I can't believe those poor hummingbirds are still in your area with this weather. How nice that they have you to count on for the food @Troutredds

Not all of them pose in front of a camera, but thankfully most do.

Like a lot of other people, we've been experiencing unusually COLD weather the past couple of days. I can't remember the last time we had this level of ice cover on the pond! The ice sculptures are beautiful, but I'm looking forward to the predicted warm up this week!

The de-icer and air stones have been in a few days now. Seems like it's been fighting this bitter cold really well.

Is that a 100 watt deicer? I had 2 of those that I used to protect my camera and light cables. Ran the cables up thru the hole in the middle. I tested both this year- neither one worked. Date on label was 2009!

Very nice. What program do you use to create the slideshow? The one I used to use got "updated" right out of existence & I'm looking for a replacement.

Great idea JBE! You‘ve motivated me to take more pics this year so I can do the same.

Windows Movie Maker, which no longer exists.
I've tried a couple other free ones in the past but they all tend to run really slow on my dinosaur of a computer.
