Clouds in Time Lapse

It was very windy and a little over 50 degrees today – warm for this date in January. Thunderstorms with heavy rain moved through in the morning and after the rain stopped, the winds continued. The clouds were moving quickly and also moving in two different directions, which made it a great time for a short cloud time lapse video. Enjoy!

A Fox Squirrel Meditates

With a heavy lake effect snow hitting northeast Ohio last weekend, it was hard to find any color in the landscape. But one fox squirrel braved the bad weather, sitting quietly in a low branch in our oak tree and seemed to  meditate over the whiteness all around. The squirrel’s coloring looked warm in contrast to the white snow and the grayness of the tree. Here’s a photo.

Northern Cardinal Blurred by Snow

During a heavy snow over the holiday weekend, a male northern cardinal was taking shelter on a tree branch. I managed to get a picture before he flew away, but sadly the snow was so heavy at the time, the bird looked a little fuzzy in the photo. Still, with a little help from Photoshop, a blurry bird looks much better as a colored sketch-like image. The color of the bird was not altered in any way – he was certainly as bright red as he looks in the photo.
