Still feeding on beauty
Much of yesterday was spent in the kitchen baking, with an eye on the birdfeeder – definitely "beauty as well as bread." I'm not a food photographer, but did capture a few bird shots through the window. Considering that I used maximum zoom through a dirty pane, I'm amazed at how well they turned out!
This morning, an even heavier frost left diamonds scattered underfoot. (Click to biggify.)

Nice! What kind of bird Is that?
The first three photos are of an "Oregon" junco, the Pacific Northwest's variety of the dark-eyed junco. And yes, I've sold some prints before; email me at the link shown on the right (and thanks for asking!).
See above, Sara; that's the Oregon junco. Very common here!
The birds rely on us so much for the seed, suet and bread that we leave. As a "thank you" they let us take their pictures. Nice "quid pro quo" arrangement.
Your "diamonds scattered underfoot" are so beautiful. What a gift winter can be.
Last week I saw a window feeder like that somewhere... How I wish I had bought it! I think it would be so neat to sit at the kitchen table and look up and out at the birds! Thanks for your neat pictures!
