Your Top 3 for December

[Brownie]

Almost forgot! Hoping we can get some more participation. Post your top three made in the month of December '22. My months was limited to birds. For some reason I took no holiday shots at all.

Too easy for me to pick 3 Waxwing shots, but I'll throw in the Kestrel as the light was perfect. The last Waxwing shot is getting an aluminium print for our bedroom wall.

If you hadn't put up the waxwing shots, we would've demanded a medication check!

As I said in another thread Tim, my SD card is pretty much all pictures of my daughter. I'm glad to have captured her first Christmas.

This next one was during "Tummy time" but it sure looks like she's not impressed with me and trying to negotiate new terms lol!

Since I shoot two systems currently, some of my best December shots would include images from a Nikon D850 (including a better shot from the fog day pictured here). However, if I limit it to my Sony setup (A74 with 200-600) then perhaps these are top three.
1) A very rare fog in the desert (only third one like this I remember in 29 years living in Tucson)
2) Yellow-rumped warbler shot through my living room window
3) Sunrise through cattails at Sweetwater Wetlands

You don't have to limit yourself to Sony. Tim has said in the past the occasional photo with a different system is fine. I've posted other systems before.

Thanks Chris! All three shots were taken in Longwood Gardens just outside Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. That shot was taken in the East Conservatory. Got lucky that day as the light was just right.
