Dreaming of green growing things!

I'm already missing summer so much, and there are still months of winter to get through before spring arrives.
I miss the colors of the flowers and the green leaves on the trees.
I even miss the naughty little chipmunks. Chipmunks don't actually hibernate. Instead, they enter a hibernation-like state called torpor. Torpor is more like a nap, where they wake up every few days to snack on food and that they stored in their underground tunnels during the summer and fall.

And then.... WINTER!


Photo of the deck with all the snow was today from my security camera. That camera's main use is for viewing wildlife. The two shoveled paths are used to fill the bird feeders.

Thankfully the birds are active at the feeders all year long and provide life and movement to my otherwise black and white world during the winter.

I keep browsing through the seed catalogs dreaming of what I should order to plant in the pots on my deck. I think right now I have every page bookmarked, even though I know I don't have nearly enough room for everything I would like to grow!

I have plenty of time to decide!

Snow scenes look amazing during winter. The bird is sitting very nicely and seems to be in a very relaxing mood.

All these stunning clicks shows how beautiful a winters could be.
Blue jay looks attractive and I really appreciate how peoples take care of birds feed during winters. I also do this same and also fills fresh water and feed for birds.

That is kind of you! When the ground is covered with snow here it becomes more difficult for the birds to forage for food. I enjoy feeding them as it brings them closer for me to observe them.

Hello. It is a beautiful publication that you share with us here. I think spring is like a rebirth of life in nature; but winter is the transition to that life. There are those who see that season of the year as a time full of sadness, but that is not the case. Nature is very wise, because without a transition, there is no change to the new. Thank you for sharing such beautiful posts with us. Kind regards!!

You are right. I do appreciate spring so much after winter begins to lose its icy cold grip!

The Jay family congregates at the feeder several times a day and provides me with lots of photo opportunities. It's great to have their activity and lovely blue color to brighten these cold winter days!

We did get dumped on! Temperatures are supposed to begin to warm up this week to above freezing, but it is supposed to snow and rain everyday. Sounds like it could get icy.

Climas diferentes en temporadas diferentes y la belleza sigue siendo la misma. Nota: El Arrendajo azul se dio cuenta de que le tomaban una foto, yo tú me cuidaba de ese pájaro, tiene una expresión intrigante 🤣🤣🤣

Fun video from the summer. We were just talking this morning about a wildlife cam. There was a little fox that left tracks all around our house. I wish we would have seen him!

I have every page bookmarked, even though I know I don't have nearly enough room for everything

The eternal dilemma. We keep trying to find more space to plant things and keep filling it up.

I have a bright light that lights up the deck and I can turn it off and on with a voice command. I can watch what's happening out there through the camera with the app on my phone, so it's kind of fun to watch some of the stuff that goes on at night that I would normally miss.
I have a fox around, too. So far I have missed seeing it, but my daughter did when she went to leave a few nights ago.
I can hear flying squirrels in the trees at night, but so far haven't seen them either.

I didn't know what you say about these squirrels, I've seen some while I'm jogging, I even took this photo, they seem like very nice animals to me.
I wish you a happy day

The squirrels here stay active all winter. But these little chipmunks sleep until springtime.

Capturing nature has always been my passion. You are lucky to live in a place where such rare birds are found. And they are very beautiful to look at. Like you, I am waiting for spring when the trees are showered with flowers. And that scene becomes very beautiful

I love living close to nature! We still have snow and cold days ahead, but as each one passes spring gets a little closer.

Oh my gosh, so much wildlife on your deck in the summer! That's fantastic. And now all the snow. One of the good things about Colorado is that our weather shifts fast. It takes some getting used to, but now that I am I love it. We can have snow like that, and in a few days the weather shifts to be warm enough to melt it all away. We had those sub-zero days and then some highs-in-the-30s days for the past week, but today right now it's 53 and the snow is melting! :)

It really is an active backyard anytime of the year!
We get those temperature fluctuations also. It's supposed to get above freezing this coming week with snow and rain mix most days. It will probably create some treacherous driving conditions. Glad I have nowhere to go!

It's just like that, these plants in summer, all these things, they look very nice, but winter also has its own fun, I like snow very much.
