Sun and lichen

Today has been much warmer and sunny following thin ice on the roads first thing. Our son in law arrived early afternoon and removed the screens in the downstairs windows. I shall have to clean the windows more often! And it has made a huge difference in what I can photograph through the window. The bluebirds are around and I hope they will take to the new nesting box.

Several people have asked for pictures of the new pup. We don't live near so the shot in the extra is not mine but our son's. The pup seems to be called Willy at present but that may not be final!
