Branch from tree in parking lot broke off during the recent and unexpected Snow Storm again in Montreal.
Since this photo was taken, snow has gone, reappeared for a day or two but NOW we are into Spring Sunshine and no more snow.
This is a macro of Acacia Tree flower bud. Thank you for stopping by and your kind comments. Breathe, smile and have a fabulous day.
Columbia River Gorge, OR
The Columbia River Gorge is known nationally for its natural beauty, its unique ecosystem, the waterfalls and the mighty river Columbia. But its most well-kept secret ought to be the Autumn vistas and the breathtaking Fall foliage. Being situated just across the river from the ‘evergreen’ state perhaps adds to keeping this national secret alive. Here is proof that the Northwest does have some of the best Fall colors in the nation. As if making it to the top ten lists of the ‘best places’ for Fall colors somehow authenticates the fact that this is a spot to be during the Autumn, Columbia River Gorge certainly made it to several of these lists this year. What makes it more unique is that the tree trunks with ‘made in Oregon’ moss give a fantastic green contrast to the blazing yellows. This is my last picture from the Fall photos that I took this year. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

I spent some time following him around as he was busy catching flies. He finally sat still long enough for me to get a half way decent shot as he perched on a branch. Then he took off again.

I have seen the juvenile kites flying in the air with adult kites so I assume they are learning how to catch food. I did not see what happened in this instance. Hopefully Junior caught it himself.

“Adapting to the new norm” - 2020
2020 has been the year that has caught us all by surprise. Before March, most of us were moving about our lives as we normally might – like busy bodies trying to get from one place to the next just trying to “make it” through the day. That was me. I was working five jobs and was just trying to “survive” another week. My memory was failing me from being so busy, I knew I had to stop but I didn’t know how until life forced me to.
The pandemic forced me to slow down. It came at me like a branch flies through a windshield – it knocked me hard off my feet and onto the ground. It felt like slamming your breaks on the highway when you’ve been speeding at 90mph – luckily no one was hurt but it was scary. THAT is the feeling March of 2020 gave me.
Then I felt ease. It felt good to focus on less. I started to realize that this branch that had completely lodged itself in my life was now a part of me and one that I could joyfully live with because it was teaching me how to slow down.
I have always believed that humans are incredibly adaptable and I see it in this new norm. That does not mean that you have to be accepting of injustices. It does mean that even though it felt like our world slammed its breaks and ejected us out of the car, we have managed to stand up and adapt to our new life – bruises, broken bones and all.
We are resilient and we are strong.
How have you adapted to your new norm?

These warblers are all over the place in the winter but this one was being quiet & still. Not sure what made me look up but there it was right above my head.

Merlin flinching as a crow dive bombs it.
Same Merlin in the same area of Sinnissippi I saw yesterday but today it was actually feeding on a House Sparrow. In Rockford, Illinois during the winter 2020/2021.
I was just trying to get shots when the bird was in a dark shady spot. So didn't notice how nicely it blended in with the lichen on the tree bark until later.

Junior & Brother in the tree down the street. Waiting for a food delivery. Junior is on my right, he always looks a bit goofy. His chest markings are thinner and lighter. Brother is on the left. His markings are darker and thicker.

Our ficus is fighting back from a deep freeze last winter. Kowa Super 66 with Fujifilm Velvia medium format film.
The cedar waxwing perches on a tree branch, its dark mask-like marking around its eyes giving it a distinctive look. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the bird's vibrant colors and details!!
I finally saw Brother calling for food delivery.
