Sparrow and Roses/Top Shot

Sparrow on rose bush

Believe it or not, the weather close to Lake Ontario has been warm enough for a few hardy roses to still be flowering!

I am linking to Madge's Weekly Top Shot.

    super photo. I wonder if the winds we had over the last couple of days will have killed what's left of the roses now?

    Such a nice portrait of this little avian!

    I think the reason it's so warm there is y'all sent your cold air down here! Yikes, it was freezing this morning - literally! Please take it back!
