Again, nothing much happening in the neighborhood critter-wise in early January, but when out on a photoprowl (or out anytime and anywhere), I keep my eye peeled for anything that might fill my frame. This tree trunk is wet from falling rain and melting snow, and that only brings out the contrast in color and texture provided by the rugged bark and the delicate (if dense) moss and sketchy lichen. Add the few pine needles at the bottom to give scale to the whole composition, and I can spend some time with this image. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 52mm equivalent field of view.
