Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday, Weekend Reflections, Floral Friday Fotos,
and on Saturday, Saturday's Critters, and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. A Beautiful Day (Sky Watch Friday)
somewhere in northern Alabama, USA, December 22, 2018
We had clear skies and mild temperatures for our trip to my niece's house for our family Christmas party last Saturday.

2. Great Blue Heron (Weekend Reflections)
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, December 23, 2018
.
3. Pansy, Viola (Floral Friday Fotos)
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, December 26, 2018
Pansies and Violas are often used in the Winter landscape here in the southern United States. They can tolerate cold weather, but die in the Summer's heat. (The three metal poles are flag poles in front of a bank).

They are available in many colors, but it was these purple ones that really caught my eye!

4. Hawk (I'd Rather B Birdin' and Saturday's Critters)
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, December 19, 2018
Hawks usually fly away as soon as I stop the car, but I got this one an instant before it was airborne!

5. Christmas!
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, December 25, 2018
The wooden frame is real; the Nativity scene is painted (or printed).

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Have a wonderful weekend!

    So nice to see outdoor flowers. I love both pansies and violas. They are springtime flowers for us (will die in summer heat although I always struggle to keep mine alive). Do I see camillas blooming in the background? Happy New Year to you.
