Like everyone else, our life has been very busy. I did manage to shoot a few pictures every once in a while. My dear hubby gave me an iPad for Christmas and now I am more likely to take pictures from it rather than digging out my camera. I always have my iPad in my handbag! It is lightweight, slim and oh so easy to use! All last year, my dear hubby asked me if I would like an iPad. I always said no, no, no, it would be a waste of money, I have my desktop and my smart phone and I don't need any more electronics!! Well, he disregarded my protests against having an iPad and surprised me with one anyway. There has been no looking back! I love it!! The "how did I ever live without it" kind of love! If I can figure out how to get all my pictures from my iCloud into my blog via my desktop, I would really be in business! Until then, a few pictures downloaded from my camera.
A few winter shots...

| There was constant conflict at the feeders all winter |

| Our dark and naked woods was alive with wildlife activity. I still have not captured a picture of the deer that graze next to the fence. If I see them through an upstairs window, the camera was always downstairs, and vice versa. |

| This little guy spent most of the winter sitting right on that branch |
