A short exposure - stop motion view of an American Goldfinch leaving its perch just as it’s hopped off a little branch. Although this is a rear view of our subject it’s still quite pretty, showing clean and subtlety graduated under plumage, and tiny open feet.
A glimpse at departure.

A bum shot of a Bull Finch, they always look great against a cold blue winter sky.

A Dark-Eyed Junco “steps” away from us into the twilight of the bush edge. Everything about this image is indistinct. Our hero appears to be within a maze of little branches. The focus is soft. The light is soft. The contrast is muted. The palette is essentially greys with only a hint browns and yellows from an Oak leaf and his beak respectively. But I find it an image that stimulates my imagination towards tales of mystery and wonder.
The Junco slips away through the gloom.
