Picture of the year

Happy New Year!

This month's theme is "picture of the year."

I don't know if it's my best picture of 2022, but I really like the blue sky and blue bird together.  (also, I finally got the bird in sharp focus for once!)

 

Peace

Wishing you all a peaceful new year.

 

Mossy log

Moss is thriving on every forest surface.

 

Ominous

Looming clouds.

 

What is this?

Mr. Heron didn't seem to know what to do with his frozen fishing spot.

 

Frozen

The cold front that swept the country during Christmas got to Raleigh as well.  Most of Shelly Lake froze.  The sea gulls had to stand on the ice.  

 

Alien?

You can almost believe in alien spacecraft looking up at this sky.
