Another entry for the Miscellany. I've played with this word before, but my first effort wasn't a square, so when I decided I wanted to write about it for my blog, I needed a new version. This is it.

Photo (which is a great gray owl) and textures by me, except for the border, which is by Terry.

Whenever I go for a walk in the woods, I can't help but wonder about how the critters I share the forest with perceive their world. Check out the latest miscellany post for a bit of insight:

The photo and textures are mine, frame texture by terry.

This may be my favourite Miscellany image yet. It started out as just a slightly dark picture of a magpie, a bird I see almost everyday in the winter; but it quickly transformed into a wonderful fountain of inspiration and New Year's resolutions. You can read about it here: wp.me/p10non-73

I lost count, but there's probably about 6 textures involved in this image. It always amazes me how each new layer plays a part in the final image. I couldn't take one out without significantly changing the look.

After having a lovely chat with The Deer Whisper (www.flickr.com/photos/drydenrenegade/), I settled in to take some chickadee shots, yesterday afternoon. I was just packing up to head in and warm my fingers, when I turned around and spotted her. We had a lovely 15 mins or so together, while she and her friend checked me out.

I've played with this image before, but I'm happier with this version.

Please accept it as my Christmas card to all my Flickr friends. May your holidays, however, or whatever you celebrate be filled with joy and goodwill.
