Attention Alphabetters!
Mon 8 Dec is the start of Week X and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Xmas. Predictable yes, but it’s timely- and it’s X so give me a break! Post anything at all Christmas related- traditional, quirky, modern, abstract, whatever!
Use the # below and have fun😊

A solitary white yak grazes quietly beneath the vast Himalayas, its heavy coat glowing against golden autumn trees and the immense sweep of snowy peaks rising in dramatic contrast behind it.

I nearly forgot about the #HolidayRobin theme, and that wouldn't have been good. So here's a set of #Robins from 2024 to entertain you.

A beautiful start to the day on Thursday last with the low winter sun lighting up the forest. This is how the hike started, walking through Tibradden to the cairn and onto Fairy Castle.

A view through a sparse forest, grass and moss covering the ground. The morning sun lighting the way.

For Rob's #BirdOfTheDay today is #BirdsOnTwigs, any bird on a thin branch. The Alternative theme is Ducks #OutOfWater.
Here's Rawnsley Robin on a Holly tree branch just up from the lake at Keswick,Cumbria
#ukwildlife #birds #robin #nature #photography #eastcoastkin
A close up of a Robin perched on a Holly tree branch on a bitterly cold winters day in January. Some of its upper feathers are blown upwards by the cold winter wind. The rest of its plumage is fluffed up to combat the cold. It is in a front facing profile and is looking to the right of the picture with its head turned and right eye and beak visible. It has an orange-red face and breast, brown cap, upper feathers and tail, and a white-grey body. Brown skinny legs and feet grip around the thin brown branch. The background is blurred daylight with light brown branches and green leaves of Holly bushes.

A photograph of a European Robin that is facing forward showing off his bright orange chest. His head is turned to the right as viewed as he clings on to a thin branch. The background is festive that shows blurry shadows of surrounding fir tree branches and light snow falling.

And a #HolidayRobin. I think our neighbourhood ones have packed their bags and went to winter somewhere sunny. I don’t hear them anymore. Can’t say I blame them. Hopefully we get some from up north to fill the void. 🪶

The image shows several daisies (Bellis perennis) in close-up, with one flower in sharp focus in the foreground. The background is blurred and consists of green grass and other blurred daisies, emphasising the sharpness of the flower in the foreground.
