I wonder how these tiny little birds survive these winters, but they always seem to.

Very nice shot of the little Sparrow Marcie. Happy Holidays too! :)

This is wonderful. Very simple, yet exquisite in its detail.

Toni on 24th December 2008 @ 8:34pm

Oh, how beautifully simple, Marcie. Priceless.

Ginnie on 24th December 2008 @ 8:36pm

Please, don't "plumerais la tete".... :)
I love this little birdy, great shot Marcie! You must have a lot of snow!

How do you find these? Gorgeous, sweet and tender. Brrr...now put your gloves on.

Mindy on 24th December 2008 @ 11:39pm

It seems so fragile and all alone, but I'm sure there's purpose in its adventures.

Sean on 25th December 2008 @ 12:01am

Simply wonderful...he's so small and delicate...
I love how you've framed him, on that twig and near that tiny patch of frozen water.

So forlorn. So alone.

Birds sure have it rough in the winter! He looks so alone and cold!

Andy on 25th December 2008 @ 9:54am

So beautiful. The tiniest of creatures with the largest of hearts.

Have a fabulous day, Marcie and thanks so much for sharing your incredible photographs

Very sweet and lovely - the texture in the snow is terrific and the little puffed up bird is perfect.
