IS IT SPRING ????


Mother nature is confused and who can blame her ?
This morning there were six Robins in my back yard.



Robins have become snow birds the past several years..
Our temperatures of late have been frigid.





This snow/ice is from early January.



Several days ago we had two inches of rain and above freezing
temperatures during the day.
We have melted down to our first snow..see the leaves ??








I haven't had many photo ops without my bird feeders
and have been spending a lot of time painting.
I guess if you can't take pictures, you can paint them!!
This is from an Ellen Crime Trent tutorial.




Don't worry little birdies..Spring is coming !!



I think some Robins winter over now !!
Have a wonderful week friends.

Hello,
Love the Robins, I guess they have plenty of berries to eat.
I love the watercolor, well done. It is a pretty scene. Have a happy day and a great new week!

What a beautiful seascape! Those whitecaps are terrific!

Robins would have to DIG here!
I will check this morning and see if I see any.
We have been finding deer tracks
up close to the houses on our road though.
I am keeping my eyes open.
I need a trail camera! ❤️

Missy, My daughter lives about 40 miles south of me and she has more robins around than we do here. I love seeing them ...even though they make me think of spring. It certainly doesn't feel like spring yet. You have become an amazing artist. :) I love your paintings. Stay warm and safe. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

I really think I heard a Robin “screech a chirp!”
(I think he said, “cold!”)

I saw a robin the other day! Your paintings are so lovely, Missy. So glad you have that hobby to enjoy since you can't enjoy your bird feeder activity right now. One day maybe you'll be painting the birds, too!

Hello, :=) I like your American Robins. They often appear on Christmas Cards in the snow.
I see them every day here in Portugal, but we never get snow where I live. It's nice to have a hobby like painting.

Hello Missy,

The Robins do stay here year round, they are cute to see in your yard. I have been noticing more around on the ground. Your watercolor is beautiful, I love the scene. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
