Sue Persists in Trying to Feed the Birds

Sue purchased some bird seed after using up the small stash from James' funeral. She has returned to the park several times but enjoyed no luck even sighting birds, never mind enticing them for a visitation. But Sue is nothing if not persistent, and she has tried a few times. It is good for us to stretch our legs, and birds or other critters must find the provender since it has all disappeared by the subsequent visit.

Our last visit was on a typically bleak November afternoon, and I can prove it by showing this forlorn path in our little woods. ↓↓ November is, indeed the bleakest month. The landscape will actually look better when there is snow to brighten it up.

Never the less, Sue diligently fastened her PB+seed apple slices to branches,.

She looks for little sharp twigs on which to hang attach the slices.

She also leaves seeds in the crooks of larger trees.

As you can see from the first photo in this post, photo ops didn't exactly abound on that visit, but there were a few nice leaves on this little branch. Ya gotta snatch what you can at this time of year.

On the way out of the park, I spied one still colourful tree. I liked it juxtaposed with the derelict old factory on the other side of the river. I find the contrast between the splendid colour and a dingy building to be appealing for some reason.

It's not a bright, catchy photo, but the subdued tones represent that November day, and I think they convey a November mood quite well.

Oops forgot these two photos. Hopefully one will evoke a grin.
