Downtown Richmond during our snowpocalypse! Credit for the photo go to a co-worker. I just scout the locations she and the arty eye to shot!

Oh that building is beautiful!
These are gorgeous.. I would have been the same as you.. I can’t ride in cars at all. Never have.. I’m a big truck kind of person. My daughter drives a mustang... I can’t ride with her anywhere and her driving is fine :-(...
The view must have been worth the ride though.
Finally a bit of Winter to the back garden.
That is beautiful!
Fresh snow always looks better than brown and dreary!
Just blame it on the phone. I didn't know they were called a gaggle. I really like all birds but starlings and grackles are glutens. They eat everything and a lot of the really neat looking songbirds won't fight for their fair share.?
That's the movie I was thinking of. Great minds think alike ?
The best thing I ever did was plant a true crabapple tree in my yard. When it first got apples I thought it was really an apple tree. Even butterflies like it. I keep getting more and more really beautiful birds every year. The newest are the two different sizes of woodpeckers. I believe I got a Raven this year also. S/he looked like a crow but had a scraggly neck.?
Richmond is a beautiful city. I think we got more snow but it's melting fast.
That's lovely.
It was beautiful this morning but turned to a little rain. It's Sunday and the snow is going going. It'll freeze tonight and we're supposed to get more snow. I don't really have to go anywhere so I'll just be watching the bird activity.?
? Beautiful photos.
Wow. What a wonderful nature preserve. I've only read about preserves that protect the wildlife and how they become at peace.?
Not here. I have squirrel-proof feeders. The ports close if somethingnheavy pulls on the perch. (PestOff feeders by Roamwild). My other feeders hang below perspex (plexiglass) squirrel baffle domes, The grey squirrels have given up!
Every now and then a youngster wastes time making valiant attempts and then moves on.
I hate grey squirrels. A decade ago I watched one chew its way into our roof space so high up I couldn’t do anything about it. It took 2 months to catch it in a non humane rat trap and it had done significant damage. They aren’t native here and I have no time for these US imports despite my wildlife loving credential.
I've always thought January is a strange and very unpredictable month to do it but maybe it's because people feed more in the winter so more birds are visiting.
No squirrels here

Used to get car sick all the time because I was nearsighted, even with eyeglasses, until I got contacts. Last time, was in my late 50's at night on a long windy road which was supposed to be very scenic, after some greasy fast food french fries.
I only would want a squirrel as a caged pet. They're fun. Maybe they were actually imported as pets and escaped or released. But not in the attic of our home.
For those enjoying sun, wind or just rain, here are a few minutes of peace & quiet. Snow falling & birds. Many of the regulars were hunkered down during the snow. Squirrels and Blue Jays active early.
