The weather is really starting to get rather on the warm/hot humid side here, so I thought I would look through some pictures of winter ...

I cannot put my finger on his expression, but he just tugs at my heart strings.

Perhaps, he is deep in thought, a wistful remembrance of summer and being warm.

Yes it is, and she was so chipper too, very friendly, following me around the yard, so I had to take her picture.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the encouraging comment.

A beautiful capture... Stunning focus and depth of field control... Brings back memories of Winter just when needed to cool things off a bit...

I thought it looked 'sparrowish'. Interesting info. Sparrows are NOT so common these days eh? Do you like birdwatching or did you just notice this?

I love bird watching, but this little one was watching me, lol. I was out taking some pics, and she was very nosy, so I took her portrait.

Thank you.
