"The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that too,
unconditional assistance. Co-operation which needs consideration
is a commercial contract and not friendship. Conditional co-operation
is like adulterated cement which does not bind". M.K.Gandhi

Sometimes,just hanging around is exactly the most rewarding thing to do...huh? 

I believe this is a WAXWING, I've never seen one before it appeared a few days ago at the 'winter food kitchen' 

Wow! Food!!! It makes me feel like dancing :) 

I think the most beautiful 'flower forms' I have ever seen in the winter here in Dalsland,Sweden 

The heavy frost created 'flowers' on the trees

I believe this is a woodpecker, it's amazing when it wants to hide,it just stays dead stil in the tree so in winter it's not easy to see
