Happy New Year from the Cats and the Birds!
Today was fresh and green, just like the new year, and I was called into the garden.
The cats joined me for a while, Tiger content to inspect and meander,
Benji, escaping under the fence.
I filled the wheelbarrow with winter debris, then looked for signs of new life. I found it in the hellebores I planted last year; I can’t wait for them to blossom.
Soon the hummingbirds dropped by in their finest dress and my day was made full.
Happy New Year from the Cats and the Birds!

Happy New Year Susanne! 🎆
Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too!
Happy New Year, Susanne! I can never get that close to my hummingbirds in the backyard, beautiful photos! Even the 200mm lens can’t get that close unless I was ten feet away.
Thanks so much, John! My Lumix has a nice zoom on it, and works well for my hummers!
Ahh, I see, it does have a super zoom! ❤️
Happy New Year, Susanne!
Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too!
Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year! XO
Thank you! And same to you! 🙂
Happy New Year Susanne!
Thanks, Graham. Just found another comment in my Spam folder! So strange. Guess I better check more often! Happy New Year to you!
No worries. I seem to end up in spam folders on a regular basis!
I wish it was that warm here! We have been below freezing all week and it is going to be a high for the week tomorrow – a balmy 39F! I love your backyard photos!! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much! It was cold but still pleasant. And I was working in the yard and that kept me warm, even without a coat. Happy New Year to you, too!
Happy New Year 🥳
Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too!
It is cold & grey outside my windows. The green will return soon… I hope.
Yes, that’s our hope! I got a taste of spring but winter is far from over. It was a nice foretaste. 😊
Happy New Year Susanne – how lovely to see a hint of spring already!
Thank you, Sarah! It was a wonderful foretaste!
You had nice weather for photos. Torrential rain and storm warnings here! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. It was a very pleasant day for working in the yard. Winter’s still here but it was a nice foretaste of spring. Hope you avoid the worst of the stormy weather.
