I find these busy tiny brown/grey little birds absolutely adorable, especially the females ( as pictured) with their light yellow eyes on either side of their tiny dark beak. To me their expression appears so intensely serious and I always find myself giggling under my breath while enjoying taking pics and observing them in their busy flocks.
The tiny gray/brown acrobatic Bushtit is easily sexed with the females sporting yellow eyes and the males dark eyes. Bushtits fly in small to larger flocks. They reside from the extreme south western British Columbia, southern Idaho, south western Wyoming, and Colorado southward. Bushtits are also found along the Pacific coast states and south into inland Mexico. Bushtits preferred habitats incude coastal forests among second-growth alder thickets and edges of coniferous forests composed of Male, birch and dogwood.

Whitiker Street here in Savannah is full of houses with whimsical architectural styles. I call this early Spanish Riverboat style. You can see Darren McGavin on the bridge. I am sure the owners were thinking more like the White House.
Intense, enthusiastic, passionate, interested, eager. And chiefly an immeasurable friend.

My second pass at this object. Captured a few more hours of data to add to the first set. I used very short exposures with the rgb camera to avoid the bright star nearby (Gamma Cassiopeiae) from over saturating the surrounding area.
"Cassiopeia's Ghost Nebula is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is often referred to as "Cassiopeia’s Ghost" due to its wispy, ghostly appearance. Here is an overview of its key characteristics:
Location and Distance: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula lies approximately 550 light-years away from Earth. It is located near the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae, a variable star that plays a critical role in illuminating the nebula.
Appearance and Structure: The nebula appears as a faint, ghostly cloud, with delicate, wispy features that resemble spectral forms. It has a combination of emission and reflection characteristics:
Emission Features: The red hue of the nebula comes from the ionization of hydrogen gas caused by the ultraviolet radiation from Gamma Cassiopeiae.
Reflection Features: The blue tones in the nebula are the result of starlight from Gamma Cassiopeiae being reflected off the surrounding dust particles.
Illuminating Star: Gamma Cassiopeiae, a massive and highly energetic Be-type star, is the primary source of radiation that influences the nebula. The intense radiation from this star causes the hydrogen gas in the nebula to glow and the dust to scatter the light.
Visibility and Observing: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula is relatively faint and best observed through long-exposure astrophotography. It can be challenging to see with small telescopes but becomes more apparent with the use of filters and under dark sky conditions.
Scientific Interest: The nebula is of significant interest to astronomers studying the effects of stellar radiation on interstellar matter. It serves as an example of how nearby massive stars can shape and alter the appearance of nebulae."

A strong inversion set in overnight, and this morning in the chilly -25°F air, (-32°C) a phenomenon known as superior mirage made the road appear to take a sharp upturn on the horizon, where the road is perfectly flat.
In a superior mirage, cold dense air is trapped against the ground by a layer of warm air.
Passing through the temperature inversion, the light rays are bent down, and so the ground appears above the true ground, hence the name superior.
Superior mirages are in general less common than inferior mirages, but, when they do occur, they tend to be more stable, as cold air has no tendency to move up and warm air has no tendency to move down.
As soon as the spring sun shines in this shadowy area and warms the cold lower level, the mirage will disappear.
In attesa che smetta di piovere, una golosità da condividere con tutti gli amici di Flickr :-D

Lichen enriched granite rocks line the Tasmanian east coast. This stunning stretch is referred to as the "Bay of Fires". What more could one ask for.... a red sunset to match the RED rocks!!

Apparently a calm location that became very interesting in the space of a few minutes during sunset.
