The Truth / Despair. 🥺😭💔
A tearful Cas after making his declaration of love to Dean, Despair (The Truth). A tearful Dean realising what Cas is about to do, Despair (The Truth). The blood handprint, Despair (The Truth). A tearful Dean turning to see the Empty Entity coming to claim Cas (and Billie), Despair (The Truth).

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MorningLight. I chose this photo to match the theme. Bathed in morning light, the Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker wears a crisp, resolute expression.😊☀️🪶

A Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker is perched on a tree branch. Its back and wings show a pattern of black and white spots, while the underside is lighter with vertical streaks. The bird grips the branch with its claws and touches the bark with its beak. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the bird and the branch. 木の枝にコゲラがとまっている。背中と翼には黒と白の斑点模様があり、腹部は淡色で縦の筋が見える。鳥は爪で枝をつかみ、嘴を樹皮に当てている。背景は柔らかくぼけており、鳥と枝が際立っている。

The Red-headed Woodpecker is such a sharp looking bird. Love the steel blue edging to their black feathers.

A Pileated Woodpecker tips her head back after getting a beakful of water. Most birds, like this woodpecker, drink by scooping up water with their beaks and then tilt their heads back to send the water down their throats.

2025 favorite images, Day 4: This picture took me days to get: a marsh wren posing amongst the bur marigolds in the middle of the park. Marsh wrens are quick moving, secretive birds, and I spent three straight sessions camped out waiting for one to pop out and let me take a picture. #birds

As I've done the past couple years, I'll be posting my favorite images from 2025 throughout December, one a day. Here's a close image of a little blue heron with a green tree frog who's fighting for dear life, trying to pry open its beak. #birds
