Showing Off
<a
A male Hooded Merganser showing off the ladies.
Unfortunetly, the lady of his desires seemed to be showing little interest in his display.

Crepuscular Friend
Munching the plants and keeping us company as the winter sun begins to rise…our Crepuscular Friend.
American Widegon
A female American Widegon enjoys the last of the late fall weather. In an area usually teaming with water fowl she was one of the only ducks left on the lake just hanging out quietly in a sheltered cove.
Taken last September at Lake John in Walden, CO.
As dawn became sunset
On a day where the thermometer struggled to get above zero dawn seemed to melt into sunset as the sun slowly slipped away.

Everyday Blessings
Most of the time we find Spotted Towhees in the underbrush kicking about foraging for a meal and that is just where I found this heard this guy as well. The problems is that when they are kicking about in the undergrowth they are easily heard but seldom seen. Luckily this guy flew up into the branches of a shrub with just enough of an opening to snap a quick photo and get a good look of that brilliantly colored red eye.
A nice way to start the new year indeed.
May your 2018 be filled with wonder, joy and everyday blessings.
Out walking
Put on the jacket and head outside. Nothing like a little walk in the rain to keep the weekend rolling.
Blue, Green and Yellow
Mallard. There are many but none are common.
Forest Light: Winter
Winter light shining brightly onto the remains of a once mighty redwood. I am fascinated by the light that is able to creep into the forest and how it changes with the seasons. This light in the dark always seems so difficult to capture and the photos never seem to evoke the feeling of being there. Perhaps some things are better left alone or maybe a fool that persists in his folly will someday take that magic photo.
Small Fry
Talk about small…we spent some time watching these little Bush Tits feeding and it seemed like the whole time they were either moving or hiding behind leaves of this shrub. Each time one would hop into view they would be gone before I could fire the shutter. Finally this guy came out and sat still for a few seconds in the open and I was able to get a photograph. I am glad I did because the photo allowed me to really see what I was seeing in those trees. Mackerricher state park, CA.
