Nacreous sky
It may not fit
Disappointed flicker
The male flicker
Crow's lunch
Next-door cat watching birds
Ganster for God
Snowbird
The night before last
Not many warblers left in town
Trying in his way to be free
J & J have a tidy yard

Amaryllis opening
The sword
Bloom opening and Christmas lights
Blue tarp
Kitchen begonia
Jupiter through the trees
Cold morning
Chickadee
I was looking for the living among the dead
Moon in the NE sky yesterday afternoon

Songbirds
Plant with family history
Mr. Purp
Purps at the Holly
First quarter, hiding or nearly
Not a bunch of flowers
Only about six years old
Always the same, always new
Coming down the Tor
Gulls on new ice
Guerrilla decoration
Crow in the snow
Times change
Some bug drowned
A mere shadow of myself
Failure redeemed
A new wahbluh for us
Mr Wilson's warbler visits
I haven't tired of watching crows yet.
If all you saw were female or younger birds so-cal…

Some mosses this afternoon


It's a long time since I studied biology -- more than half a century. And I understand the mosses and liverworts, taught to me as plants, are "plants" no longer. Like poor Pluto not being a planet anymore. Well, I still see them as plants.
We've had a couple of weeks of mostly sub-freezing weather, but the mosses seem to hold up well in almost any weather. This was this afternoon while ice was not melting, but running brooks were still oozing down through the lucky mosses.

EDIT, next morning: I have been corrected by a short look through the Internet's many bryophyte discussions. Mosses are indeed still “plants.” They are seedless and non-vascular, but plants nonetheless.
