One of our blue jays enjoying the first snow of 2015.  Light is often a challenge on snowy overcast days.  Often need a high shutter speed, high ISO and a stable base for the photo.  No flash here.

Sometimes all it takes is being at the right place at the right time.  The light was fleeting. In a moment the color was gone.  Canadian Geese at dusk in Pennsylvania's Perkiomen Valley.
