A one-inch round, brown, and prickly looking seedhead on a brown stem is topped with an irregularly shaped "snowball" that's almost two inches high. The snowball looks as if it should tip over because it's narrower on the bottom than in the middle.

A day after our weird Friday the 13th storm, snow stayed precariously perched on an echinacea seedhead. The birds wiped out the echinacea seeds long ago on all the other plants, but for some reason haven't snacked much on this one.

A black and white landscape photo of trees. There is a larger tree in the foreground, to the left, in the middle of a field. Behind it, somewhat blurred and in the fog, are further trees and more fields, across the horizon. The sky above is grey. It was supposed to be a sunny day, but the fog persisted well into morning and early afternoon, and the sky remained a dull grey. Right as I was leaving to go home, the sun came out to play. Of course.

They said it would be sunny…

Today’s BotD themes are grey day and abstract. Have a grey heron from today that fits the first theme (and yesterday’s twigs are us that I missed!) and the back of a ring-necked parakeet - those greens 😍 for the second.

This photograph captures two dogs enjoying a run along the shoreline of a beach. The scene shows a sandy beach with ocean waves in the background. One dog appears to be a black, long-haired retriever type, possibly a Flat-coated Retriever. The second dog is a lighter-colored, short-haired breed.

There's no greater joy than water dogs at the beach. Mr. Calvin with his visiting buddy, Mr. Phuzz. Cannon Beach, OR.

A view of a lake with mountains and trees on either side and grey snow clouds covering the sky.

A sky view of bare branches, grey sky, and a bird flying away from the camera.

An image of a metal dock jutting out from Bowen Island into Howe Sound/Georgia Strait. The dock has a horizontal portion with triangular struts anchored into the water on two very tall pillars with an arch above them. Approximately a dozen gulls are sitting or standing along the railing. A cormorant is perched at the top of the arch spreading it's wings. The late afternoon sun is very bright rendering the birds largely as silhouettes. The choppy water is deep grey. Across the water, small mountainous landforms are mostly reduced to tonal blue silhouettes. The sky has a large amount of cloud cover, but it is very uniformly spread out and letting lots of light through.

A solo cormorant airs out its wings between fishing dives; a group of gulls lounges.

A photograph of a squirrel. He is in the centre of the frame, squatting and looking straight at the camera. His tail is up. He is on a small branch protruding out of an old, moss-covered oak tree. His grey fur contrasts nicely against the deep green of the moss. Behind, more branches and a bit of the sky are blurred out.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph featuring the rounded, textured top of a dark mooring post in the sharp foreground. The surface of the object is wet and pitted, reflecting light in small, shimmering droplets. The background consists of dark, out-of-focus water with soft ripples creating a bokeh effect. The composition uses a shallow depth of field, drawing intense focus to the craggy texture of the foreground against the smooth, dark expanse of the water above. The overall mood is moody, minimalist, and serene, framed with a thin white border.

Scene at the beach. Man is walking his dog. Fog and mist over the ocean, rocks off to one side and in the distance. The dog is running full out, taking a leap into the air. His reflection on the still wet sand.

Just a dog and his boy. Mr. Calvin going horizontally for an early audition for SuperDog. (Kidding). Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Now with all the snow and ice gone...
It's time to BBQ a tender pork loin in the back...
With it I'm making grandmas mashed potatoes,
with her secret ingredient that makes them out of this world.
Also a kale and garlic salad. Yes, kale can taste very good...
