Crops & Clips: January, 2012 Meme Mashup

My weekly potpourri gathered from the archives features... a little game. I decided to pick a month at random and see how far I had to get into the month to find all five of the memes featured in this page. If possible, I would try for two, and since Critters occupy such large share of my portfolio, I placed a limit of five of my faves, to be divided equally (2 1/2 apiece) between Misty and Eileen.  I picked the month of January, 2012 for no good reason except maybe it reminds me of what I need to look for next month. I had to go all the way to the 18th before I found a couple of sky shots.

    HI Kenneth What can I say about these absolutely stunning shots! FANTASTIC is the word I am going to use. Mind you I think that Vireo has a bad attitude, don't think he likes his photo being taken! The reflections shots are marvellous. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

    Happy New Year. - Wow what a great selection of photos you found. The birds are great. I love the Eagle and the Painted Bunting (such a colorful bird). I also really liked the hawk on the fence and the sun rays peeking through the clouds.
