We were hearing this tiny one singing its wonderful serenade while riding up the Dark Side chair. Photo taken two weeks ago out back of our home. Winter Wren.

Here is my dog Poma, sitting under an owl on the arched tree last fall on a morning walk…was the closest I’ve been able to get to an owl, he was just checking us out.

I am shooting with a Canon 5D Mark IV 30.4 MP Full Frame DSLR body, RF600mm F4 L IS USM lens and usually 1.4 teleconverter which gives me a 840mm focal length. I shoot autofocus in Manual mode with auto ISO. Settings for the Winter Wren were 1/8000 sec.at f5.6 ,ISO12800. I edit using Adobe Lightroom, and have started running it through Topaz DeNoise first. Editing just cleans things up , pulls out some shadows hides some highlights. A blurry photo cant be unblurrred. Hope thats not to much.

No actual pics but just missed an otter on my ski yesterday evening. He/She was obviously having fun in the new snow also.

That’s might be why they call them otter slides.
They don’t need any skis, poles, boots or clothes either.

Green-winged Teal made their annual visit out back pretty much on schedule.
