...also known as Corkscrew Hazel and Harry Lauder's Walking Stick. While I was taking these the chickadees acted as though I didn't exist...they were very intent on the bird feeder...

Thank you ELK! It was fun taking those pics! The chickadees make good companions in the snow..

Lovely pictures! Is that tree a contorted filbert? My former neighbor had one that I just loved.

Great pic of the chickadee! I tried my best to get one, but the sweet little things wouldn't hold still long enough.

Thanks for coming to BearSwampReflections for a visit. You're welcome anytime!

I love anything corkscrew. Sweet chickadee, and amazing they didn't pay attention to you.

Wonderful images and patterns.
