Beauty in winter

 We had a beautiful winter snow. Even the ugliest tree is beautiful covered in snow. The first picture is the old lilac in the bird feeding area.
The melting ice picture was from 2 days ago. Made amazing shapes as it melted.

 It brought out the birds this morning to the feeders. I thought I'd share. Mr. and Mrs. cardinal both posed so nice.The blue jay not so much. The wrens and sparrows all shared until the jay showed up. I think the black and white bird is a female downy woodpecker. Stay warm and safe.j
