Photo Friday: Wildlife

It’s been awhile since I submitted anything for Photo Friday, but when I saw that the theme for the week was “wildlife”, I couldn’t resist. I happened upon this dark-eyed junco as I was stalking a wood thrush a couple weeks ago.

Redwoods

I've had an enjoyable week living amongst the redwoods at Mount Hermon near Santa Cruz, California. The above photo is my submission to this week's Photo Friday challenge: Iconic.

Meditation

The theme for this week’s Photo Friday challenge is “meditation”. As I was brainstorming ideas, I found an antique copy of this Prayer Book for the New Year sitting on my bookshelf. The book contains the service (in both English and Hebrew) for Yom Kippur. The first shots I took seemed to be lacking something, so I placed the kippah (that I knit myself) into the frame and came up with this shot.

White

Sarah has submitted several of her photos in the weekly challenge at Photo Friday and I thought I’d follow suit and begin with this week’s challenge: “White”. I looked out my sliding glass door one day to see a shadow of my bird feeders being cast upon the snow and couldn’t resist getting this shot
