The picture is of a river with part of its far side bank. The river is covered by light fog. There are rays of sunlight filtering in through openings in trees along the far bank. The sunlight highlights portions of the fog creating shafts of light that illuminate and reflect from the river.

These crows guard our neighborhood. I took these photos while observing seven crows posting themselves in several places around the yard, all facing a hawk and cawing loudly: a common occurrence in our backyard.

Fungi in the Backyard

Fungi on a Log – Image 01
Roswell, Georgia, USA; SEP 2023

A few weeks ago, a section of our backyard was set aglow in the early morning sun. We have a small wood pile I made hoping it might become a bee hotel. The bees ignored it. It’s now a larder for chipmunks, a hunting ground for wrens, a perch for squirrels to eat dinner and other things. It’s great fun to watch. On this day in August, the logs sprouted multicolored species of fungi and the sun poked its rays through breaks in the trees to set the fungi glowing.

Here are a few small birds to enjoy.

Check out the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. It was a cold morning. It had itself puffed-up to insulate against the cold. Doing so included flashing his red crown. I’ve been trying for several years to get a picture with the crown showing; it’s a rare shot to get. Being all puffed-up, he looks like he escaped from the Angry Birds game.
