Two Phoebes were each taking a pause between swoops of fly-catching over the water, one in a blue scene and one in a brown scene.
The blue of the water with the floating duck weed could make you think spring was imminent.

Just a few hundred feet away, the prominence of dull brown in the background clearly says winter is still here.

Love both scenes. Hopefully, Spring is around the corner! We were down your way this weekend to the boat show. I have to give in to hubby’s adventures since he gives in to my birding adventures. 🙂
Thanks, Donna! I sure am ready for spring and always happy February is a short month! Glad you are getting to see more of SC; boats can be good.
We’ve been boaters for 30 years, hubby always looking for the ‘next’ one, lol.
The background in the second photo was just meant for that little bird. Wonderful!
Thanks, Belinda! They are a good match!
