Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

It warmed up enough to melt some water in the copper bird bath. The solar-powered pump was able to create several streams of water through the ice.

Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey.

The leaves on the Japanese maple tree have faded from bright red to brown. Yesterday, some birds found the newly renovated bird bath. They will have to wait until next spring for me to install the solar-powered fountain. The three inquisitive but wary does looked on as I was taking pictures of the statue on the bird bath. Now that it is hunting season, the deer know that they need to stay within 400 feet of a house in order to stay safe.
