Diamonds in the Snow

Yesterday was a beautiful day,only partly cloudy and mild.

Jake and I went out looking for photo opportunities.

Here are a few of the pictures I got.

The area we were in had seen a lot of hoar frost recently.

Some of the trees and weeds were still coated with this beautiful frost.

Do you see the diamonds? They are so pretty.

As we pulled up to this carcass in the field there were two Black-billed Magpies and a Bald Eagle feeding.Obviously the Eagle was not in a photogenic mood.

I saw this Magpie approaching and started shooting,hoping for the best.

I was too far away,but this picture is still OK.

A much smaller bird,the Snow Bunting has been a challenge to capture.

This is the first time I had ever seen one sitting in a tree.

Again,I was much to far away for a great shot,but this is better than none.

The White-tailed Deer was standing fairly close to the road and allowed me several shots.This one stands out well against the whiteness around it.

I give you one more picture of the Diamonds in the Snow.

These were small weeds at the edge of a field.

The wonders of creation reveal God at work.
