December 18

A calm snow last evening created a fluffy coating on the upper side of every tree branch in the woods, making them stand out as if highlighted.

In the morning daylight, little red made his way from his winter nest in the barn to our dooryard feeders, and I caught sight of him initially as he navigated the aerial highways of criss-crossing branches. As he sped along, seemingly unaffected by the powder of snow along his way, bits would become dislodged in his passing and fall gently as crystalline clouds to the ground below.


All this was backlit by the rising sun through the woods making the light refracted slightly within each falling powder so that small rainbows were created briefly within.
