Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.
I do not know how it ended. But chances are, that the cat did get what the cat wanted.
Addendum (2021) I miss these moments, I know, this situation is going to be over, but nevertheless...

Tawhai Falls is a curtain waterfall in the Tongariro National Park on New Zealand's North Island, a small distance north of Whakapapa Village and Mount Ruapehu.
This was taken on a crisp but clearing morning in Autumn, March 2016.
The tree was traditionally decorated with edibles such as apples, nuts, or other foods. In the 18th century, it began to be illuminated by candles which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification. Today, there is a wide variety of traditional ornaments, such as garlands, baubles, tinsel, and candy canes. An angel or star might be placed at the top of the tree to represent the archangel Gabriel or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity.Edible items such as Gingerbread, Chocolate and other sweets are also popular, and are tied to or hung from the tree's branches with ribbons.
Our tree as you can see is covered with everything & anything, a real eclectic mix
I can take no credit for the final outcome other than getting the tree down from the loft & dressing the tree in lights in a very artist manner
As you can see on the picture in the first comment Cortez is very skinny, but the good news is he doesnot need insuline anymore since september 2016. And he still is doing well. Allthough he sleeps more, his appetite is good and he still can jump on the kitchen counter to see if their is some food left.

I posted this shot earlier in the year, but it is one of my personal favorites so here it is again in Highest-Res. I hope you like it, and I also hope you each have a great new week ahead.
It's a common Green Darner, I believe. These insects tend to hover in one place, so it's not as difficult to photograph them in flight as it might seem.

Looks like there was a second one forming on the left, but unfortunately it did not.

After a couple of colder days the weather turned mild and sunny on Saturday. Time to have a look for the pikes in the lake.The Hücker Moor is a nice little lake in the Herford area (Northwest Germany). Peat was cut here more than a century ago and created this lovely landscape. Today the place is a great location for wildlife and worth a trip for the local folks in all seasons.

I love these horses and visit them to say hello regularly. They are always so friendly and inquisitive. They love love !!
Also because I love this music and think it goes well with my feeling about these two beautiful animals and the times when we've said "Hello - I love you".

Un jour de juin juste avant le coucher du soleil, j'étais là pour admirer la sortie des pêcheurs du port de M'diq pour la nuit, c'étais un magnifique spectacle.
