Going out - Emily was curious, and thought she would just go play..
She sank and had to bounce out - she didn't want to play any more!
In Washington, everything gets named, and this is my favorite so far of the names sent in for the storm. The official snowfall in my area so far is 14 - 20", but everywhere I have measured, it's more like 24" and still snowing hard. They have "upgraded" to blizzard warning from winter storm warning. I don't do cold very well, so most of my photos have been from very close to the house. But the birds have been here...it's a challenge to keep their food unucovered, the snow blows into even the covered feeders. I really needed to have the store open today, but can't change it, so I might as well enjoy it.

Looks like you are having fun in the snow...keep the feeders full ..it'll melt. I lived in southern MD for a few years and 3" of snow paralized the area..bet your having fun now.

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures. Even the coldest of winter's days are made beautiful by the birds...and your sharing.
Beautiful pictures. We had our first snow today and I saw the first snow bird of the season, but fortunately we have only a couple inches or so.
Now tell me why these birds didn't come down to Florida???
Well June, they didn't want to drown!

I love the beauty of the snow and how many birds it brings in. You have a lot more than we got... about 6-8 inches in my yard and 12 in higher elevations.. So weird to see bluebirds in the snow!! cute.
Wow! That's a lot of snow.
Couple of inches here, and everything comes to a standstill lol
Keep safe, and warm.
Emily knows better!! Hope your not too burried Helen! Stay warm!
Helen: Beautiful photos of your birds in the snow. Your doggie was in way to deep. Have a great Christmas with the family.
Wonderful snowy images Helen! Stay warm!
Cool pictures!

I'm leaving in holidays now and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year...
See you in 2010..
Cheers, Chris.
Hi Helen, Lovely snow photos! It was quite a storm wasn't it?
Keep warm Helen.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Great blizzaed photos. It's funny how your area got so much snow and here in the north we didn't get a flake but it's been bitterly cold.
Wow gorgeous... The snow has some advantages, you can do very nice shots....
Lovely series.
Happy new year to you...Thomas

Wow...you really got some snow! Emily is very cute and I don't blame her a bit for not wanting to be out. Lovely bird pics!
Hi Helen,
I hope things are going well for you. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I miss your blogging and hope you start posting again. I love the bird photos!

I love your pictures! What kind of camera do you use? I am getting ready to purchase a new one and I am so at a loss for which to choose.
Emily looks adorable in all that snow. Sweet birds too!
