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.
Just like clockwork an American Dipper shows up at the same spot in the same creek each year. It is always a pleasure to see the dipper bobbing up and down and foraging for food under rocks in the water. This year the water in the creek is a bit low so we have yet to see the dipper dive in and go for a swim. Amazing little birds and so fun to watch.

Blue skies, long shadows and the winter sun cement a feeling of time and place. There is more to the seasons than a change of weather.
Wishing you all a very happy holiday and may peace fill the air.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday, even if it’s not a holiday for you, wherever you are on this wonderful planet.

Away from the digital world today…
In spite of lacking heat the winter sun still warms the day.
Two trees one young one old both clothed in a layer of fresh white snow. Photographed while out on the trail for a xc ski.
With feathers just right to match her home in the fall cattails a little Marsh Wren peeks out from the edge of the pond.
It rained and it rained and it rained but this Gull just took it it in stride perched on a magnificent weathered log along the Northern California Coast.
Dawn light and wintery peaks captured with the old black Holga. Getting up early isn’t all that bad sometimes.
