Happy New Year from the meadow

We wish you a very happy New Year! Here are just a few pics from the last days of 2007.

Sitting at our kitchen table having breakfast the other day, Vinny spotted an owl across the creek. David grabbed his camera in time to catch the owl swooping down into the snow after it's prey. It was quite a sight ~ these are just a few pics in the series. Enjoy! We all have our proverbial 'eye's peeled' these days. Always on the lookout for wildlife on the meadow.

Vinny has just started a blog of his own too. It's called Coyote Crossing. Enjoy and see you soon again.

Winter settles on the meadow

The three of us spent a delightful December afternoon following the antics of one of our resident coyotes as he went about his business on the meadow. These photos were taken by David.

David captures yesterday's sunrise

Miniature worlds by Vincent

As promised, some of Vincent's photography. About once a week David and I and Vinny sit down to watch a slide show from our respective cameras.

It's fun to see our different styles and what draws our attention as we all interact with life on the meadow. Vincent's photographs are very often miniature worlds ~ here is some of his latest macro photography. There is no moving water on the surface of the creek here, just ice.

More November skies

Some of David's November sky pics and since we haven't yet got Vincent to start his own blog we need to get some of his pics up here too.... soon.

We'll get another first snowfall.

An extraordinary sunrise yesterday as winter comes and goes. The last few days have been sunny and windy so that lovely first snowfall has all but disappeared. Just little patches of white here and there and some gigantic puddles around the place.

The sunshine means lots of solar power and the opportunity to get some laundry on the clothesline. There is nothing quite as sweet as the smell of clothes dried on the line on a day like today.
