late spring offerings

A closeup of a tufted titmouse sitting on the edge of my husband's hand, considering a selection of seeds. The bird is blue-gray above, with a cream-colored belly, streaks of rufous orange-cream visible just below the wings. They have big round eyes, a black beak, and a perky crest. The background is blurry, a landscape of deep green leaves.
The titmouse has selected a peanut twice as big as their beak, and is crouched for takeoff.

thank you, friend
