1/13/14 Birds At Dusk~

Ali's pic: Spectacularly crested woodpecker visible at dusk. I like to think he was doing a little happy dance.
Marci's Pic: We have had a family of Robin that refuse to acknowledge it is winter. This is one of the little fatties 

1/10/14 prints in the Sand/Snow~

Ali's Pic: Trails made by mussels working their way back to the ocean. What makes them do loopedy loos like that? Beautiful and fascinating. Playa Hermosa, Mal Pais
Marci's Pic: Early morning, fresh blanket of snow and the Robin refuse to leave this winter wonderland. Finding refuge under our deck, I found their trail exploring the sandbox and beyond~

1/8/14 In Flight~

Ali's Pic: This little guy is a Nuthatch. He obliged me by flying a little so he could mimic the balloons taking off. I was totally surprised by the color of the inside of his wings. A friend described the Nuthatch as a bird that didn't have much to say but likes to say it a lot.:)
Marci's Pic: On our frosty morning commute to the kids school we had a gorgeous sunrise topped off by low flying hot air balloon's making their daily trek down our valley. I was really hoping to stump Ali with this one ;), but alas, she found an excellent accompaniment to it with ease!
