New visitor

We had a new visitor in the yard today. Have never seen this guy before. He is a Rose Breasted Grosbeak. Apparently they are quite populous here in the summer for breeding, but I guess I just missed them. Anyways, this guy hung around for a few pics.

Frosted tips

No, not a new hair colour. We had a light fog all day today that seemed to crystalize on the branches and needles all around the garden.
New catalogues from nurseries and growers have the garden juices starting to percolate again so it won't be long now.
