On a gloomy day, a Dark-eyed Junco surveyed the scene below before dropping to the ground to glean bits of seed from below the bird feeder.
Surveyed.

Tunnelled.
A mouse, or mice, tunnelled through the snow during the days before I took this photo. Snow was compacting and melting by this time, revealing their work.
Red sky at morning . . .
. . . sailor take warning.
The old saying certainly held true for non-sailors in southwest Ontario this week. After this lovely and marvellous Monday morning sunrise, the rest of the week was cloudy, rainy, chilly, with snow and ice melting and rivers rising.
Welcome to my first post of the new year. Let me know what you think!
Regularly trods.
The low angle of morning sunlight at this time of year eases picking out details.
Some critter – am inclined to think either a fox or a raccoon – regularly trods this path. It winds into the middle background and near the top of the photo, veers left into brush.
It is, likely will remain, a mystery. And that is fine.
Earlier.
Another view of the sunrise shown on the previous post. This one taken a few minutes earlier.
Glory.
The glory of a sunrise announces the beginning of another day. I am very glad to have broken my routine to witness it, and to share it with you.
Paid a visit.
Several animals visit my workplace – raccoon, semi-feral cat, fox. Something likely much larger than any of these paid a visit the other night. The paw print may be a little difficult to discern; it is right in the middle of the image. Perhaps, probably, a coyote or a big dog. For scale, the coin, a Canadian toonie, is about 25mm (1″) in diameter.
Still lovely.
While just past its prime, this hibiscus bloom is still lovely.
Glow.
A recent sunset made the clouds glow. I like how the trees lean into the image, framing the scene.
Formation.
Faye and me were compelled to stop and watch this formation of Tundra Swans.
