My blog, like life, is a mixture of all sorts of things . . . gardening, nature, crafts and photography. Right now it's the time of year when the focus is more on the non-gardening things I love to do. But I'm always thinking and dreaming of gardening.

The 12 Birds of Christmas

©

The 12 Days of Christmas - my rendition with birds.

On the first day of Christmas my camera snapped for me ... a cardinal in a bare tree and then continuing on ...

2 swans a swimming

3 robins feeding

4 ducks a swimming

5 cowbirds snacking

6 turkeys gobbling

7 geese a lined up

8 sparrows feeding

9 doves a resting

10 geese a flying

11 ducks a sitting

and
On the twelfth day of Christmas my camera snapped for me ... 12 geese a honking

I'm looking forward to taking more photos of feathered lens friends next year.

  2. I'll tuck you in today, then I'll move the link to the 12th Day on the 6th of January. Lots of fun work collecting the dozen bird pictures!

  3. Some numbers were easier to find than others Of course the higher numbers have to be the ducks and geese.

  4. I am impressed that you got such great pictures, and all the perfect number! I have a hard time with any bird picture. These are wonderful.

    I like your new banner also.
    Happy New Years!

  15. Very nicely done. The cardinal in a bare tree is so much more colorful and festive than a partridge in a pear tree.
