Robin song

This morning, when I awoke, I heard singing.
I noticed it was Robins voice.
He sang so beautiful his morning song, that I listened to it till he stopped.
All through the day I hear him around the house, singing and tweeting, welcoming springtime.

I love it, how the birds slowly change their coat,
by beautiful mosses making them green.

Inspection

Today a lovely bright sunny day.
And yes!, a blue-tit is having house inspection.

Snow birds

Yesterday's snowy birdies, or was it the day before?
Yeh it was the day before.
Lovely snowy world outside, birds were covered with a nice snowy coat.

This morning I wanted to make some photo's of the crocus covered under the snow.

Instead I heard robin softly singing, near by.
I looked and looked, but could not find him.
Then suddenly I noticed him.
Perfectly matching with the uatumn-leaves of the beech.

Glazing with frost

Yesterday it looked like, winter wants to take over the new beginnings of fragile springtime.
Birds singing...and exploring their birdhouses.
Crocus and snowdrops blossoming, now covered with beauty of frosted glazing. 

Robin

So cute!

Two almost identical photo's
I love the way his slightly different posture of his expression.

Frosted little something

These photo's I made a few weeks ago, when the world was so extremely beautiful!

First ladybird

Yesterday was a beautiful warm day, unusual for the month of Januari.
I decided to do some gardening, enjoying the sunshine, meanwhile removing old leaves and dead plant-stuff.
Then I noticed the first ladybird sitting on a dead twig...enjoying sitting in the warm sun-rays.
I wanted to make a picture, but when I removed the twig from the plant, he fell off and I could not find him anymore.

I decided to make a drawing instead of the first ladybird of the year!

Apples

The days of freezing are gone and today thaw has taken over.
The blackbirds are happy, because the apples have become so yummy, because they have become softer and easier te eat.

frosted birds

A few days ago, when the world around was enchanted.

Frosted seeds

Beautiful frosted seeds.

Frozen birdbath

Dripping, drop, drop icicles, melting during the day, freezing again during night-time.

It is a beautiful sight all those icicles.

Frosted rose

Beauty in my frosted garden.

Construction work

Yesterday M&R f(friends) came along to visit.
I asked them if they wanted me to help to clean out the birdhouses, (removing the old nests,)
that were to high for me to clean myself.
When that was done, some bird boxes desperately needed repair or to be declared uninhabitable.

I had decided to remove them and buy new houses, But R&M, both said they could to do some reconstruction work.
So they build  a new floor, in one house.
They build walls in a house that was originally a feeding house, but I liked to have it as an open nestbox for a flycatcher or robins.
And they constructed even a new roof on an extremely leaking house.
The birds are very happy to stay dry and warm.
And I am happy for the birds!
Thanx so much M&R!

White Rabbit 25

(Continuing White Rabbit)

Black-cat heard a mumbling sort of voice: 'Where am I'? and Help!
He also heard a singing tune, which was YellowBird, singing a song.
Black-cat answered: 'You're at home, asleep in your chair'
White Rabbit rubbed his eyes, to let it make sense, which it didn't.
After a while it did.
