snow completely buries a yard, nearly reaching the bowl of a birdbath in the background. the bowl is filled with dried twigs and a small stonebird statue. In the background can be seen a house porch, also just above the level of the snow.

The Hawaiian Hawk. I don’t see these in my yard often, but I got lucky yesterday. This beautiful hawk is only found on the Big Island of Hawaii.

These trees #form a magical tunnel of wonder through a local park. #Februarty #Trees #ThickTrunkTuesday #PNW #NatureIsArt #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

Tall stands of Douglas fir trees in bright green grass on either side of a brown, bark nature trail with dappled sunlight falling through the boughs creates a sort of magical nature tunnel.

The image shows a large bird about the size of a regular dog. It has a brown feathered back and a white underside it’s feet and head are black with a white mark on its cheek. It’s strutting along on a frozen lake. In the distance snow and a forest can be seen.

Shot with the Canon R10 and Canon RF 100-400mm f5.6-8 IS USM Lens. Canada Goose.

I shot lots of Galapagos sea lion photos earlier this month, so you can expect them to pop up on my posts from time to time. Still, I wish I’d shot more. I mean, is it possible to create too many images of these cuties—especially the young ones?
