More snowday colors!

https://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C The lights are bright on a small tree in the neighbor's yard, when I open the back door in the pre-dawn light. Then, no partridges yet, nor a pear tree... But a lot of birds come to feed in the apple tree at the bottom of the yard! Sign in to see full entry.
