I know this sounds a bit dramatic but I actually had nightmares over this Epic Fury (honestly only Trump could have come up with that) Iran war last night. Thanks for the lovely Raccoon footage.

Contrary to Trump's repeated lie, his tariffs are NOT paid by other countries. The New York Federal Reserve has confirmed that 90% of the economic burden of his tariffs has fallen on US companies and consumers. Trump is not only a pathological liar but economically illiterate too. What a surprise πŸ™„

A large troll sculpture made out of many pieces of wood on her hand and knees with a pile of wood in front of her. There are two pine trees on the left side and one just behind her butt in the distance. There's snow on the ground and the sky is blue with some low clouds.

The last in my American birds series (not the last ever, just currently) is this dark-eyed junco. It's surrounded by a blossom of Autumnal leaves. I'm going to be starting a female cardinal today to add to the collection.

A not-completely-exhaustive illustration of our winter shorebirds, but these are the species that you’re most likely to see during winter around Teesmouth (northeast England).

A thin tree branch hangs down from the top of the frame and forks throughout the frame against a distant background of snow and bare dark trees. Seven bright red birds, one near the center with his back to the camera and his wings spread wide, fill a vertical column among the branches while three creamy brown birds with pale red highlights form a triangle to each side and below the males. Heavy snow falls across the entire scene.

Nothing draws visitors like an easy meal during adverse conditions. πŸ˜„ Here's a small sampling during a recent snow.
