Out this morning doing birdy things at -20C windchill. Mad, yes perhaps but we enjoy it. This tree is on the entrance road to the Arboretum and I have photographed it several times over the years but this is the best, I think. Nothing wrong with my older cameras, nothing at all, but this new one finds colours and details the others can’t really manage. Great 3-D effect too.
I was amused by this Cardinal, looking longingly at the seed(s) that the squirrel was eating … a bit of fraternal competition there.
Just past their best if you like eating ‘fiddleheads’
This is a full colour photograph – it’s just that the colour present really was minimal. :)
Enjoy the tiny sun-sparkles in the snow. It was very cold, very.

Earlier in the day (about -12C) it had been snowing but as the snow tailed off this sky appeared from the north-west.
We’d been watching and enjoying a large mixed flock of House Finches and Common Redpolls this morning – wandering along and turning a corner we found the pond.
On a very cold day
The pond just here is the nesting ground of Wood Duck and other birds in summer – but for now it’s resting
