There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thank you Stacy! I never thought of Puffer, but that is a perfect description too!

How cold was it???

It has been below well zero F for quite a while now, add in the wind chill factor, and it's been brutal. The only good thing is we have still been getting some sunshine.

Thanks Ted. I opened the door long enough to stick the lens out and click a few times. I really needed my tripod to have gotten a sharper image. Maybe next time!

Beautifully puffy Blue Jay Sandy, and in a marvelous setting....love the color mixture.
I suspect I'd puff up too if I lived in your neck of the woods in the Winter. :lol:
