Thanks Denis, yah the snow was not that bad but it was all cloudy and dark so the colour is not able to really pop due to my lens only being a 4.0-5.6...

Colin,
Lovin' the 1st Wood Duck photo, with the flakes of snow (Brrrr) laying on him.
As always all your photos are stunning.
Well done.
Meghan

I was going to pick a favourite, but I can't.  The wood duck is stunning, the female cardinal and american goldfinch in the snow are stellar and I love the 'tude on the male downy.  Colin, your pictures are always wonderful - framed beautifully, great composition, etc. etc.  They are very peaceful looking.

Ditto, ditto and ditto!
Stunning shots!
Helps one to remember how much beauty abound during the snowy season... IF we allow ourselves to see.
Thanks for the reminder!
