Treecreeper - Certhia familiaris
The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) is a small passerine bird also known in the British Isles, where it is the only living member of its genus, simply as treecreeper. It is similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks. It can be most easily distinguished from the similar short-toed treecreeper, which shares much of its European range, by its different song.
The Eurasian treecreeper has nine or more subspecies which breed in different parts of its range in temperate Eurasia. This species is found in woodlands of all kinds, but where it overlaps with the short-toed treecreeper in western Europe it is more likely to be found in coniferous forests or at higher altitudes. It nests in tree crevices or behind bark flakes, and favours introduced giant sequoia as nest sites where they are available. The female typically lays five or six pink-speckled white eggs in the lined nest, but eggs and chicks are vulnerable to attack by woodpeckers and mammals, including squirrels.
The Eurasian treecreeper is insectivorous and climbs up tree trunks like a mouse, to search for insects which it picks from crevices in the bark with its fine curved bill. It then flies to the base of another tree with a distinctive erratic flight. This bird is solitary in winter, but may form communal roosts in cold weather.
Thanks to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc, it is always appreciated.
In the lazy water meadow I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room

A thick layer of snow had remained on my skylight window. Now at a sunny day with clear blue sky, it began to melt. HMM

My first attempt at snow flakes can't wait to practice more.
Now I just need it to snow again.
Seems i have caught a religous flake with that last prayer but hey, tis the season! So, like snow off a horse's back. I shook it off : )) The critters and i are just hangin' out and playing in the snow. Have a great weekend everyone!
Fredvang is located on the island of Moskenesøya in the Lofoten archipelago. The village is fairly isolated with the Fredvang Bridges being the only road connection to the village from the rest of Norway.
Badly flaking paint on an external wall. So much paint has flaked off that the remaining flakes look like brown butterflies about to lift off from the surface.

Everybody whom I gave FAV and comment is I'm so sorry!
※前回のSSがいまいち納得できず撮影しなおしました。
star flakesを見た時に感じた「楽しくて軽やか」を表現したかった。
FAVやコメントをくださった皆さん申し訳ありません。

Big wet flakes were falling this morning, but by late afternoon it was gone. Now it's all rain (again).

Good luck to everyone in the southern US getting hit with snow and ice. When you don't have the warm clothes or snow clearing equipment or snow tires, snow does not always hold such beauty for you. we are having another snow day here in Halifax..third one on a Wednesday (which is my day off anyway...darn )
