Wintering birds in our yard
This week’s photo challenge calls for a treasure or treasures we cherish. The obvious comes to mind and I’ll acknowledge that above all, our relationships carry more currency than any objects. However, we all do cherish other additional things and experiences. We have birds that winter in our garden and yard… I have feeders for them and they give me joy with the songs and playfulness. I will add more later. This is what I want to share here.

Time is something I treasure since I retired. Walking without rushing. Planning over a cup of tea. And those occasional days when there’s no reason to look at the clock at all.
Wow! These are all so beautiful! This is a great photo challenge.
Awww, I love the pictures of the birds you got. We have lots of birds up here, too, but then again – we live out in the sticks.
Very nice pictures thank you for sharing. I love looking at bird pictures.
We’ve been seeing a lot of new birds today also – hopefully that’s a sign Spring is around the corner!
Wow, that’s so awesome that you were able to capture such amazing photos of the birds. They are beautiful!
You are very fortunate to have some wonderful birds visiting your yard.
The red cardinal is a beauty and a pleasure to look at.
Nicely done – quotes well chosen for the lovely birds 🙂
Beautiful treasured birds. The quotes,paired so perfectly .
Beautiful birds! Looks like you had an amazing time taking these pictures.
Treasures everywhere…Yes, even the lovely birds…Aren’t we fortunate!
Oh you’ve got a dove!! We have a feeder we hang from the porch rafter so the squirrels cannot get into it. I’m amazed at how many birds stay…and it’s been a harsh winter!
These are some great photos. It must be even more beautiful to see these sights up close and in real life.
Beautiful birds! I love bird watching and you must have had a wonderful time photographing these lovelies!
Oh…how pretty. The birds are so pretty. You just reminded me that I haven’t seen a cardinal in a long while. Come to think of it…the birds and the squirrels seem scarce lately. Must be all of the snow.
Beautiful pictures and I love pictures of cardinals. I definitely agree with the quote regarding treasuring ourselves. People are the greatest treasures and we need to embrace that.
Great shots! I think the winter bird on the second photo is especially wonderful. I hope to join the photo meme soon!
What what stunning photos and what beauty each picture holds. I use to live on a walking trail and my son and I loved bird watching:) These brought back some great memories:)
All the birds are so beautiful….looking and listening their voice everytime is feel so good to our spirit…we feel relaxing and calming…thanks for sharing…

Great job capturing the birds. Besides my family and health, I cherish the sun! I love a bright beautiful sunny day…makes me feel happy!
Blogging has taught me that the first pic is a cardinal, beautiful!
You are so kind darling. TY!
Beautiful pictures…we often have red cardinals and blue jays at our bird feeder, they really liven up the yard!
Beautiful pictures. You capture gratitude so well.
My treasure isn’t a thing but a person! My son! He’s the one that comes to mind.
Some beautiful parts of nature definitely can catch out eye.
very nice photographs. I just love birds. Very nice
The woodpecker is gorgeous. I also love the dove with her feathers puffed out.
You got some amazing shots. We had a family of birds that lived in our tree but haven’t seen them all winter. Our weather has been getting better so I’m hoping they come back.
Wow these photos are gorgeous! love seeing animals in nature!
Great pictures. Those birds are gorgeous!
you have a lot of birds in your yard in the winter time!! I like that second shot you got 🙂
We love all the birds in winter. We have a cardinal in our backyard. They look so pretty against the snow.
