Week 45. Trapped.

There wasn’t many photos to pick from for week 45. I didn’t have much time to get out with a camera due to a variety of issues.

I managed to get for a walk on Saturday afternoon after the snow had stopped. I wasn’t many yards into the walk when I spotted a leaf trapped in the snow that was trapped in Pine needles. I couldn’t tell if the leaf had been caught in the Pine needles before the snow settled or if it was caught in the snow.

I tried a few different compositions and initially used a different version in this post before changing it for this one.

A second shot from my Sunday morning walk during week 44. I was considering this as the pick for week and now I think I prefer this shot.

I was struck by the number of trees initially and then the pattern and complexity of them now that most of the leaves are off the branches.

Week 44. Clinging on.

We had lots of wind, rain and wet snow in week 44. I went for a walk on Sunday morning and spotted this solitary Maple leaf still clinging on despite the recent weather.

Grumpy looking Blue Jay.

A shot from Sunday afternoon of week 43. It was alternating between light rain and wet snow. I had set the camera up because there had been two Fox Sparrows in the yard earlier.

The Fox Sparrows didn’t reappear but I got shots of various species including this Blue Jay. I think it’s just the angle of the birds head that’s making it look grumpy.

The last few.

This Maple tree had lost almost all its leaves, there was a small group of leaves left in one spot that caught my eye.
