it's 13 degrees (!!!!) & all three rings are going at the bird feeder circus in the snow...

as far as i know, this is record-setting cold as well as a record-setting snowfall of 8 inches, at least while i've lived here in this house (34 years) it's never been anywhere near 13 f'n degrees... pretty sure the previous low was 17...

(this photo from yesterday, i'll go out later to try for more)

i don't know that people can always get a fair idea of the size of a birb in a picture but Woodstars are truly tiny...

i've missed a few #ThickTrunkTuesday postings but i'm back with a game of...

Spot The Woodpecker

taken through my office window in the rain so it's a bit dark but that's all part of the run, right?

my first beta test of Affinity Photo 2.6 object selection

Boobear the 28-year-old cockatiel is helping me by posing on a white/messy background, i think that's a tough enough test

snap the photo, select the bird, select the not bird, apply gaussian blur & desaturate to the not bird channel

had to do a little tinkering because object selection missed part of the crest but it's... semi-OK?

comments welcome
