Hi Sherrybear!!! WOW! Good to see you lady!

I just heard earlier this morning that it's only like 30* in parts of Florida today! Amazing!

What a good idea to do this and it appears the birdies really thought so too!

It's bitter cold here today too. -16c whatever that it in (F). My winter hero is the mail carrier!

Love your image! FUN ENTRY!!!

Hey thanks guys... must admit I am not use to the bird bath freezing solid... first tried pouring hot water in... it froze pretty fast... then figured the hot pot might melt some and keep it melted longer... its a heavy pot... did the trick.
Gonna stay cold for a while longer... might even snow thursday night... wouldnt that be a hoot... #8275657

Great shot Sherrybear, so kind of you to warm the birds. Hope your knee is AOK now.

I'd be driving my husband mad if we lived over there, the birds would be inside. Wonderful shot, best wishes to Glen! ~Pat #8276888

Hi Sherry,
I'm enjoying viewing your gallery filled with many wonderful images and this one is certainly a favorite. The birds look happy and love the way you captured the iridescence coloring on several of the birds.
Thanks for sharing,
Carla Capra #8437608

Sherry McClead March 07, 2010

I am so happy you have enjoyed my gallery Carla... these birds do have the most amazing coloring in the sun... to bad they are so loud and annoying... #8438226
