After a very soft November, December came in gradually with a wet snowstorm on the 5th. Here is some snow …
Here is my only photo of some Snow Birds (aka Snow Buntings) who often flash their white wings when roused from their roadside pecking (salt?). This was shot from a long ways away. Beautiful birdies, worth looking at up close. Amazing birds when you look at their migration patterns (high arctic in summer, around here in the winter).

I came across some more of Mark Berkery’s Macro Photography this morning. This is a great illustrated article about how he does it.
