A DAY OUT !!!!

Hubby had some time off during Christmas,So we took advantage of it,By going into the woods as much as possible..There are lots of places here that we go in our Rhino 4-wheeling.. We went to this one holler that is called Bills Branch,we can ride all day in this place..
we saw some deer,and we were grouse hunting while the season was still in...well he grouse hunts I just look for stuff...He tells me to look for grouse and tell him if I see one,well I don't make a comment because I don't know if I could tell him,so I don't try to look for them...

We saw some tracks of one and he got out to track it...I was so hoping that it was gone...and it was..I know,I know I shouldn't be that way,But I don't say anything about his hunting and he don't say anything about my not hunting.....it works for us....

Would you believe there are still shrooms everywhere,there was these green ones,

and these orange ones,there was some bright yellow ones to but I forgot to take a picture...

But all in all we had a great day out....I have decided to buy a new camera,I am not happy at all with my zoomed in pics,they are always a little fuzzy,so I have been checking on line to see what is out there with good zoom and affordable...so maybe in the near future I will have better pics...

With all the snow we have been having it has been so much fun watching the birds...

I love to watch them all,but my most favorite is the cardinal(we call him a red bird).

I have a lot of things in my house that has pretty red birds on them.

They just always look so proud..

I read that they mate for life,but if one dies they will find another mate..so they stay true until one or the other kicks the bucket....

And every time I see a male there is always a female with him..no matter how many males there is there is always a female for each one..

I tried to get a shot with them all together,but that is about impossible..

There was 4-6 pairs in the trees...

I think the female is very fancy looking,even though the male is prettier..

Look at the beak on this guy,he is so quick it is hard to get a picture..He is a fat little thing.... No one is gonna get t a bite because they are all trying to keep the other away,so they decide to eat together..

Hope you get out and enjoy some of what winter has to offer...it is cold,but bundle up and get out there and enjoy some of what God has given us......It is wonderful.....

This is what Shag the Cat does on those cold days and nights...

Not a bad idea!!!!!!

I hope all has a good rest of the week!!!!!
