Winter Beauty

A few weeks ago, I visited the English Gardens in Winnipeg. I was hoping to catch sight of the Northern Cardinal that has been seen there, but alas, he had other ideas. 

It was a pleasant winter day for a walk through the gardens. The first sight that greeted me was this Red Squirrel. Someone had put some food out for the birds and of course he helped himself. 

The grasses were about the only thing that stood upright in the snow.I happen to like the looks of grass, whether green or dried.

Just to show what a lovely day it was, I got this shot of the blue sky with just a few wisps of cloud.

Back at home, a few days later, I was standing at the window with my camera ready and was able to capture this shot of snow being blown off the branches.

The Blue Jay was sitting in a nearby tree. He looks cold and likely was. This was taken through my kitchen window.

When we are in touch with beauty, we are in touch with the Creator.
