I thought it was very elegant looking.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer-You are right. Even if we don't deserve it, nature gives us beauty.<BR/><BR/>Ruthie- I haven't seen mealworms around here, and the peanuts cannot escape in my house. The chickadees are all over the peanut feeder too.<BR/><BR/>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-20420921428546213222008-01-14T21:39:00.000-05:002008-01-14T21:39:00.000-05:00It's good that the water quality of the river has ...It's good that the water quality of the river has improved.-The water in the Connecticut River where I live was also severely polluted in the 60's and 70's but has steadily improved since.-It offers good birding opportunities as well.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-5213674887285254882008-01-14T21:37:00.000-05:002008-01-14T21:37:00.000-05:00I liked that photo of the Chickadee and the peanut...I liked that photo of the Chickadee and the peanut. They hang on my nut feeder, too.<BR/><BR/>Your photos of the open water are so pretty, Ruth. It's nice to hear good news about the improvement in the water quality and that nature has adapted so well.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to have someone walk with me like The Becka does with you.
