Eagle and Vultures~

I was getting ready to feed the outside animals and I saw a whole lot of movement outside the back window.

Ended up being a Bald Eagle and a bunch of Vultures eating something just outside the back pasture. 

I know they will take off the minute I open the back door, so I grab the new camera and start shooting some snaps as soon as I stuck my arm out the door. 

Did not have time to set the Camera up and I am very limited on my distance shots right now.

But here is what I did get.   (I can't wait until I can afford a good lens!!)

Luckily it was only a Possum or Grey fox they were eating.

Snow day walk with Maggie~

Maggie and I out for our short walk today.

The new camera is a bit different, more different than I expected. The old Olympus, loved snow glare, the brighter the better. 

New camera... not so much.   Need more practice!

But Maggie is uber happy being out. LOL  

Start of the path

Snow all over the Trees and Hollys

Hard to see.. down below is the neighbors pond. 

Snow Pictures~

Back of house and you can see the horses run in shed.

Chickens under the Echo.... only bare ground on the place. LOL

Close up of Dyfra

Front of House in the snow... we only had 3" of snow.

I loved the shadows of the trees on the snow.

Orange Chicken~

I was going to go out and take a number of outside photos.  Ah...ya....   I took two and decided I had better go back inside and put on a jacket or something.  Its up to 20* but still... brrr.....

So here you have a photo of a Buff Orphington Hen.
They are just starting to lay, tiny eggs. 

Sadie ~

Have been playing with the New Camera to see what it can do.

Above... Sadie Melting on the warm heating pad, under her blanket.  LOL

(the heating pad I normally use... but when she wants it....she gets it. )

This one I used photoshop and played with it a bit.

Snow last night~

Had about 3" of snow last night... 15* this morning so I do not think it will melt today.

First photo I took, before full light out, with the new camera. 

Snow piled up at the base of the Trees. This photo was taken when there was more light out.

Horse Run in Shed,  photo taken while feeding the animals.  Was very pretty.

Sheep, eating their morning meal.

Stjarna looking .. Oh so ..thrilled , with the goats and one sheep standing near her.
LOL

Front Pasture, early this morning.  Will have to go out later and take photos with the sun bright in the sky.

Blue Birds ~~

This is the only way I can take photos of the Blue Birds, as they are rather skittish.
