    This moment, the world, is stark black and white, frozen.

    Nice, Pete. I liked how the B&W emphasized the the acute angles in the starling.

    Cold here this morning about 38. Fortunately will warm up to 68.

    Michael, don’t tease me with your warm weather.

    We’ll be lucky to get above 50.

    Thought of you yesterday. Don and I were working on a large pile of leaves in my backyard.

    We have bought a shredder to turn all our lovely leaves into gold compost. The electric shredder is running (and making a fair bit of noise) and two little brave nuthatches flitted about the yard playing and stopping to steal seeds off the feeder.

    They seemed to really be enjoying the fall day.

    The nuthatches and chickadees are fast and brave here, Anne, competing with the sparrows for seeds.

    Tremendously hard to photograph in flight with their speed.
