Is that really... could it be... BLUE SKY in New Hampshire!

Yes, yes it is!

However, just so I didn't get TOO excited about the weather, Mother Nature was kind enough to keep things cool outside - like, 37F/3C with some nice frellin' arctic blasts of wind breezes while I was taking these shots. Still - there's absotively posolutely no snow or sleet anywhere in sight, so I'll take it!

These shots were all taken in my Durham, NH yard between 7:30 and 9am (and to be fair, I wasn't outside for all of them...stupid wind chased me back inside a few times), and are pretty much in the order I took them.

Good morning, Mr. Goldfinch!

Is it just me, or do the clouds look like they're giving the sun a standing ovation?

The sun certainly seems to be...beaming back at them... 😂

...and the crowd... I mean, clouds go wild!

The last of the snow in the woods is now officially all gone!

Peekaboo, sun! Is that you hiding behind that shagbark tree?

Certainly looks like you're behind there.

Mr Downy Woodpecker stopped by for a bit.

 
 
Got a couple of short clips too - apologies for the swaying & shaking. Even with a tripod, I have a hard time keeping the camera still for more than a second or two at a time. pout

Mr Grey Squirrel seems to be playing a mirror game with the missus.

Speaking of missus, looks like this isn't Mr Squirrel after all - and so much for my squirrel-proof feeder. 😜

 
 
Blue sky 18.JPG
YAY! One of my crows finally stopped by for a long overdue visit!

Don't think he's too impressed with my fangirling...

The crow equivalent of an teenager rolling their eyes... LOL!

 
 

Happy Sunny Wednesday!
