Outside My Window

A Pretty Male Downy Woodpecker


Outside my window, I see a woodpecker singin',


sittin' on a branch,


I wish I knew what he's thinkin'!!


Getting his feathers all fluffed at my presence,

I am not discouraged!!

What beautiful Photo Captures!!!

"The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope;
big stars were shining over the silent fields;
here and there the dark pointed firs stood up
with snow powdering their branches
and the wind whistling through them."

Glad you say you can comment again, in my blog!!!!

Yes, e-mail is fine, for answering questions.

Good, you agree with my premise, in my today's post.

Thank you for liking the new blog look, on my blog. :-)

If my computer connection holds, I'll email you about making blog look changes. You said you didn't ever want to try to again. -sigh- But I have a way to "practice." ,-)

Hi Debbie, the Downy is one of my favorite woodies. They are so cute. Your photos are lovely.

Farm Girl said...

That is amazing shot of that woodpecker. I have a red flicker that I need to try and get a shot of, I just love that you do this.

Andee said...

Amazing! Such great pictures.

Ellie said...

Your shots of this cute wee bird are wonderful.

Linda said...

I enjoyed seeing YOUR woodpecker! We have a pair that live in the elm tree in our back yard. I never fail to be thrilled at the sight of that red patch and the zebra pattern of his feathers!

Love the smaller woodpeckers! (Big ones too)

Karen said...

Super! I never get birds like this at my feeder. Lovely captures Debbie.

Tammy said...

Nice shots of him, Debbie. You must not have screens on your windows, as I do...they sure hinder photography.

I love your choice of words.

Adrienne said...

Love them!!! He's cute!

Nancy said...

They are so wee and wonderful. Great captures, Debbie! :)

Nancy said...

WOW, is all I can say....these are amazing shots...I need you to teach me how to do that......

I too wonder what animals are thinking as well as people when I see that stare in one's eyes....Maybe it's because I have such an active imagination I don't know.... I think he's thinking "Do you want to come out here and we'll make some holes together"....

Have a great day....
