DuskAfter a snowy day
in Vienna
The light was fading fast when I found this little fellow
among the rosehips!
There was at least a dozen
of these birds
sitting among the branches
of a large rosebush.
They took flight when I approached.
Only one
trusted me.

It is so very comforting to know that even in the doldrums of winter, one is not far from nature's creatures. I am always rewarded with a sense of calmness upon watching our fair feathered friends.

So chilly and such a charming little bird.
ReplyDeleteGreat excitement in our neck of the woods yesterday afternoon.
A plane crash landed on the Hudson and all 155 people saved - in spite of some of them dipping into the chilly water.
Cold indeed!
Oh, how wonderful to find rose blooms among the snow! That could lift the mood of anyone!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the trusty female Hausperling!
Beautiful images Merisi. Don't worry about commenting. Do when you can. Its alright with me.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the snowy rose. there is something so poetic about it.
These are beautiful pictures! I love the contrast of the color of the rose against the snowy white background. But I feel sorry for that poor little bird! He must be freezing! :)
ReplyDeletei wish i could persuade my (94 year old) born-in-Wien mum to try her hand online. i think she would truly appreciate your words and photos.
ReplyDeleteshe's technophobic in the extreme but perhaps i'll bring my laptop and let her have a look.
I have to say that last rose photo is superb!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is an indescriable beauty of roses in snow.
