1/8/14 In Flight~

Ali's Pic: This little guy is a Nuthatch. He obliged me by flying a little so he could mimic the balloons taking off. I was totally surprised by the color of the inside of his wings. A friend described the Nuthatch as a bird that didn't have much to say but likes to say it a lot.:)
Marci's Pic: On our frosty morning commute to the kids school we had a gorgeous sunrise topped off by low flying hot air balloon's making their daily trek down our valley. I was really hoping to stump Ali with this one ;), but alas, she found an excellent accompaniment to it with ease!
