January is here and it is cold outside. Time to slip on that extra hoody and head out to the local pond to watch the male Hooded Mergansers strutting their stuff trying to impress the females.
Contemplative
A Dark Eyed Junco looking a bit contemplative and taking some time away form the flock enjoys a moment on a snowy spruce bough.
What can’t be said
Bound by words and images there are thing we wish to say we know we never can. A common sight just snow on a log but somethings say much more.
Color swatch
A little early January pick me up of color. Cloud, earth and sky combined to deliver a spectacular sunset in a place far from home and long ago yet the memories of the experience remains strong.
On a winters day
Simple sights and lack of sounds made for a perfect winters day. Seeking solitude is a gift that always gives more than it takes.
Without time
Time sometimes seems to stop flowing on cold grey winters days. Is it morning, afternoon or early evening. On days like this being out in nature listening to the flow of the stream brings pulls time back and adds a perspective that brings order to the day.
Dark Eyed Junco
The Dark Eyed Junco always brings a bit of color and life to our winter trees. Thanks Juncos!
Canvasback
The other day we spotted a few Canvasbacks in the local pond. This guy just awoke from a nap on the edge of the ice. We don’t see many Canvasbacks around our area in the winter so watching a few napping and others diving into the pond for a meal was quite a treat.
White tailed buck
Alone on a winters day this White-tailed buck quickly scanned his surrounding and moved along on his way. Nice to make is company if only for a short time.
Sun behind snow
Yes it’s snowing lightly and yes it’s cold outside yet the sight of the sun behind the snow is a sight that say everything is right with the world today. It’s all here and it’s all in order.
