Birds and Tea

In thinking about what I should post today,I had lots of different ideas,but decided to show you some recent bird pictures.

These are perhaps some of my best shots of these particular birds.The Setting was at A Rocha,in the Pembina Valley.The birds were quite used to human activity and therefore came very close,a photographers dream.

The Black-capped Chickadee is a favourite.

I love this birds cheery disposition.

An American Goldfinch in winter plumage is still just as pretty,if not as bright as in summer.

Until this picture was taken,I had never been happy with the pictures I got of the White-breasted Nuthatch.

They seldom sit still for very long and I find they are often on a high branch,thus the pictures are not great.

Now I have to admit that I got a good shot of the Nuthatch.

Will that keep me from trying for more? Definitely not.

The fun is in the trying and so I will continue to take pictures,every chance I get.

As for the tea in the title.

While taking the above pictures I was treated to a warm cup of tea and some good conversation.

The other day while having a cup of tea with two friends,I realized that I don't have to go to the beach to see a sandy shore.

I looked into my cup of tea and saw this.

It reminded me of sand on a beach.

Hmmm,does this mean that I am wishing for warmer temperatures? YES!!!

Until those warmer days come I will continue to enjoy a cup of tea whenever I can.Who knows what other scenes may show up in my cup.:)

A promise for today:

The steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting,and you're right in the middle of it.
