You can witness all the fucks the birds give, especially the Juncos. “Snow? Hail? Fuggetaboudit. I’m EATIN’ heayuh!”
Gracie trying to catch a bird.
She normally doesn’t like snow, but this isn’t very deep, and there’s a hard crust on it.
And a four-point buck in the distance. Happy New Year, everyone!

Jinx actually playing the fresh snow yesterday for about 30 seconds, happily digging in it, then suddenly ran for the shelter of the garage — TOO COLD!!! Happy New Year!

The juncos are my favorite winter birds – so well dressed.
I like their little executioner’s hoods. We generally only see them in the cold months.
Off topic – you like interesting photography, have you seen any from this guy – http://500px.com/saileralan – he photographs things at the exact second they are shot with a pellet gun.
I have seen some of those. Kinda creepy, kinda beautiful.
