The best of the best — my favorite shots!

Lunar Corona

The high clouds were moving in, and the moon had a wonderful, colorful ring around it. I took quite a few shots of it, but this one best showed what it looked like to my eyes. The colors were obvious in the sky, and made for a beautiful ending to a great Thanksgiving day.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow

These birds were all over the finch feeder, too, and were chasing everyone else away! They seemed to have no regard for up or down, and were just as happy to hang upside down to eat their meal. From what I’ve read in my bird book, these are only found around St. Louis, introduced for reasons unknown. Of course, that’s assuming I’ve identified it correctly! 🙂

Fire in the Snow

With the snowfall today, a few fall trees have been caught with the colors still up. As I passed by a manmade pond in a subdivision along my route home, I was struck by the beauty of these lone red figures, contrasted against the snowy landscape and dark waters.
