Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock
The sun was rushing off to bed
Where pillowed clouds received it
As it sank to rest.
Five seagulls following the light
Pursued the fading glory in the west,
White arrows in the darkening sky
Following the sun.
Separate and solitary
A single bird made haste
In purposeful pursuit
Fleeing the darkness.
He soared and swooped from side to side,
Powerful, carefree flight
Until six birds vanished
In the Winter sunset.

It's winter, but without snow, just a few degrees below zero. Enough to get a bit of frost. Temporally ice art, as soon as the sun touches it, it's gone.........
Walking among snow-covered trees was magical. I was out in the forests a couple of times before all the snow melted and took a lot of photos.

A MUST VIEWED LARGE!!
I am starting to change direction a little bit with images like this toning them with subtle colours, and I thought I would start with this one which I just love I hope you all do!
A fairly mild winter has encouraged Goldfinches to stay in our area. Their coloration is not as brilliant as it would be in summer months. This male American Goldfinch will be bright yellow, with black and white wings, and black face markings in the summer.

Below, please see the photo of the plant I used for this image. Should have been well on its way to the compost pile by now. :)
