December Visitor

Merry Christmas!

Here it is, the last picture in the 2012 calendar. Obviously, it's for December.
Personally, I really like the colors in this picture. They're wintery and muted, but they contrast nicely with the purple finch.

Speaking of colors, I'd like to point out something brilliant I did with this year's calendar. If you start at the beginning (January) and look at each picture until the end (December) you'll notice that the animals form a color spectrum. For example, January's picture has a red(dish) horse, February's picture has reddish-orange salmon, March's picture has an orange ladybug, April's picture has a yellow-orange monkey, May's picture has a yellow python...
