Flowers from Biltmore

When we were at Biltmore House and Gardens in November,  we not only saw beautiful Christmas flowers, but we also saw many other other beautiful flowers, including orchids. I'm sorry that I do not know the names of these,  but there were lots and lots of gorgeous flowers throughout the indoor gardens.  I need to go back and learn more about these beauties!!!

If you have missed any of my other posts from Biltmore,  please go to my sidebar and scroll down to my Labels.  Click on Biltmore and you can see all of the posts which I have done from there so far.  Today,  here are six more of the gorgeous flowers from Biltmore.

Many bloggers are sharing beautiful pictures of flowers during our winter season.  The flowers remind us all that Spring is right around the corner here in the USA...  This has been a wicked winter for many folks ---so seeing some beautiful flowers hopefully will bring a smile to your faces.

However, Mother Nature is wreaking havoc on many parts of our country right now (not us this time) and also in other countries, such as Australia.  Let's keep all of the people in the path of these horrible storms in our thoughts and prayers.

I Heard them Say Thank You!!

With all of the winter weather we have been having lately,  my little backyard birds have enjoyed eating and drinking water at the Adams Restaurant.  Here are pictures of some of these little Cuties.  Above is one of my MANY Goldfinches.  Below are more.

I love this picture of the little Bluebird watching the Northern Flicker at the suet feeder.  The Bluebird was patiently waiting her turn!

The sun came out for a little while---which gave me an opportunity to get some good pictures of some of the birds at the feeder.  This Red-Bellied Woodpecker is a regular  visitor.

I love this picture of one of our female Bluebirds...We have four Bluebirds who are always together --and they come to the feeders regularly --especially when the weather is bad.

I love seeing our Northern Flickers...  This is a good picture since you can see the yellow tail feathers... Isn't he gorgeous?

Finally, this bird,  even though it is pretty,  can be a nuisance to many of us who feed the birds.  So far though,  I have been very lucky.. This is the first Starling I have seen at the feeders this winter.  (Sorry---I originally called it a Grackle for some reason.)  I hope this one doesn't invite his friends to come to my 'table'...  My restaurant is NOT for him --nor for those pesky Squirrels... ha

Have a wonderful day --and remember to feed our feathered friends,  especially in the cold winter!!!!

Hope you had a good weekend.  I did more work on my Family History, but I took time out last night to see a wonderful movie,  "The Lost Valentine" starring Betty White and Jennifer Love Hewitt.   EXCELLENT movie even though I cried like a baby!!!!!! Hope you saw it...  Both George and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hugs,
