I braved the 8 degree temperatures this morning because the fog last night lead to a beautiful coating of frost this morning. Add the gorgeous frost with a good dose of sunshine, and it was a perfect morning for taking photos. We found four hawks in the tree who were willing to pose for a few shots...they didn't seem to mind too much that I was there...this first one was even stretching his feathers and giving me some great poses...
The kittens have a special little door on the chicken coop that they can squeeze through to get inside to stay warm. The top row of laying boxes has been claimed by cats, and the chickens dont seem to mind :)

Those are gorgeous! The second picture tickled me as I think the hawk looks like a man holding his jacket open for you to look at his "watches, jewelry, etc." for sale! I love hawks!

Hi there,
I mistakingly came across your blog about 1.5 years ago and have been reading it ever since. I love it! Thank you for all the beautiful photos, tips, recipes, etc. You are superwoman!
I'm sure you are already aware, but I think your daughter is photographed in the February, 2011 Ladies' Home Journal (page 50).
Looking forward to more of your inspiration.
Best,
Veronique (Antioch, CA)

I love pictures of hoar frost! The hawks are cool, too. :)

I spent the morning doing the same thing. I am envious of your hawk pictures. I sooo want to get good bird pictures, but I never do. I might have got some good crow pics today if I had my other lens, but I would have prefered hawks--- not that I don't love crows- they were so fun to listen to talking to each other and making noises I haven't heard them make before.
You are a fast picture uploader by the way- I am still getting mine up and I am not going to edit any just so I can actually get mine on my blog.

I heart the frosted chain link fence. Oh.My.Goodness! So cool!

This might be true Ginger...but Utah does get spring a lot earlier than us, and this, I am jealous of :) Next time you come up here to visit you need to give mea call so we can hang out!!!

I think Idaho cold is much preetier than Utah cold:)

I thought I heard someone outside at your place...I bet we were taking pics at the same time! We should have braved the cold together! Did you get some good shots? It was soooo pretty this morning!
