Morning moon setting in the west on February 12.
Later that day there was snow. I went out with the camera and a cup of tea and found this handsome guy waiting on the neighbor's back porch.
Maybe there'll be more snow this evening.
Patience.
January wonder

Just when it seemed too cold for anything but cozy indoor projects, an outdoor wonder appeared.
When the ground is frozen and the world is ice cold, I toss seeds and crumbs to the birds. Today this fine feathered beauty was waiting and watching the festival of sparrows and pigeons from the power lines
Those feathers!
I think this is a red-tailed hawk.
What surprised me the most was that the birds on the ground didn't seem to mind him at all. Also that he simply watched them for nearly an hour.
