#ForestFriday at last...I'd like to walk into these trees until 2026.

A stand of young trees, slender trunks like poles. The bark is light with dark shadows and there are very few leaves, the grass is brown and the sky is grey.

Junior's first migration.
#SandhillCrane migration 2025.
#birds
I can't imagine how exciting it is for a young Sandhill Crane to experience their first migration. Here, one of many young Sandhills is in flight during migration. The young colts stay close to their parents during migration and always seem to show an exuberant enthusiasm for flight.

Sand dunes and blue sky
#blueskymonday #clouds #sanddunes #beach #photography #eastcoastkin
Old sand dunes with pine trees and underbrush sit under blue skies with pillowy and wispy clouds near the horizon.

The wind tidied things up nicely around the pond 📷 🍂…
Around the tree reflected pond the leaves were draped around the perimeter as if by design.

whisper moon whispering
over the band of still marsh and mirrored just-wintering trees held in a blanket of waking cloud, the full moon hovers high in the pale blue and is itself again lingering whispering behind wisped tendrils below

We keep explaining to Eli that pigs can't hibernate the winter away but every day he tries to bury himself in hay and do it anyway. 🤷‍♀️

This Three-toed Sloth was taking care of its morning ablutions on the Osa Peninsula this morning.

A sloth hangs upside down from a tree trunk, gripping the branches with its long curved claws, surrounded by large green tropical leaves.

Close up photo of a pale green lichen with brown apothecia. The lichen looks like a musical instrument from a Dr. Seuss book.

still out here today
Annual Fleabane, very small blooms that resemble tiny daisies, yellow centers with white petals and green foliage. A bit worse from the weather, but hanging in there at the end of November ☯️
