US Botanical Gardens

During our Christmas break we headed to the Botanical Gardens in Washington DC.  They have a nice
 display of poinsettias and some of 
DC buildings created with natural materials. 

 I love the contrast of the greens and reds 
throughout the gardens.



I think Abe's head is an acorn!


 We walked around and looked all the
 different colors of poinsettias. The green houses were full of all sorts of tropical plants.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you 
had a great Christmas.

Winter Birdies

Downy Woodpecker
We had a little snow storm today.  The snow always brings out all the birds to my feeders. These pictures were taken from inside, so forgive the dirty window glares.  Enjoy!
Red Headed Woodpecker

Cardinal;  I love the red against the snow.
