLOL @ the blue scalp!
ReplyDeleteShe is entertaining, Steve!
DeleteAre you sure that shot of your front yard isn't one of Dr. M's shots of the moon?
ReplyDelete"Sunflower bones." Ha!
Love your lunches. Gimme that Babybel.
I occasional nip one of the Babybels ;-) I love her phrasing, too!
Deleteit looks kind of cold! love the congregation of sparrows waiting.
ReplyDeleteThe sparrows are so spoiled! I talk to them as I'm filling the feeders.
DeleteLoved your week. What? Only one of the animals was staring at divine Dr. M?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sweet Pea!
Deletei have to apologise for my absence in blogging and commenting recently - my head just hasn't been in the zone, but i keep looking at your pictures every week and you always make me smile somewhere along the way - ths week it was the puzzled expression on your face and that soup...
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finding reason to smile...my wife is very amusing...
DeleteEnjoyed the photos, all. Blue scalp, Ha.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I slept through that misadventure :-)
DeleteSo cold...and snowy! But always beauty to be found!!
ReplyDeleteIt is COLD here, but yes, there is lots of beauty.
DeleteI love that blue hat & scarf on you - great color!
ReplyDeleteWHAT IS THAT LUNCH CONTRAPTION?!?! That thing is awesome!!!
That's a Planet Box...a compartmentalized bento box. I got it for her for Christmas :-)
DeleteWhoa....Tonka trucks! I was quite the heavy construction operator back in my yout. Glad to see they're still around. Blue hair? You goin' punk on us? ;) Y'all stay warm.
ReplyDeleteS
Yeah, those are miniatures of the big ones. I shouldn't have left them out in the weather, but they are cute in the snow.
Deleteconstruction crew :-)
ReplyDeletecrows cavorting :-)
host of sparrows,
and a lone cardinal
All make me smile.
Thanks, Rita...good to see your smiling face :-)
DeleteI will say it is always smile-producing to come here! Glad to see your bento box is still getting a workout. Question -- do you find yourself feeling compelled to put certain things in your lunch just in order to fill all the cool little compartments? I would and would totally eat too much as a result! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHee! She does that, yes. So far, though, she is focusing on light snacks like cherry tomatoes or sweet pepper strips :-)
DeleteMake no mistake--the goats are plotting something sinister. All of them are.
ReplyDeleteHa! Having once owned a goat, I agree with you, Nance!
