Not Abstract Thursday ....

If I thought yesterday's weather was nice .... today was even better!

We had unseasonably warm temps and I took full advantage of that by spending a few hours sitting out on the deck.  The chipmunks, squirrels and birds were all so happy that I was out there! They were all over me and the deck.

I heard and saw some Blue Jays nearby and was surprised when they came right down to the deck railing to snatch up the peanuts!  I was no more than 8-10 feet away.  A Tufted Titmouse also surprised me!  Please see the extra!  All of these pictures only have a slight crop to them .... that's how close I was!
