winter bird bath
winter is definitely upon us. at least there is the saving grace of the sun setting later, allowing us all to breathe a collective sigh of relief with the knowledge of longer days getting longer even if only by a few minutes each day. just when I think I can't bear another 4:30 sunset, the added light we experience when autumn turns to winter is so helpful in weathering the colder months of the year.
I thought this was a suitable winter long island garden as well as a good odd shot to include in katney's kaboodle. I don't often get to see birds that are about to go skating! sorry...I know that is really corny.

When the birdbath water is frozen, I go out and try to remove it, then add slightly warm water. It's only good for about half hour but the birds and squirrels seem happy.
How about skates for the birds in the bath? :-)
PS The guy carrying the car was supposed to be Obelix, a well-known (in Europe at least) French cartoon character.
Thank you for visiting my odd shot.
It's a beautiful photo though. I love these contrasts to our summer. Today it was hot - 32 C but so warm that we ate dinner outside tonight. It stays light until about 9.00 pm because we have daylight saving at the moment.
