Hummingbird # 19 – 2013

Here is a hummingbird we made this fall for the Wild Bird Store located in Calgary. We used a Spectrum iridescent green for the wings and tail feathers. In order to provide longevity for this bird,  strengthening braid was soldered in against the bottom of the body and beak.

A Change of Scenery

For the past 3 weekends we have had a big dump of snow, with melting and street snow removal in between.

We did manage to put up our Christmas lights on our home and the Colorado Green Spruce tree in our front yard during a few days of much warmer weather after the first 2 weekends of winter storms.

This weekend, November 16 we were once again hit with another winter blast, except this snow storm’s snow was lighter, with less moisture, coupled with high winds, whiteout conditions and much colder temperatures. Our winter wonderland is no doubt here to stay till next April 2014.

For those of you from around the world who view our website and Facebook enjoy our outdoor festive tree.
