This red and green necklace is one I made and have been wearing this season. To enhance the festive spirit, I’ve hanged it from a holly branch.

I was planning to shoot some nice photos of sunset by the sea, but when I finally found the sea in this huge fog, there were no sun, no city panorama ... only ghostly fog and a few people
You are so dandy, you're sweet as candy....🍥
I experimented with different lighting, sunlight, lamplight, I also experimented with the aperture setting. I found F5 worked very well in this ight. I was able to zero in on the green candy
I was finally able to get a shot of this beautiful bird! Here is some information about about them...
The heron you’re most likely to see in North America is the tall Great Blue Heron. But this stately bird has a much smaller and more secretive relative — the Green Heron.
This chunky, short-legged heron is about a foot and a half long, maybe about a third of the size of its larger cousin. And it’s a deep forest-green color, with a chestnut-colored neck.
The Green Heron forages for fish and small amphibians on the banks of small bodies of fresh water, using its plumage to camouflage itself amid the trees and shrubs. It perches, body horizontal and stretched forward over the water, still as a statue, waiting for small fish to come close.
Now, here’s the really cool part. This heron sometimes uses “bait” to lure its prey. It will break twigs into pieces small enough to make convincing lures and then cleverly drop them onto the water’s surface. Sometimes, instead of a stick, the heron will use a feather or even a live insect. Then the bird hunkers down and waits for an unsuspecting fish to swim close.
The Great Blue Heron may be easier to see, but be sure to keep an eye out for the small — and clever — Green Heron.
A few days ago I found a Green Heron hunting at the edge of the Marina in Morro Bay - a happy surprise for me.

This guy/gal sat perched 20 ft high basking in the last 10 minutes or so of daylight left. Seemed curious what this photog was doing slowly scrambling for "just the right angle" :).
Green Herons stand motionless at the water’s edge as they hunt for fish and amphibians. They typically stand on vegetation or solid ground, and they don’t wade as often as larger herons. In flight these compact herons can look ungainly, often partially uncrooking their necks to give a front-heavy appearance.
