Merlin (and his Mom)

Pinkish clouds behind a bare tree seem to align with the branches like hair ornaments.

The clouds seem entangled in the trees.

A blue sky is backdrop to fluffy white clouds. Hazy orange setting sunlight is reflecting off the lower clouds. A tree stands silhouetted on the left.

A lovely slightly hazy sunset

2 gray clouds resembling lenses in a blue sky. The brown sunlight valley fills the lower part of the picture. Mt Yonah is in the background.

The 2 gray clouds resembling lenses have stretched, and are joined by 3 smaller similiarly shaped clouds in a blue sky. The brown sunlight valley fills the lower part of the picture. Mt Yonah is in the background on the left. A tree stands in the left of the picture.

Are these lenticular clouds? There were 2 when I first noticed, but smaller ones have popped up as I've watched. That is Mt Yonah on the horizon.

The pink rays of the setting sun escape above and through a bank of gray clouds. Their orange glow caps Mt Yonah, outstanding above the mountain ridge.

The sunset is rather stunning in this tumultuous weather event.

This is crazy! I depend on you!

Bare trees stand blackly against the flaming sunset.

Gentle diffuse orange sunlight peeks from the gray-white clouds. Bare trees rise against sky.

A gray and pastel sky

A cat, shadowy black with his back to the camera, looks longingly out the windows at the white ice-encrusted yard. There are porch rocking chsirs visible to either side, and green pine trees to the upper right.

The ice and cold continue to thwart Merlin's patrol duties.

Sorry. Has someone said this?
1) Trump can’t impose tariff unilaterally
2) Trump has no $$ to buy Greenland
3) Trump has no authority to leave NATO

Sunset tonight features orange above the moutain ridge rising to crossing slashes of dark gray and maroon, below a gray-white nightfall.

Two bare trees stand outlined against the sunset. Above the mountain ridge, deep orange hues rise through gray-white clouds to pink clouds at the top.

#sunset

Orange glow of the setting sun stretches above the black horizon. Above in the gray sky the sunlight reflects pinkly off the clouds. Two trees stand in black silhouette just off-center, stretching bare limbs to the heavens.

Jupiter is the point of light in the gray sky at the upper right. A bank of white and gray clouds, tinged with sunrise pink, stretches across the sky.

The bluebirds are so thirsty! This flock of 12 to 15 bluebirds are hanging around and I'm having to fill the bird twice a day. This is after I refilled it this afternoon

Trees silhouetted in black against the gray fog at nightfall

It was foggy and rainy this evening.

This was a color photo, but the only colors were shades of black and gray.

The wrong kind of "rocky" road...

Yet another #recall

5 bluebirds perch on a brass birdbath mounted on a metal stand. A green bush is behind them on the right. Brown leaves are visible on the left.

The bluebirds appreciate the refilled birdbath.

Forgot to tag #Hedgewatch

Wow! Beautiful ❤️

Black and white kitty sprawls on his back, white paws in the air. He's on the brown recliner, next to a holiday pillow with 2 happy snow people.

In the center, two bare trees are silhouetted against the blue sky with white clouds. The lower clouds are tinted gray, with some orange from the setting sun.

Sunset

Trees stand silhouetted against a brillant Sunset in flaming shades of red and orange.

Another extravagant sunset tonight

A brilliant orange, pink, and gray sunset over the dark mountain ridge. The silhouette of a bare tree stands to the right.

At the end of a rainy day, fog descended in the valley like a vast gray lake. Trees stand in silhouette in the foreground. In the distance is the glow of lights from homes across the valley.

Fog in the valley at nightfall

That isn't a body of water. It's fog, like a blanket over the trees in the valley.

The rays of sunlight stream down throught the blue-gray clouds
