Silver Maple

 The old silver maple has lost its leaves and it looks pretty much forlorn. We had five of these trees at our old place back in 1976. Through the years the storms took them out along with the city deciding the last two needed to go.

Northern Flicker Woodpecker

 The markings of the woodpecker are unusual. The feathers too have a different kind of texture. The photo shows a head in partial shadow. I had to shoot the  photo so quickly and only get one shot as he was gone in a second. 

Red in the Morning

 It was below freezing this morning and the sky had a temporary red glow that lasted maybe fifteen minutes.
