Busy Pileated Woodpecker

Every morning I wake up to the sound of this big guy hammering away at a tree near my bedroom window. I think I have a while before he takes this one down and it comes crashing on my roof. These big Woody Woodpeckers give me a thrill each time I spot one. Luckily my camera was handy yesterday when he came calling. I'm off to an office meeting this morning. See you later . . . it's very cold this morning. Brrr.

Help - Young Skater with Safety Cushion

This is the best photo I've seen in about a million years. "Dutch boy with a pillow strapped on his backside in order to soften the falling on ice while skating." The Netherlands, 1933 via Flickr

Sleeping Peacefully in The Jungle

Can't you feel yourself relaxing just by looking at this leopard sleeping so peacefully up high on a tree limb in the jungle?

Dignified Goat

Such a nice portrait of a goat. He looks very dignified, doesn't he?

This delightful yarn snow family warms the cockles of my heart. So clever from Spidatter.

Lone Tree In The Snow

"This photo from Sycamore Gap is probably the most photographed tree in the UK . . . featured in the movie Robin Hood Prince of Thieves."

Absolutely breathtaking, isn't it?

I know many of you are buried in the snow right now. We are having heavy rain at the cottage today. It was beautiful yesterday; I washed a big load of Webster's blankets and hung them outside on the line. The house smelled like sunshine when I brought them inside late in the day. Webster was thrilled to have his favorite one on his dog bed. He loves clean things.

Stay warm and enjoy your Sunday.
