April (Snow) Showers Bring May (...jorly Angry) Birds
When you say "April Showers" (which is the theme for this week's #KillerPix Photography Contest), most people think rain. However, given the current weather here in New Hampshire, my brain immediately screamed that lovely, four-letter S word. Yep - SNOW!
Good ol' Mr Robin (the quintessential springtime bird) was a bob-bob-bobbing along, looking for some tasty treats, but all he got for his trouble was a bunch of snow on his tail. If you look closely, you can see little blurry white blobs around his head, because it was still snowing when I took this snap. Believe you me, he was not at all impressed. 😊
While we did get another round of wicked frosty rain (doesn't that sound better than snow?) yesterday, I actually took this picture in my Durham NH yard on April 8th, 2015. Guess there's no question weird weather isn't a new thing in New England.

Hehe.
I don't believe it
Upvoted and following you
Thanks!
I don't believe it either - LOL! 😊
How - bout that global warming. I'm freezing my arse off tonight way down here on the 3rd coast in South TX. Maybe we'll get a refund on their proposed carbon tax for the climate change initiative. Ha. You know I remember a day in my freshman year in highschool circa late 70's where we got 6in of snow in May in okc. I guess that was because of all the leaded gasoline being used back then. Frikin ridiculous. ..stupid humans.
Yeah, isn't it awesome? I remember the blizzard of '78, but that was in February, not May, but I wouldn't be surprised if New England got hit in May around that time as well. Go home, Mother Nature - you're drunk. 😜
Brerrrr rabbit. The sad thing is it's gonna be like 90 something here in no time, that, and all the damned mosquitos will be out because we hot a little rain. The good thing is weather is all I really got to bitch about.
Oh, my! I had no idea you still had snow lingering up there! Beautiful shot of the robin, though! Great catch! 😊
Yep, it's hanging on ridiculously this year. And thanks!
