It was absolutely gorgeous out there this morning and I couldn't resist capturing a bit of it, to share with you...I hope you enjoy, and you are having a blessed day wherever you are.

To Top it All Off...

My crow brethren stayed for a photo! This is very rare for me, usually I point this blasted zoom lens at them and they hit the skies, fast. I wonder if they are finally getting used to me? It's too much to hope for at this point, I'll see how it plays out next time I have old bessie (my canon) out. See you later Angel Fam!

If you feed those crows unsalted peanuts (still in the shell) they will try to marry you.

LOL I'm gonna have to get me some of those, here I thought my stale homemade buns and hard boiled eggs would woo them...Well well...Bulk section here I come, and by "I" I mean Brendan.

Crow! Crow! Crow! Merry Christmas!

Bahahahaha I loves it so much!!!!! I’m Saint Nutolas?

Thanks for the heads up 😜

Brendan's the guy then... "What a Guy" He!! He!! HHHhhheee!!! (Y)'s-Up <3

Omg that is too funny, what a gal that @kerrywolf is EH Paul!!

well I dont know if you remember my story. I put those peanuts along the railings on all of my decks. I had myself a crow party in about 30 minutes. Quite a site.

Crow says #feedme Nice video! Is this Chris Cornell singing?

You capture that old beauty in which modern materialistic man misses so well beautiful of heart sweet sister warrior Lyndsay... Full Truth Lays in Nature Much Pure Love your way and all your loved ones (that encompasses the many) <3

Forget The MK Ultra mind control aspect of this beautiful Monarch Butterfly... Enjoy it's natural beauty. <3

Thank you Paul, I do enjoy its beauty. Nothing man can say or do, can make me judge a creature, or a number, negatively.

They don't deserve that. Life is innocent.

And try to stay warm out there! Amazing pics, you've got a great eye for it. 💜💜💗💗

Thank you, it's definitely one of my passions... capturing beauty! <3 <3 <3 Prolly why I love stalking you so much K!

Snow really makes an otherwise dreary and depressing landscape beautiful! My favourite is your photo of the snowcapped coriander! Lovely post @lyndsaybowes.

Thank you for checking out the shots @buckaroo! Do you get much snow where you live?

Not at all. It gets cold enough that we get black frost but the only snow is on the surrounding mountains. Never down in the valley where our homestead is @lyndsaybowes

Crows are really smart. They are probably getting used to you! :)

I really hope so, it's been over 4 years! Lmao!!

"It's alright, Fred, that human's pointy thing just makes clicking sounds and she talks to us. Hang out and see if she brings us some eggs."

I wish I could experience this beautiful time

You live in a hot climate I guess @ligayagardener?

"My crow brethren stayed for a photo! This is very rare for me, usually I point this blasted zoom lens at them and they hit the skies, fast. I wonder if they are finally getting used to me?"

Nah sis, you're getting used to them. Don't "whip out" the camera...bring it out when the time feels right. 😊💜

Beautiful, haunting and breathtaking. My kind of pictures. Peaceful. Perfect as always x

aaaaaawwww!!!! what marvelous photos, dear SiSTAR!
the snow is just like from the fairytale!
we had it this year already too, but it was about +1-2 so it melted at once, I couldn't catch it.
our "favourite" season has come, yeah, dear?:))
our - I mean mine and yours because I do remember you hate cold just like me, yeah?:)
it's a very beautiful season but for me it's time to stay at home with hot tea and my warm home slippers;))

I'm trying to catch up with everyone now that I am 'sort of' settling into a 'sort of' routine here. House: check, Bus pass: check, Some furniture: check...now to organize my time between working and also playing tourist with my friends.

I Must say I am happy to see the cold and snow at yours and happily not here in Southern England. The locals think I'm a bit off when I exclaim how I love the weather here in the Winter, but I tell them, live in New England for a winter and you'd be getting your swimming costume on as well and 'sunning yourself' (well not quite that bad, but close)

I'm happy to see your chickens. I think we've only one rogue rooster left at Toad Hall (wouldnt' be caught and given to farm as winston doesn't like to care for them when I am overseas) At last report from Toad Hall, he was still about, sleeping in trees and looking for food in the drive.

Oh I thought of you when we took our house, as you love the idea of houses with names. You will be happy to know that my English house came with a name: Willowbrook and it even has a little plaque announcing it as such. There is indeed a Large willow in the garden and a little bridge over a brook, so that one was probably a no-brainer to name.

Hope you are getting ready for the Christmas season.

@lyndsaybowes, thank you for sharing these beautiful pics with us and letting us know what is going on in your homestead.

I like crows! :) They are so beautiful and smart.

Btw, I have one question about your homestead. Do your chickens/hens lay (produce) eggs? And, in case, you answer is "yes". What do you do with them? Can you sell them for money to other people in your neighbourhood?
