Wintertime

My entry to #treetuesday hosted by @old-guy-photos.

Without our beautiful tree we would be living in a desert. A barren desolate land without shade, vegetation and the animals and birds that depend on nesting or perching in a tree.

Tiny, the little red squirrel, lives in the trees and they produce the acorns he likes to eat.

Tiny is eating an acorn as he sits in the snow with the spruce trees behind him.

It looks like he has eaten more than one with the shells left on the ground under him. Tiny, as a squirrel will do, pried off the shell of the acorn to get the inner kernel.

Snow-laden trees in the back yard after a storm.

The sun breaks through in the morning.

One day of sunshine and the snow melts off the tall tree.

Paw prints in the snow from the critters who came by to see if any food left out for them.

I’ll leave you now with a reminder of spring. 🌸 Always a flower created by @dswigle 🌺

Lilacs are one of the first bushes to blossom and leave their sweet scent floating in the air. To walk by and catch a whiff of their tantalizing odor lifts my spirit higher.

Hi @myjob. Haha his little tummy does look full. Tiny never seems to get enough. I think he takes a lot of the nuts I give him and stores them away for another time.

Oh, the snow-laden pines are always so romantic and beautiful looking to me. Picture perfect, just like a greeting card.

I was so happy to see Tiny scampering about. We must teach him how to pick up his shells after he munches. :)

Thank you for the mention! The lilacs pull me into their inner circle of fragrance, every single time! Who doesn't love them!!!!???

Have a great night, Jo!

Beautiful post, @redheadpei! Trees are remarkable also for the oxygen they generate! I cannot wait for the lilacs to appear in the spring. They won’t blossom here until May!

Thanks @jayna. Yes trees are the guardians of the earth and without them we would perish. I am enjoying the winter but look forward to spring. 😊

Hi Jo, thank goodness for the trees that give the little squirrels food in winter. I so love you snow scenes.

Thanks Angie. Yes the trees provide food for him.

Tiny was just here and I gave him some cashews. He is spoiled.

The cats were going nuts watching him through the window.
