The wind chill this am is -18°F🥶.
Don't know about you but I could use a flower photo this morning to warm things up. The magnolias and rhododendrons have set their buds but we're still a few months away from blooms. Can't wait.

1. Photograph of the exterior of a pink magnolia flower with out of focus magnolia flower buds, branches, and a blue sky in the background. The magnolia petals are translucent and the light from the sun passes through the petals creating areas of highlight and shadow. This variety of magnolia has 7-9 pink petals that radiate from and cup the cone-shaped reproductive structures. The flowers are attached to branches via a short stem and in this variety the flowers bloom before the tree begins producing leaves.

1. Photograph of a male cardinal perched on a brown branch extending vertically from a slender tree truck with out of focus browns in the background. The cardinal is facing right in profile leaving one eye visible. Male cardinals have brown legs and feet with grasping claws, red feathers with darker red on their back, wings, and tail, an orange beak, dark eyes, a black mask that wraps from top of the beak to its neck, and a crest on the top of their head that can be raised or lowered.

My Schlumbergera has gifted me another blooming yr so time for an annual portrait.
Went a bit bokeh-fied (f/3.5) this yr. Such wonderful 3-D shape and that magenta really heats up a room🔥. I like my new 🔵 pot 2.

1. Closeup photograph of a Schlumbergera cactus bloom with out of focus cactus foliage and a dark blue pot in the background. Schlumbergera, sometimes called Holiday cactus, are a succulent and they have flat, segmented stems rather than leaves. The stems spread out from the main plant and new segments begin at the end of each stem. This variety has hot pink or magenta petals that fade to white and light pink near where the petal attaches to the flower center. Flowers begin as long, tight buds. They open into a flower with two rows of petals with one row telescoping from the other row in a tubular, oblong shape. Each row has around 10 petals. From the center of the flower extends long white stamens with yellow anthers and a long, magenta pistil with a magenta stigma.

1. Photograph of a sunrise above a neighborhood lined with trees, utility poles, and gaslight-lamp style streetlights. The trees, poles, and streetlights are along the bottom frame and increase in height near the far right and left frame where the objects in view are much closer to the camera. The streetlights are on, glowing a warm golden light, and, due to foreshortening, run in a curved line from the middle-left frame to bottom center. The remainder of the frame is a sunrise sky filled with heavily textured clouds and patches of clear sky between the clouds. There is also a large patch of vague, smooth clouds in the top right corner. The textured clouds are highlighted rich orange-gold with darker purple-gold shadows. The patches of morning sky visible near the horizon are pale blue while those near the top of the frame are a darker purple-blue.

1. Photograph of a male cardinal perched on a brown tree branch with out of focus branches, leaves, and an overcast sky in the background. The branch runs vertically through the center of the frame. The view in from below looking up at the branch which is in front of and partially obscuring the cardinal's underside. The bird's body, vertical in the frame, is facing to the left with its head turned to the right in profile leaving one eye visible. Male cardinals have brown legs and feet with grasping claws, red feathers with darker red on their back, wings, and tail, an orange beak, dark eyes, a black mask that wraps from top of the beak to its neck, and a crest on the top of their head that can be raised or lowered.

1. Photograph of a pale purple iris flower (likely a native blue flag variety) at the top of a stiff, slender green stem with out of focus green foliage in the background. This variety of iris has three pale purple upper petals called standards and three pale purple lower petals called falls. On each fall there are signal or "beard" that extends from center of the flower to the top of the fall. For this variety the beard is a bright orange-yellow.

1. Extreme closeup of a sweat bee (my ID app suggests it may be Halictus tripartitus) standing on a pink stonecrop flower with out of focus flowers and green foliage in the background. Only the sweat bee's face is in focus while the rest of the frame is out of focus. Stonecrop has lily-like shape with petals that end in sharp tips and the center is filled with oversized stamens and pistils that are as long as the petals. This species of sweat bee has a black-metallic green head and thorax, black and white striped abdomen, six black segmented legs, two black large compound eyes, three black simple eyes on top of its head, two large dark-amber mandibles, two black and dark-amber antennae, and two transparent wings with dark amber veining.

1. Black and white photograph of two people jogging down a paved trail winding its way through fog-shrouded, leafless trees. The trees are blackened by the moisture while still being obscured by the fog. The paved trail begins in the lower center-right frame, curves to the left, and then curves back to the right where it disappears around a corner. The joggers are dressed in shorts, long-sleeve shirts, and baseball caps.

1. Closeup photograph of a leaf cutter bee in flight and approaching the interior of a hot pink lily (likely an Asiatic lily). The bee is flying right to left in profile and its lower abdomen is covered in a dense layer of orange pollen. Leafcutter bees store pollen on the underside of their abdomen as opposed to the pollen baskets on the hind legs of other bee species. This leafcutter species has similar features to honeybees with a yellow and black striped abdomen, a dark thorax and head covered in fine hairs, two antennae, three simple eyes on the forehead, and two compound eyes facing forward, six legs, and transparent wings with dark veining.

1. Closeup photograph of a black bee (a two spotted longhorn bee seems likely) standing on the bright orange-yellow florets of a hot pink zinnia flower. Zinnias have large blooms that top long, stiff stems with large leaves. The flower is made up of overlapping layers of petals that radiate from a center filled with florets. This variety of zinnia has hot pink petals and red and orange-yellow florets. This bee species has similar features to honeybees with a black abdomen, thorax and head covered in fine black hairs, two spots on either side of the back of the abdomen, two long antennae, three simple eyes on the forehead, and two compound eyes facing forward, six legs with pale yellow pollen basket hairs on the hind legs, and nearly opaque wings with dark veining.

*Ahem. No animals were actually shocked during the taking of this photo. That is simply the killdeer's resting "shocked" face.

1. Extreme closeup of a green moss (possibly a joint-toothed moss) along with it's stalk-like reproductive organs. The moss leaves, called a gametophytes, are bushy with over-lapping leaves. Throughout the photo there are sporophytes, one in sharp focus near center top frame. In this species, the sporophytes consist of long stalks that curve at the top with a spore-containing capsule dangling down from each.

I always whistle the same 🎵 when I come across any of the local crows hoping they'll remember me/deem me harmless so I can get a bit closer. Some crows let me get close. Some don't. Either way I think I need to work on some new material lest they become bored.

1. Photograph of a gray squirrel standing on a scrubby lawn with a brown, fallen leaves surrounding it including one in front of its front legs. The squirrel is in profile, facing right, sitting on its back paws and standing on its front paws with its tail pulled up and curled backward. It may be in the process of hiding stores for the winter and may be probing the soft soil under the leaf for digging a small hole. Grey squirrels have grey and brown fur with white abdomen and chest fur, a long bushy tail, a triangular head with dark eyes, proportionally large ears, a typical rodent muzzle, long, black whiskers, hand-like fore paws, and claws that allow the squirrel to cling to vertical surfaces.

1. Photograph of a male house finch perched on a gray branch covered with over-wintered crap apples with a blue sky in the background. The finch is left leaving one eye visible. It has fluffed up its chest feathers to keep warm in cold weather but looks as though it has its breast thrust forward. Male house finches have white and brown mottled feathers with a strawberry-red blush around the head and chest that varies in intensity from male to male. They have brown backs, brown wings with white edging, dark eyes, a silvery-grey beak, and black legs and feet.
