I went to a local birding hotspot to see the current celebrity among local birders, a Virginia Rail. They don't usually hang around here for winter, so it was wonderful to see and photograph it 😊. I also took a couple photos of the usual suspects.

I wasn't feeling too inspired this week by #52frames_nature, but I managed to take a few ICM shots during an early snow and a phone shot of one of my favourite trees while out skiing this morning

I don't really have many "toys" for #52frames_showusyourtoys, but took a couple of shots: a collection of my winter activity gear and a flat lay of some of our favourite board games' pieces
