I wasn't expecting to see her. Gave me a smile.

5. I like its name. Does kinda sound like something bad though.

lol

9. Woodpeckers are so cool looking

Love getting photos of them. These are very nice! I miss getting photos of birds, it is just too cold here, for me and the birds. But if you are going to get woodpecker photos, it does help to have no leaves on the trees.

Anyway, viewing these made me miss bird photography. Sigh.

10. It's one of the few good things about living here - mild winters.

Wet winters though. Rains a lot here during the winter months.

I'm hoping to go back to those woods over the weekend. I spotted 3 different types of woodpeckers.
