Far And Away


To all my friends from far away, I wish you the happiest holidays and a great New Year.



And from whence they came.  These were country cardinals. They don't visit the city much.

And to you and yours. How I love the feathered 'berries' on that tree.

When it snows they almost look like Christmas decorations. The males here are just giving up their territorial behaviors until spring. Merry Christmas!

What wonderful Christmas decorations those colourful little birds are! Wishing you a happy holiday time and all good things for 2018.

I will be so glad when this Rooster Year is over. The Chinese knew what they were talking about with the zodiac. Yes, birds still make me glad.

donna baker said...

Thank you Rosemary and to you too.

Mary said...

So glad to see you here - and for the comment. I was concerned.
We have so many cardinals too - I took a few pix this morning when they came to the now leafless fig tree - nice because I can see them more clearly.
Best wishes dear - hoping 2018 will be much better year and that you will be back here often.
Love, Mary -

donna baker said...

So kind of you Mary. I have been reading and always enjoy your posting.
