Chilly, but beautiful. Good hike today, quiets my brain. Deep breaths.

Cold January day hike up hill. Vivid blue sky. Graceful, gnarled tree in foreground with sun shining thru, oak woodland habitat.

Happy Tuesday, friends! It's that time again, please join me while I zone out watching the waters of Lake Crescent creep over the shoreline rocks 🧘‍♀️

BACK TO BIRDING!
I’ve forgotten how frustrating and rewarding birding can be since I’ve been exclusively shooting insects in flight for the past year and a bit but literally back at the car on the way out I found this little beauty 🤩.

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.”
― John Muir
A single tree grows on a trunk near the water in the wetlands. There is water all the way to the mountains in the background.

Small gray and brown bird perched on a snowy branch, shown in close-up with a striped head, yellow facial markings, and a soft pale background. There's a perfect snowflake on the top of its head.

My last #WinterRobin and I won’t post another till the season rolls round again. Taken yesterday. Have a wonderful day wherever you are in the world. 🌍 Please excuse the romanticised Irish alt 😁 #birds #Stunday #photography #EastCoastKin
A small European robin pauses on a bed of emerald moss, its flame-bright breast glowing like a hearth ember in the hush of an Irish wood. Pale winter light softens the greens and browns around it, while scattered nuts lie like humble offerings on the forest floor. Still and watchful, the robin stands as a quiet keeper of the land, carrying the gentle soul of Ireland in its gaze.

A family affair! Acorn Woodpeckers are among the most social of all woodpecker species, living in cooperative groups that can include up to 15 individuals.

On the bottom half, in the foreground of the photo there is a reflection of trees and a sunlit sky in the melting snow on the black iron deck railing. Above, in the background you see the branches of a cherry tree with snow on them.
