The holidays are a special time, and I enjoy seeing the festive colors echoed in nature.
The snowfall makes a beautiful backdrop for the cardinals as they move along the trees searching for berries.
Blue Jays visit the bird feeders often when it’s snowing.
The gorgeous sunrises during the holidays are like nature’s own celebration of lights.
Holly Berries provide a festive burst of color against the snow.
Liam MacGruder, his bird and animal friends that visit, and I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
Contest
***ONE winner will be drawn from everyone who posts on my guest blog post about, ‘Nature’s Beauty For The Holidays!’ on Delilah’s blog between 12 December 2021– 19 December 2021, and will win a tote bag.
