Just Outside My Window

[ElusivButterfly]

This was outside my window this morning as I had breakfast. Not such a good picture, BUT I got it

Oh cool D! Thank you....I love all the red birds, but cardinals are my fav. They are our state bird.

I love watching the birds and Cards are my favorite !
Btw this is a cool thread.
I am so ready for spring!
Little rain makes for a very boring view.
So I will just color it

Cool pics Syb! Thank you for sharing!

I think everyone is ready for Spring...I noticed yesterday that the pear trees are coming into bloom!

They are cute....I love all the finches we have...I used to be able to see tons of gold finches...I really love their color. We also used to have 2 couples...ruby throated hummingbirds...I sure do miss them...They came each year but I rarely get to much here at this place...squirrels and some basic birds...Don't even know what they are but there are tons of them. They aren't pigeons but they remind me of them cause they flock all over and make a bunch of noise.

I hate BlueJays.... pretty but messy... we have a ton of those and then starlings, crows, finches, etc. Never mind squirrels, fisher cats, deer, moose, racoons, etc

This is my favorite building in all of Richmond

The old train station

We drove through Richmond on I-95 at Christmas and saw that building. I slowed down to try to get a better look, but I had no idea what it was. Now I do.

Here are some picks of a hawk we saw feeding on a squirrel in the median of a busy road. Have to break them up into 2 posts.

It was closed for the longest time. They renovated it and it now has stores in it and I was told, although I am not sure about this, that they either opened the train station or plan to. I haven't been in there yet. I want to get in there and see if I can get to one of those windows up top. I would love to get in costume and have some photos taken from one of the balconies. Will probably never happen but I plan on trying...lol Anyway, I was told that they did a spectacular job in the renovations.

I loved the pics Syb! Happy Springtime to you!

I am sorry about the weather. I've been paying attention to the weather channel, looks like several states had the tornados this weekend. Hope you and yours are safe and sound.
