If you live in an area with year round hummingbirds where temps suddenly plunged, tape hand warmers (available at sporting goods stores) to the bottom of the feeder. They last about 8-10 hours and keep some fluid defrosted! Happy hummers still feeding! #yyjsnow pic.twitter.com/B3ZurCKpZy

I wanted to get a picture of the most persistent rose in Victoria today in the snow on my run.
I've admired this rose for about a week on my route and I had to get a shot today before it has enough of this weather!
