eyes opened to a snow cloaked realm
the wee island touched my heart
sometimes i think of it as Charlie's island
because he made the ponds and tiny island
also i call it:
Bird Haven
because the tiny folk are safe there
(plus Charlie and Annie love the birds, so it seems perfect)
(plus Charlie and Annie love the birds, so it seems perfect)
reflections
light
frosty water
a lovely sight
also the bridge that A&C made
all things i enjoy
and
love
thank you A&C!

now the sun sinks into the horizon
pulling a night cloak over us
much of the snow has melted away
it is said in Montana:
if you don't like the weather
simply wait 20 minutes

Tammie, you have woven your usual magic with landscape and camera. A happy interaction and your love for your surroundings is so heartwarming. That bird shot is a pure gem!
ReplyDeletethank you dear Arija.

This seems to be the picture of winter that it goes off from us.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Wonderful winter images!
ReplyDeleteThat light powdering of snow makes everything look so dainty! Just look at that little puffed-up bird. Could it be a chickadee? Love the bridge, though you would need to keep your balance!
ReplyDeletehello Sandra,
Deleteyes, it is a chickadee, they stay with us all winter, all year. it is a Chestnut-backed chickadee, we have three types or maybe four here.
the bridge is wide enough and strong enough, but it does wobble a little bit. I think we got two inches of snow, such a surprise as it has mostly been raining lately.
sweet day or evening to you.
Exquisite reflection images!
ReplyDeleteYour little island has an ethereal quality - like a mini Avalon - an elfin sanctuary?
It also reminds me of tiny tree covered islands in Scottish lochs,a protected place for wildlife.
Have a lovely week Tammie,
Ruby
such lovely thoughts about the wee island, thank you Ruby.
DeleteSuch ephemeral beauty!
ReplyDeleteExquisitely beautiful, Tammie!
ReplyDeleteThey say that same thing about the weather where I live too. :-) Beautiful photos, as always.
ReplyDeleteThat magical dusting transforms your landscape to winter for a short while. To live near water is so restful. The reflections are lovely. We've had several days of snow - about 2' so far. We're back to enjoying winter here in the mountains of CO. Our neighbor is moving to MT for next winter to teach skiing at Big Sky.
ReplyDeleteYes, for a short while Barb. Some snow remains a day later, but most has turned to water. 2 Feet is a lot of snow! How lovely that you can still slide around in it. I really did not get to enjoy that enough this winter. Since i don't down hill, I have nevr been to Big Sky, I hear that it is nice.
DeleteThey say that about Michigan, too! But I'm not sure I've seen anything quite so magical here -- that glistening snow and the water is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and such a lovely place. I am amazed that you still have snow. We haven't had any here in southern Scotland this year! Sadly my father died last month and we have inherited his house. It very much reminds me of your place. It is lovely, but we won't be able to move there for at least two years, until my daughter has finished at school (high school?). However, I really love the place and there is so much that can be done to attract wildlife. It will be a lovely place to live.
ReplyDeletehi Nick,
DeleteI am sorry to hear about your father. His place sounds wonderful and I wish you great time there.
Spring is often a time of surprising weather here, snow, rain, wind, squalls, kind of exciting. Often gray though with glimpses of sunshine. The two inches of snow was surprising.
Such a beautiful place you call home ♥ I think all states have that saying :) We've had summer like days the past few but colder weather is on it's way...I'm praying not too cold because the plum tress are blooming today .
ReplyDeleteYes, that is scary when fruit trees are blossoming and weather gets cold. I lived in S. Ca. most my life and the weather was not so wild and changeable. Many places are that way though.
DeleteThe beautiful place you live in is just magical, sweet Tammy Lee. I love your little island, and the bridge over the waters. SO lovely.
ReplyDeleteyes, those touches, the island and bridge are sweet touches Beth. I do love it here.
DeleteBeautiful place♥Also love the little bird very much such a beauty!♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteyes, the birds are so dear to have around.
DeleteThank you so much every one!
ReplyDeleteLove your photography!!
ReplyDeleteYour snow scenes are so beautiful there! I love the pond! We live in a wonderful part of the world!
ReplyDeleteyes, we live in a beautiful part of the world. i love the ponds too. geese have been in them daily, such a joy to watch.
DeleteWow wow wow!
ReplyDeleteThose are breathtaking photos! You have been surrounded by such beautiful snow scenes. I am pleased to see your bridge again.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good new week.
thank you for enjoying the bridge
Deletehuman made details can be a lovely bit in nature.
Love that little chickadee. What is that one called? The snow looks wonderful on your place. The little tree in the pond reminds me of a young girl holding our her skirts.
ReplyDeleteyes, the chickadee are wonderful, this coloring is a Chestnut-backed chickadee.
DeleteFun to consider how you see the island tree, thanks for sharing that.
