Wintry Day








We awoke to a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain this morning, followed by a snow shower this afternoon. The ground and roads were too warm for any accumulation, but ice formed on the bushes and daffodils. These photos show a white daffodil and a yellow daffodil bending their heads low under the weight of ice. Small icicle droplets formed on the bushes in front of the house, and a male American goldfinch (that recently acquired his brilliant yellow feathers), and two females, hungrily extract thistle seeds from a bird feeder as snow falls around them.
