Birds and Backgrounds

Autumn and winter give us beautiful hues. A lot of brown and beige with lighter shades that I love for a background. Even red and orange at sunrise and sunset create a soft tonality. Bonus is that I get enough sleep in winter, because the days are short. I want to share a few photos from the past weeks where I find the settings and tinge especially pleasant.  Special thanks to the birds who legitimized the photographs of these backgrounds.
