The kingfishers were great.

I saw a Karenesque picture yesterday of a barn owl, head on, with wings touched back in missile mode.

Also, my old guy is feeding quail to give the little folks a helping hand and yesterday had about 60 picking around for chicken scratch he left under his truck where there is no snow.

Happy Thanksgiving, Karen.

I waggle the screen of my laptop to see your pictures in different light and the November 23rd pic would make a wonderful Halloween cards! It has a headless horsemen in there somewhere! Speaking of things in your pictures, I am pretty sure there is a little white mouse in your swirling golden leaves pic. :-) The King Fishers! Oh my! Just wonderful how you have captured their spunkiness!

I love this so much Sandy! I'm looking for the little white mouse!

I may have thrown you a curve with my little white mouse by referring to swirling leaves. I see it is actually swirling drops of water in your wonderful Art pic. And perhaps the mouse has a buddy or two! :-)

Wonderful photos as always.. my favorite where the Kingfisher fighter jet….amazing….and the wind, water, light golden photo ❤️😍🥰👍. And that song lyric is so meant for you❤️👍🎤🎼🎵🎶. We had our first mid thirties temperature this morning 🥶 but we get a reprieve with a south wind this afternoon and predicted upper 70’s tomorrow☀️☀️ before the next cold front comes thru….thanksgiving will be chilly💨🥶

Thank you Aunt Sharon! Yeah, we have another cold front coming through and I'm seeing morning temps in the teens! It feels really "sudden" because it's been so warm. It is bringing the ducks though! They will scare them all off tonight with the fireworks but hopefully after that it will be duck time.

Love the "fighter jet" shot of the kingfisher! Really shows off how aerodynamic they are!

The fog shots are particularly spectacular!

Thank you Oriah! Fog can be so magical.

That's true -but it takes someone's eye (yours!) to see it and skill to record it, magic intact. :)

I can SO identify with killdeer meeting gull in "traffic!" Those big honkin' SUV birds can be quite intimidating! :-) And thanks for the shout-out: "Uhuhuhuh, stayin' alive, stayin' alive!" ;-) Have a great day and stay warm!
