You Capture: My Winter (so far)

This week's You Capture challenge was "Winter."

We were asked to show what our winter looked like.

I suppose if I still lived in Florida, I'd have very different pictures to show you, but in the DC area, winter mostly looks like this...

Sometimes, in the winter, it's just cold... no snow... maybe a little ice.

That's when my bird feeder likes to wear it's favorite sombrero, complete with ice tassels.

Sometimes,in the winter, we find a winter wonderland, but that often looks like work for the grown ups.

However, the kids love it!

(Don't let that face fool you...  he's lovin' it too.)

In the winter, we get visitors from furry critters and as long as they are outside, I'm okay with that.
(But those long-tailed, squeaky mice better stay the heck out of my laundry room!)

The winter sunrises occur a little later in the day, so sometimes I can catch a pretty one on camera.

But, a lot of time, winter finds us indoors, playing games or maybe watching Phineas and Ferb and drinking hot cocoa. 

Oh, did you think I was watching that on my own?

Well... I would, but this kid keeps me company.

 

Go check out some more winter coziness at Beth's blog, I Should Be Folding Laundry.

p.s.  Just in case anyone saw yesterday's post and thought (despite my disclaimer) that that picture was actually my kitchen, I wanted you to know that my kitchen actually looks like this.

Could be cleaner, has definitely been messier, but never, ever like that picture I posted yesterday!!  Yikes.

(I say this because even my own daughter was confused.)
