Winter Wonderland

Good evening everyone! Tonight I thought I would share some photos I took after a snow blizzard we had a few days ago. Michigan has been having a really mild winter this year. I would say we have only had about a week of snow altogether since December. The storms we have had though have been great for picture taking. Hope you enjoy! :D

Lives of Domesticated Animals

Hello everyone! Tonight I thought I would share some pictures I’ve taken of two of my pets. Our other cat rarely comes out for photo ops. Must be she’s camera shy.

This first picture is of Bandit sleeping in one of his favorite spots. He loves this spot because he can watch a lot of the action in the house, but still be enough out of the way to not get stepped on while he sleeps.

This next picture was hard to get because it was very hard to get both animals to look at the leaf at the same time. Yes, Bandit is wearing a leash in the picture. He is an inside cat, but sometimes we take him outside. On an average day Bandit will spend about 10 mins at the back door wall meowing as loud as he can to go outside. We don’t know why he likes to go outside so much because he never gets past the deck.

The last picture was taken across the street from our house at the pond. Murphy loves to go exploring through the weeds and check out all the new smells. I’m not sure exactly what he was looking at, but I’m sure it was some type of bird.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! :D

Dripping Icicles

Good evening everyone! Tonight I thought I would share some photos I took of icicles hanging off of the greenhouse window at the back of our house. We have been having a lot of drastic weather changes lately. These icicles formed after a snowstorm that we had, and at the time I took the shots they were starting to slowly melt due to increasing temperatures. The day after I took these pictures the icicles had disappeared as quickly as they had formed. Hope you enjoy! :D

Footprints in the Snow

Wow! I have not posted in such a long time! I’ve been so busy lately with school and work that time just flies by with no postings. Anyway, tonight I thought I would share a few photos that I took of animal prints I found around our house. I love the way the snow came out sparkling in the photos. Hope you enjoy! :D
