Check out that snood! If you were a turkey hen, you'd be impressed.

I hate OneDrive.

I had it turned off because I don't want it. It suddenly turned itself on (maybe due to an update?) and proceeded to start uploading all my files.

It also combined files from two different laptops that I don't want combined. Now all my files are a mess.🤬

I complain about fall and winter a lot, but there are some things I like about the dark, cold months - like the dark eyed juncos that show up.

Here's my favorite junco photo from last year.

Kingfishers are known for flying away as soon as you try to take a photo, but this female belted kingfisher stayed put.

When she moved her wing, it looked like she was beckoning me to sit beside her.

Autumn and winter are... fine. They're fine.

But I prefer spring, with blooming flowers, ample sunshine, and lots of cute goslings.

A wild turkey on full display among the autumn leaf litter. There were no hens around, but he was still strutting his stuff and posing for me.

It's another gloomy day here, but here's a gosling photo from spring that I don't think I've shared yet.

Rock wrens aren't flashy birds, but I've found them to be extremely photogenic.

Here's one I my favorite captures. (I have a 30" metal print of this one hanging in my living room.)

The great horned owls in my area (north central Idaho) frequently nest in rocky areas instead of trees. Here's one of my favorite captures from a couple of summers ago.

I'm curious... which do you prefer?

I personally love the close-up detail of the portrait on the left, but I also like how to photo on the right shows the environment and action of the bobcat walking and licking its lips.
