HEY Y'ALL, farm-mom here...

THE INDIGO BUNTING

My entry in #SMaP contest round 205

This little fella was photographed back in the summer of 2021, it was my first sighting of this colorful creature, and he didn't come alone. His wife was right by his side. As the summer air warmed us, these birdies gave us hours of pleasure just observing them. We quickly realized they were in love and the MR. in the family was very protecting of the MRS.

I like that in a man, it feels like a warm blanket tucked over your shoulders on a cool night, comfy. My Mr. does that for me too, makes me feel safe.

Now I wouldn't mind a "cool" night, we haven't had one of those in months. This has been the snowiest and coldest winter since retiring here in the mountains of Upstate New York, but I am still a JERSEY GIRL, at heart.

I do brave it for a little while each day just for the fresh air, but the air is so cold some mornings I have to wear a mask to warm it, so I don't burn my lungs, no kidding it's been really cold up here.

There is relief just around the corner, we leave all the winter beauty behind and head south for the month of March, yeah!!!!

I am so excited to photograph the birds in southwest Florida. Can't wait to put my toes in the warm sand, swim and fish, I've got my rod and reel at the ready.

Hope Y'all have a blessed and peaceful week.

Love Y'all

This winter has been really something, hasn't it? Ice everywhere, and so very cold! This is the first winter that has ever gotten to me, I don't want to go outside. I kind of can't, living in this small town, because the sidewalks are downright treacherous to walk on, all uneven ice.

That blue is fantastic!

I'm jealous you will be fishing and warming your toes in natural water soon. Enjoy! Looking forward to your shots.

Hello there, my friend, yes, this winter has been awful, I have metal cleats on my boots, so I don't break my ass when I walk outside.

That bird was so surprising when I first saw it in our feeder, I had never seen such a BLUE bird, gorgeous.

Thanks for the support and comment, stay warm.

A lovely bird, and good wishes for the contest. I so wish that I could send some heat from our African sun up there to you guys right now, as we are really sweating here.
But the good news is that March is not far away, and then you will be happy again. !LOL

Did you hear about the Scooby Doo villain who became an Olympic swimmer?
He would have won, if it weren't for all those medaling kids!
