Everything is frozen. I know that doesn’t seem like much of an event to my readers, um, say, anywhere much north of me, but here in coastal Texas, things are not supposed to freeze! The water in my rain collectors has a thick frozen layer on top.
The water in the bird bath is frozen solid. The grass crunches under foot. Every leaf on every tree, shrub and plant is FROZEN!
Even a little bird.
And last night was only the first of four predicted consecutive nights in the low 20s.
That first photo is gorgeous. The last one broke my heart. Poor wee thing.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how unusual it must be for you to endure such cold. Try to stay warm and keep on taking photos.. they're wonderful!
Well, then, no reason to live in Texas anymore...my parents lived in McAllen and Mission for a while. The weather was superb! The weather was the only draw ...Little bird, ahhh.
ReplyDeleteOh no! The poor bird. I'm sad now.
ReplyDeleteCrap.
:(
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty and sadness at once, very poignant indeed.
ReplyDeleteellen the ice frozen into the bird bath is beautiful. i imagine a lot of animals will be caught by surprise by the cold as their minds and bodies won't know what to do. have a lovely evening and stay warm. steven
ReplyDeletePoor sweet bird. We have weather coming too, I think. But strangely it was almost 50 degrees here in the mountains today! Weird.
ReplyDeleteWe are trying for zero tonight with snow still on the ground.
ReplyDeleteStay warm, the south shall rise again.
Poor little bird, so sad.
ReplyDeleteI can no longer feel my feet. We are looking forward to temps in the 30's by next weekend. Tonight will be in the minus category and I am not a happy kamper!
oH, SORRY! You are caught in a big freeze across the southwest.
ReplyDeletePoor bird! He doesn't know what to do.
Oh nooooo, the poor little bird :0( I was going to write something stupid until I saw the last pic and then I knew my feathered son would never forgive me!
ReplyDeleteI'm like Distracted, I was going to write something silly til I saw the poor bird. Now I am just more grateful than ever for my house!
ReplyDeleteThe bird got me.
ReplyDeleteOh poor bird. This cold is so hard on all of you in the South, especially the ones who have to live outside. I think it's going to normalize in a couple of days for you.
ReplyDeleteThe bird! Poor little bird. :(
ReplyDeleteThings like that make me so incredibly sad. He probably flew south for the winter thinking he'd be nice and toasty warm...but that's not the case.
I hope things warm up a bit for you soon.
