Although many birds have left us for the south, there are still flocks of geese travelling overhead. Our winter birds are enjoying themselves. This week, I have had chickadees and slate grey juncos bathing in a puddle on the driveway.
The garden flowers are mostly finished for the year. Some lupins, pansies and bachelor buttons are still blooming.
