As it is a day to celebrate landscapes and animals that fly, a brilliant New Mexico landscape with a great blue heron.

A coyote emerges from some bushes near the water. When it noticed people, it paused briefly to look before moving on.

A re-post of my photo with added alt text.

Day two of #ArtAdventCalendar that coincides with #coloraday theme of #bluetue.

I usually do subtle work on furniture, but sometimes a piece needs to be bold.

In my continued efforts to remedy photos that lacked alt text, a snowy owl. They often appear as if they just heard a great joke.

A pileated woodpecker in the midst of hunting for food during a cold winter day.

The red mustache stripe and crest that extends to the beak mark this as a male.

In the spirit of #ArtAdventCalendar, one of my recent paintings. Although I occasionally paint realistic styles, I prefer to play with colors and leave the realism to my photos.

Although this picture is from last year and lacked alt text, we just had our first snow of the year, so time to revisit this lovely doe in the snow (and add alt text).

Winter has arrived, and the snowy owl have returned. I hope to get more sightings of this majestic bird this season.

A nuthatch starts the day in a tree by a lake. The soft pink glow of dawn is beginning to fade as the sun rises in the sky.

Not the best snowy owl pictures, but it was still a thrill to see it in the middle of a lake.
