The Changing Seasons, January 2020
This hasn’t been a normal January. We had no measurable snow and only 4 out of 31 days have been lower than average January temperature. Every other day was higher than average bringing this month in as the third warmest recorded.
Most of my pictures this month were birds. Without snow to make the landscape interesting, there hasn’t been much to photograph. Glad I have the birds!
At the very end, I realized my Christmas cactus is blooming again and my big purple orchid is about to bloom too.

I almost missed it!

I’m always glad to see the beautiful birds you photograph Marilyn. I guess a warmer January is a mixed blessing — less miserable perhaps, but more evidence of climate change?

The weather maybe changeable but the birds seem to be a constant.

Lovely pictures and birds, of course.

There wasn’t very interesting stuff going on outside anyway. Just rainy, cold, and gray. It didn’t make great pictures.

I know it’s supposed to be a warm January (sequel to “A Warm December”?) but I’ve been cold to my bones. Guess it’s because I have less blubber on my body. Is this a cautionary tale?
Meantime, we have about two weeks till pitchers & catchers are due to report for spring training. Will it be cold in the grapefruit and cactus leagues? Do you really care?
