Sunlight and snow in the goshawk forest the other day.

A small detail in the woods earlier this month. I noticed a spruce branch touching the trunk of a silver birch by chance one day while I was walking home. I snapped a photo and then forgot it until today. It's simple, but I quite like it actually.

I often try to spot small details in the forest, but I don't know how this tiny Norway spruce had escaped my attention – until today. Guess who has walked by that spot for years...

Are there any botanists out there? Is this spruce a seedling or a sapling? It was difficult to photograph, as you might expect. The spruce kept disappearing into the chaotic background until I managed to get this photo by shooting wide open. It turned out alright, but I wish there was snow.

Dear Friends,
This Great Horned Owl snoozes in a #NorwaySpruce tree. It's an extreme crop, not terribly sharp, still a lovely thing to notice and share with you on this frosty mid-winter morning. Today, it will remain below 0 (celsius) all day except for those sheltered spots where the sun can work its everyday miracles.

Good morning from #bugey #france. Here’s my #norwayspruce #forest created using #dalle #aiart #ai. #autumn
@William_1170 Are your #NorwaySpruce in Haut #Bugey being killed by spruce bark beetle? Lost about 20% here. And because it's illegal to burn we have to pay to have felled trees carted away. Sigh. #Comté is my absolute favourite #cheese. #France
The most beautiful Norway spruce mutation I’ve ever seen. A genetic mutation caused the young shoot Color turning red instead of the usual sap green. I would be very happy to have one like this in my yard. #norwayspruce #forestry #mutation
