It was not visible from a distance…in the julie mango tree…
…the large spider’s web…
…and, entangled by its leg…
…a small, dead bird…a bananaquit (Coereba flaveola)…with its bright yellow chest feathers and distinctive white eyebrow….
Sometimes a spider’s web catches something unexpected. Traps are like that.
My New Year posts tend to be similar, having some combination of last or first sunset or sunrise photos, and reflections on endings and beginnings, and a wish for a happy new year. New Year 2023 will be no different…
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are special because we deem them so…a recognised meeting point of the old and the new. An opportunity to let go and to start afresh. Yet they are really no different from any other day in that regard…when the moon – in whatever phase – sets…
…and the sun rises on another day…
…when birds, sitting in trees, sing heartily…
…when sunlight streams across hills….
Each day offers the opportunity for reviewing where we are and whether there are things we would like to do differently going forward. We don’t have to wait till the end of the year.
P.S. All photos were taken from my roof…a spot that holds a special place in my heart! 🙂
