The #januarty prompt for today is #wet. I had a lot of options but decided on this one for the peace of it. It's also a winter stream and I wanted to stay within the season. #eastcoastkin
Photo of a stream up close. The water is agitated at the top of the photos with a hard line of separation into calm water by a small fall that is hidden from the camera. Under the calm water, you can see golden leaves from autumn and reflections of the surrounding plants and trees.

Good day to all. Today we have a Cooper's Hawk who likes to keep an eye on my bird feeders in case a Bluejay or Mourning Dove start slacking. Love the squirrel chilling quietly in the background there. #nikon #wildlife #eastcoastkin 🪶
Phot of a cooper's hawk sitting on the top of a small picnic table, shot over the top of a white fence. The bird is looking to the left, standing proudly. Behind the bird, in the woods, there is a squirrel sitting silently on a log pretending it's not there. Photo of a Cooper's Hawk sitting in a bare Japanese Maple. It's yellow talons visible. This male has dark wings with a brown and white spotted breast. The orange eyes are piercing on either side of the fierce beak.

The #januarty prompt for today is #clothing. This photo is from a time my spouse and I went to The Night of 100 Elvises a few years back that was held in Baltimore. I believe she does a good 1970s Priscilla.

Good day! Here we have a Red Bellied Woodpecker taking some time to enjoy a meal. Why are they Red Bellied when their belly ain't all that red? Well, that's a story he'll have to tell ya, but it's largely a union thing and red headed woodpecker was already taken. #nikon #wildlife #eastcoastkin 🪶
Photo of a red bellied woodpecker up close on a peanut feeder with a peanut in its beak. The bird is clinging to the side of the peanut cage, its red head bright in the light with its black and white plumage apparent. Photo of a red bellied woodpecker on the side of a brown suet feeder picking a choice bite. There's a Cardinal in the background coming in for a landing on the feeder flat tray. Similar to the photo of a red bellied woodpecker on the peanut feeder, this photo is up close on a suet feeder. Full red color of the head is seen and the full body is clear.

#januarty prompt today is #blue. This took a minute because there's so many I would like to share on this prompt. I finally chose this photo of the moon. It has flaws, but was one of my first attempts to ever capture the moon photographically.

Today is a good day for some Bluejays. I hope in the midst of the misery being perpetuated by rich jerks around the globe, some burbs may be something pleasant in an otherwise unpleasant time. #nikon #wildlife #eastcoastkin 🪶
Bluejay with peanut in beak flaps its wings while standing on a caged peanut feeder. The bird is looking at the camera and appears quite excited to have its prize. up close photos of a bluejay sitting on the ground near a piece of wood. The photo is close enough to show the small feathers and their texture. Bluejay sits in a Japanese Maple tree that has lost all its leaves. The bird is looking sideways giving the camera a profile of its face. The breast is visible with its smoky fade

Based on the absolutely unhinged shit I see reliable people posting today, it's clear we are fukn exhausted.

If it's any help, I believe we have arrived to stage five of what Robert Paxton determined are the five stages of fascism.

I believe we will take our government back.
The five stages of fascism as researched by Robert Paxton 1. Intellectual exploration/disillusionment 2. Rooting/Political mobilization 3. Arrival in power/Right-wing Alliances 4. Exercise of power/consolidation 5. Radicalization/entropy

When a spindle feeder gets down the last bit, it often falls down to the ground and the squirrels race to claim it for themselves. Here you see two squirrels discussing the finer points of nut clusters while stuffing their little faces. #nikon #wildlife #eastcoastkin
Photo of two squirrels facing each other. One squirrel has its back to the camera looking at the other squirrel who is chomping on a ball of nuts. There's a small gray yard gnome nearby.

While not the most beautiful photo, I enjoyed the seeming zero gravity of the Cardinal in the lower right quadrant. #nikon #wildlife #eastcoastkin 🪶
Photo of a bird feeder set up including a vertical suet feeder, a peanut cage, and two flat feed trays. There are four birds apparent in the shot. A hairy woodpecker is on the suet feeder, a bright red cardinal is in the upper feed tray, a dark eyed junco is on the lower feed tray and a female cardinal is caught mid air next to the peanut cage.

As part of #januarty, today's prompt is #sticky. I felt this photo of Old Bay Peanut Brittle that my spouse made fit the bill nicely.
