When the conditions are right we get some spectacular winter sunsets in northeast Ohio. Tonight was one of those times. Just an amazing sky, looking like it was on fire, and a dusting of newly fallen snow. #nature #sunset #ohio #cleveland

Hibiscus and sparrow. For some reason the hibiscus just keep blooming, it's really nice.🪶
In the foreground a large hibiscus flower, it is pink and white with a deep magenta center. Behind the flower is the hibiscus plant, and behind that is a small sparrow perched on top of a fence post. The sparrow is slightly out of focus. In the foreground a large hibiscus flower, it is pink and white with a deep magenta center.

A great blue heron on a breakwall in Lake Erie this morning. 🪶
A great blue heron standing on large rocks laid out to make a breakwall near the shore in Lake Erie. Behind the bird the water is light blue or gray, in front the rocks are gray/brown, and the water looks darker, nearly black because it's reflecting the rocks above.

A mourning dove sat high in some bare branches against a gray sky. 🪶
A mourning dove, appearing mostly as a silhouette. The dove is on a bare branch which is sticking up above branches with leaves. The sky behind is an overcast grey and with the distance from which the picture was taken creates the lack of detail.

This anhinga is "playing" with leaves and other stuff that it picks up. Is this how they practice catching and eating fish? 🪶
