January 10th - Frost and Grey Skies

[MapleRidge]

We had a thick blanket of fog before sunrise this morning and with the air temperature around -9C I was expecting a thick frost to coat everything. The fog lifted faster than I thought and we only had a light frost form on the vegetation. It was still rather pretty and the pics look as though they are monochrome

There were few birds around the feeders today, and only caught pics of a Chickadee and a Nuthatch:

Ah!! these made me smile which is what it is all about

I'm guessing White breasted Nuthatch and Black-capped Chickadee (trying to learn).
