Calm Before the Storm

I would like to point your attention to the bird feeder at the top of the picture and not the birds themselves (you will understand in two shakes of a squirrels tail.) Speaking of squirrels we have a unique bird feeding system. The squirrel comes and hanging onto the tree with his back legs dumps all the seed on the ground. Sorry could not capture the squirrel in the act. He is too smart for me! The link below is the same spot and same feeder after a big storm we had last night. Quite pretty really.
