This little cutie (a white-breasted nuthatch) appeared as I was checking out the protruding roots of a white ash (my new project :) I love how photo opportunities come along in unexpected ways.
@ingrid01@ludwigsdiana Thank you. I wish I could take credit for the diagonal composition, but that comes from the nuthatch itself. They actually creep *upside down* on tree trunks. In this case, it was creeping down the protruding root of the tree, the root itself on a diagonal. We learn from nature :)
