Beautiful.....
Washington snow at my house.
The hoarfrost was absolutely gorgeous yesterday morning. I took as many photos as I could without walking 'out' in the snow.
Great pictures, Nancy! Sunsets are my favorite also. Welcome to the group!
Stunning shot!
Awesome shots. Especially love the ice/water pic! Hope you feel better. I have been having back spasms all year so haven't been able to get out and about to take pics of all the natural wonder that surrounds us!
Ooops i'm new to forums, I created a new discussion. I meant to post my pics to this discussion. Here are some pics I took just the other day near my home...I love sunsets..especially in the winter...I experimented with B&W settings too..
Love it!
So sorry you are still ailing, but I'm glad we got to see last year's pics. These are both wonderful. Thanks!
Havent been able to get out to take many photos this winter because of my knee and shoulder problems. We have had two 'big' storms and I missed a lot of photo ops. These are from last year.
Winter or not, I feel good looking at this picture. Thanks for sharing it.
Susan, those photos are gorgeous. Keep on taking pictures!!!
Love those photos!
I took this picture tonight at sunset. It was the first color I've seen outdoors since the new year began. Most everything is covered by 3+ feet of snow. It was really beautiful to behold.
Thanks, Gail. I'm so glad that bench is there as it has become the subject of many of my photos.
good title, nice photo
Can't help myself..taking pictures is addicting..
For those cat lovers out there, I thought would throw in a photo of the UK comic character, Simon the cat, who visited us for Xmas. Always hungry he found "a friend" outside who had a sympathetic ear…
Beautiful....love the evergreen behind it

Oh my! Your yard looks like something I'd see in a magazine! Great job!
Well I have several sources of water, 3 bird baths and our waterfall in our pond. Never had this problem before. I have always had hummers. Just wondering if the winter weather we had messed them up. Oh well maybe next year.
pretty!
very nice!
Cute
Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…
i love this kitty pic!
Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
What housework-What cooking-I am delegating so that I can go out in my gardens.Besides my gardens I am on my computer watching the lovely new photos come up on "latest activity" HELP I am soo hooked. Don't want to change. Don't want to give it up ei…

If you are interested, go look at the Humming Bird Plants group and under the discussion "when should I take in my feeders" I have pictures there from Jan. 2008 with snow and a hummer feeding.
Thanks for friending me, even though it makes me all nostalgic for my zone 6 garden.
As to my thoughts on "plant whispering"... I personally have experienced what I perceive to be plants emanating their ability to communicate with us humans. Whether it's their response to music, kind or harsh words, (especially when I've threatened a particular plant for misbehaving! LOL), and their ability to communicate their healing attributes - I find that if one is very conscious of the plant world around them, you can't help but feel the relationship we can have and our ability to inter-relate with plants on not only a physical level, but also emotional and spiritual levels as well. Therefore, I thought this would be a fun place to hear about other peoples experiences and observations on any level of "plant whispering".
