Neuroscience
The recent snow was a great opportunity to take bird photos - from the comfort of my own living room (and occasionally on the deck).
This is my favorite from the 1400+ photos I took during the snow. I was standing underneath the sourwood tree on our deck, hoping for a bird to come within my camera's range.
And along came the brown-headed nuthatch!
I went outside early the next morning and captured some amazing images of sun shining through leaves, ice, and snow. This is oak leaf is my favorite. Click on the image to see more from the snow, or browse my "Outside in the South" album on Flickr.
