Happy Solstice to you all!
I keep seeing spring coming. that's how I keep winter bearable. I see it as a frozen incubator.
That woodpecker is as pretty as a big flower on that stalk!
Some day, I'd like to learn to photograph things. As I said, I hike year-round, and I like to document the changes. It helps tonight, as it is raining and unseasonably warm (44 degrees) that spring will come again. All of it to cycle through. But scrolling through the year makes me realize how fast it all goes.
I feel so lucky to live in such a gorg(es)eous part of the world.

I feel so blessed to have the OS community to come home to on nights like tonight.

Really, though, F.L.W., you should invest in a decent camera so you can blow some of these up. You have a great eye for subject material but you're holding yourself back. Get a good Nikon single lens reflex digital camera.
Thanks for the reminder!!!
Not the raw air and coldness, just the snow....I grew up in N.J. and to us Jersey boys New York State is God's Country!!!! Here in the Sunshine St. we're looking at 79 degrees as a Christmas day high. I miss the change of seasons as well and thank you so much for taking me there. The pictures were absolutely beautiful, R

It's one of the drawbacks of living in a place so beautiful. Sometimes, Mother Nature isn't so nice.
