Beautiful shots, and yes, sometimes the sunrises do change that much in just a little while! Nice captures.
Nice shot, especially with the snow. When I see trees bending over houses, I think they are protecting them, just opposite of what you think of, at least most of the time. I can see how one might think it's nature reclaiming it's own also. The colors of this old structure show up so well with the snow!
Nice shot. Thanks for posting it.
It could be a plant called 'goat's beard', so please leave it and see what the seed pods become.
Hurry up, it's going to storm.
Great name, and I love the shot. I see the open mouth and nose. You live in a great place for capturing the mountains!
A quick look is impressive. Thanks for the explanations.

From watching them for a short while, I think you are correct that the one on the right is the female. She didn't fly, but the male flew twice while I was watching. I was in my car and didn't attempt to get out to get the shot!
Thanks to each of you for your prompt reply. I now know which hawks build nearby.
You-all are good at identifying birds. Is this a Red-Shouldered Hawk pair?
Thanks, everyone for taking a look and for your comments. This snow did not prevent road travel, as you can see from the photograph, only one vehicle had broken through but by noon, this road was mostly just wet. Roads clear off about first here, as I assume the dark pavement holds more heat. That's one of the things I enjoy about Tennessee snows...........they're usually not binding up for road traffic for long periods of time. We have had exceptions, but not a usual thing.
You are correct, lovely facial symmetry. Nothing compares with her smile and facial expressions tho.
What a heart-warming story. Thank you for sharing with us. Your GRAND doesn't look 93 years young!
