At this time last year the crab apple tree in my front yard was in full bloom. This year it has been loaded with Robins and Cedar Wax Wings.
This Robin is waiting for the sun to rise.

The other thread was getting pretty long. I really enjoy stopping in to look at what everyone has to post up for the day.
This one was taken about a mile south of my cabin in NW MN. The Nature Conservancy owns a lot of land there and burns often in the fall but this one was a wild fire roaring across the prairie late in the day.
