Thank you for making my morning even better.
Love the Wren with the cactus that was topped off. Love the tiny arm growing.
cheers, parsnip
Hi Diane! Hope you've had a wonderful start to the New Year. Lots of good critters, including the birds, hanging out around the creek right now! Including a Golden-crowned Kinglet at Stop 2. Pretty awesome!
I like all Diane. But more collages;)
I'm enjoying my day more by soaking in the warmth of your desert photos! It's snowing hard here. Should I send you some?
Oh my! You are catching up with beauties!
I love the whole post.
Breathtakingly beautiful pictures.You live in a truly enchanting part of the world.
Beautiful birds, and of the views of both the December and January. Regards.
Love the Cedar Waxwing, another bird I never see. How high up is that hawk nest? I saw a huge nest that looks similar to that at one of the parks I frequent but it was really only about 7 feet off the ground and close to a sidewalk and I didn't think a hawk would have a nest so low.
Hi Maccandace, the hawk nest was about 25 feet high.
Hello Diane, greetings.
Lovely photos.
Best wishes
Such amazing photos! This landscape is so fascinating!
You've captured such a beautiful place. The desert has always been interesting to me, especially since I've never been to any myself.
Beautiful female Phainopepla photo, I love how she blends so perfectly with the tree limb.
Have a great weekend :)
Such a diversity of plants and creatures! There are so many that I have never seen.
the light is very special
Seeing those sceneries will surely make one appreciate the beauty of nature more!
How very beautiful! You have certainly started my day off with a smile. Thank you :)
Οι εικόνες σας πάντα ξεχωρίζουν.
Loved the two collages.
Oh my goodness, I just realised it is a Cedar Waxwing, not a Phainopepla! Clearly I need new glasses :) Lovely photo anyway!
Celeste, The female phainopepla and cedar waxwing do look alike!
These are so gorgeous photos !
