| It's like trying to get a photo of a group of kids..everyone looks elsewhere and does their own thing. |
Today's visitors. And yes, that IS a blue sky here in northern WV.
I kept the photos small because there are a ton...click to enlarge, of course.
I ordered the lumber for the new porch. Not looking forward to that project. As much as I love painted porches, I'm not going through that again. Stain it is. I have a knack for buying that special kind of paint that peels within 2 minutes of drying. I am done sanding, stripping, painting and threatening death to anyone that even looks at the porch until it had been dry for 5 days. (The Porch Paint Saga has been going on for 6 yrs, and has thrown many paint specialists into deep depression).
The Penguins game last night was FANTASTIC! Traffic was easy, the crowd was fun, the Pens won 3-0...and we get to do this again tomorrow night! The only downside to sporting events?
$7 beer...good heavens.
The Pens warming up:
Yup, stain that porch as soon as the wood cures! We replaced our deck last year and as soon as the 'green' wood was drying, I slathered on a good coat of Thompson's Weather Seal. :) Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a plethora of bird feeder visitors! The deer is a welcome sight! :)
I don't recommend the opaque coloured stain either. It's fine for vertical surfaces, but I've had to restain the floors of my decks every year.
ReplyDeleteI saw 6 robins today! They must be migrating, because I never see that many adults together. Sadly, we also got about 3" of snow today and it's still coming down. I doubt those robins will want to stay.
You got a female and a male red-bellied woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteHi Abe!
ReplyDeleteWe've got pairs of Red-bellied, Downy and Hairy woodpeckers that visit daily.
So far, only 1 male northern Flicker and 1 female Pileated have been in the yard. Would love to see more of the Pileateds.
Great assortment of birds! What a lot of patience it must have taken to get all of these shots. (The Caps won, too ... LONG overtime game, and I fell asleep and missed the end of it. Fortunately I was on my own couch, and not in the stands at the arena this time. THAT would have been embarrassing.) Game #2 tonight!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed "bird watching" through your camera! Great pictures!
