January trees, hills, clouds, and a crow

[spiralsheep]

Crow: one of a family of four who were playfully bonding and claiming their territory.



View from the clear summit of North Hill to the summit of Worcestershire Beacon under low cloud.



Yew bark: red, pink, brown, orange, yellow, green, black, and blue.



Tree with tangled branches.



A hole in the tree trunk, about a metre above ground level: who lives in a house like this?



Whoever it is has an impressive winter seed store. Ms Mouse, is that you?

I love your bark and tree shots very much. That first one with the crow is terrific! My first thought was "I want to read the book this is the cover for". *g*

Thank you. Nature does all the work while I just point my camera and press a button. I love corvids. They're such endlessly entertaining birds, with their curiosity.

And you've inspired me to post a March round-up to this community now.
