Braving the Storm

November 21, 2018 2 Comments

Winter doesn’t technically start until next month, but Mother Nature sure has another plan for Northern New England. In other posts, I have mentioned that we have been in Maine for five years this November. We have never had snow on the ground for Thanksgiving. Maybe some ice, but never any snow. It feels more like Christmas than Thanksgiving. Anyway, here are a few photographs that I took from during yet another one of our snowstorms. I took a few photographs of the birds braving the snow and I also took a few photos of the snow falling throughout the day. It ended in the early evening and all was quiet and peaceful again.

It seems like we have been getting snow lately. This cold weather has been something and it isn’t even December yet! It is supposed to be a beautiful sunshine-filled Thanksgiving and 12 degrees Fahrenheit. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday – keep warm out there!

    Hi, Laura,

    I liked the photos of the Cardinal sitting in the snow. Thanks for sending us photos of the birds in Maine.

      Thank you, Sharon. This is a new bird coming to the backyard and I sure hope to get more photographs of him in the future!
