Winter, Winter, and more Winter...isn't Spring here yet?

I'll be honest. Winter isn't my favorite season. Here in Minnesota, it gets WAY too cold for my liking. However with the cold can come some great photo opportunities (snow, seasonal birds, etc.) so I try to get out and photograph as much as possible in this giant outdoor freezer. Here are a few photos that I took a couple weeks ago.
Some Pine Tree branches covered in snow and ice.
A male Northern Cardinal. (Note that this isn't a seasonal bird species here, we have them year-round)
Some snow close-up.

Yes, an adult male Northern Cardinal. I hope to photograph some of this species unique courtship behaviors this Spring.

I like the cardinal pic too. I like him off-center like that. ~Mom
