Feeding and watching the birds is a favorite pastime of mine. I have many bird pictures in my archives but I chose a few recent ones for Terri’s Sunday Stills challenge.

Many thanks to Terri for her Sunday Stills challenge Feeding and watching the birds

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #328 – Winter

John has chosen Winter for this challenge. Our winters are usually mild here in coastal Georgia. There is sometimes frost on the ground and occasionally the temperature drops below freezing but snow is a rare sight.

I’ve lived on the Georgia coast since the mid 1970’s. The biggest snow storm I’ve ever seen here took place a few days before Christmas in 1989 when the several inches of snow stayed on the ground for a few days. Everything in coastal Georgia shut down. Roads and bridges were closed, including the bridges on Interstate 95. Sadly, I don’t have any photos to share.

A more recent snow storm occurred on January 3, 2018. The freezing rain and snow that came through that day caused road and bridge closures. For two days schools were out and government offices were closed. Coastal Georgia was transformed into a winter wonderland.

I’m not a cold weather person. The ice and snow are beautiful to see but I would be happy if we never had another snow or ice storm here.

Many thanks to our host JohnBo for the challenge Lens-Artists #328 – Winter

This July “Seasons” will be the theme for the entire month with a different season featured each week. “Winter” is the last challenge of the series..

In coastal Georgia, a day below freezing is rare and we only get snow or ice every few years. Still, we enjoy sitting by the fireplace when the temperature drops outside.

Quiet moment at the end of a hectic day — Staying warm by the fireplace

Occasionally there are snow flurries but the snow usually melts as soon as it hits the warm ground. The last time the snow stuck and accumulated a few inches was in 2018. Our neighborhood was like a winter wonderland for a few days.
