| Photo from 13 February, 2025 - Greenfinch |
A week or so ago I mentioned my habit of using my own photos to have personal calendars printed, and showed the January image I used for this year. Inspired by Ginny I'll try to make a habit of showing the rest at the start of each month. For February I chose another bird photo, this time a greenfinch sitting on the red bird feeder in the old cemetery. That feeder was a new addition there last winter, but is still there and in use. No doubt appreciated by several kinds of birds, as we've been having a persistently cold start to 2026.
My paternal grandmother Sally was born 3 February, 1900.
My maternal grandfather Hugo was born 4 February, 1901.
My mother was born 20 February, 1930.
I love the red bird feeder and it looks as though the greenfinch appreciates it, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious Birdfeeder (second try, so if there are 2 please delete)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, this must be a sad month for you. This is the perfect photo. The adorable red birdhouse with the bird on it! I remember this birdhouse, too. Thanks for the mention!
ReplyDeleteGinny, I don't find remembering family birthdays sad, if that's what you're referring to? Might be when someone recently passed away, perhaps, but now they're just... memories...
DeleteIt's nice to make a calendar with your own photos. Don McLean sang, "February made me shiver/ With every paper I delivered/ Bad news on the doorstep/ I couldn't take one more step...."
ReplyDeleteYour photo captures the character and curiosity of this beautiful little creature
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents ( maternal ) John and Catherine were both born in Dublin in 1901 , and my Mother ( again Dublin ) in 1924- generational similarities
