She doesn't dress as sharp as her husband, but I doubt he'll kick her out for eating sunflower seeds in bed :-)
Isn't she a cutie.

Great shot Barry, love the scene you captured. Motion in the snow gives it life great job.

What's with all the snow photos Barry? You think you live up North or something :-)
She is indeed a looker, albeit a cold looker with all her fluffiness. I'd love to know what plant she's perched on.

Thank you all for such kind comments.
Steve, when it gets below zero with ten inches of snow on the ground, I take winter pictures no matter where I am :-)
Also, she is perched on a native rhododendron. In winter these evergreen shrubs display new growth and skeletal remnants of last year’s flower clusters.
Thanks again!

Aww, thank you all for such sweet comments. I appreciate them so much.

It warmed up to zero today, so it looks like our cold spell is over :-)
