I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

" We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up
How unfair, it's just our love
Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world
Would you dare to let it go?
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
It's not, about not about angels, angels ... "

What I like about this one is that was able to capture the rose in full bloom, the rosebude and way behind what is left of one.
December is here, and it is going to bring snow, strong winds, slippery roads and for sure flight cancelations.
Still, it will bring also the beauty of the slowly falling snow, the joy of having a hot cup of cocoa or coffee, ( your choice :) and of course the unique feeling of being safe and warm at home...

The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find...
....When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way❤️

...sang about New York,
that this city never sleeps,
this applies to Frankfurt as a whole and
Not at all. Frankfurt likes to sleep
and a lot. But if you kiss it awake,
then it's off.
You just have to know how. Frankfurt
you have to touch a thousand times until
it eventually zooms in.
The financial metropolis Frankfurt in the moonlight
thanks for looking...
Wenn Sinatra....
....über New York sang,
dass diese Stadt niemals schlafe,
so gilt das für Frankfurt ganz und
gar nicht. Frankfurt pennt gerne
und viel. Doch wenn man es wach küsst,
dann geht es ab.
Man muss halt wissen wie. Frankfurt
muss man tausendmal berühren, bis
es irgendwann 'Zoom' macht.
Die Finanzmetropole Frankfurt im Mondschein
danke fürs schauen....

I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars Winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam, the same old dream And every stop that we made Oh, I thought about you And when I pulled down the shade Then I really felt blue
I peeped through the crack
Looked at the track
Oh I'm going back to you
And what did I do? I thought about you There were two or three cars parked under the stars
Winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam, the same old dream
And then I peeped through the crack And looked at the track
Oh I'm going back to you
And what did I do? I thought about you

Picture taken at our home! <3
Nella via, illuminata dagli alberi addobbati e dalle vetrine dei negozi, la gente camminava frettolosa, come formiche vicino ad un formicaio. La neve, caduta nella notte e gelata subito per la tramontana, scrocchiava sotto le scarpe, altra ne scendeva dall'inizio della mattinata.
-Buon Natale- dicevano tutti, -buon Natale, signora Davis; buon Natale, signor Gunther, a lei e alla sua deliziosa mogliettina!-
Fu allora che Natale Sanders, uscendo dall'osteria con un discreto tasso alcolemico nel sangue, non poté fare a meno di esclamare:
-Ma insomma, per Dio, perché tutti mi chiedono di stare buono; mica ho fatto mai niente di male, io...!-
Una signora, con le mani infilate nel manicotto di pelliccia, udita la frase, si rivolse all'uomo attempato e gli parlò: -Temo ci sia un equivoco, signore!-
E Natale, abbastanza rassicurato, appoggiandosi ad un estintore per non cadere sulla neve ghiacciata, rispose:
- Meno male, cominciavo un tantino a preoccuparmi! Oggigiorno, di questi tempi, si finisce in galera per un niente !-

Newberry Volcano is a large active shield-shaped stratovolcano located about 20 miles (32 km) south of Bend, Oregon, United States, 35 miles (56 km) east of the major crest of the Cascade Range, within the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Its highest point is Paulina Peak. The largest volcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, Newberry has an area of 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2) when its lava flows are taken into account. From north to south, the volcano has a length of 75 miles (121 km), with a width of 27 miles (43 km) and a total volume of approximately 120 cubic miles (500 km3). It was named for the geologist and surgeon John Strong Newberry, who explored central Oregon for the Pacific Railroad Surveys in 1855. The surrounding area has been inhabited by Native American populations for more than 10,000 years.
Saíra-sete-cores / Green-Headed Tanager is a bird of the Thraupidae family, quite common in southeastern Brazil, but can also be found in southeastern Paraguay and northeast of Argentina.
Its scientific name means: from (Tupi) Tangará = dancer; and (German) seledonkopf = Name given to this green bird by Statius Müller (1776), derived from the French Celladon = light green. ⇒ Light green dancer or seledon dancer.
It measures about 13.5 centimeters long and weighs about 18 grams.
The adult male features complex and shiny turquoise plumage, pale yellow-green, black, violet blue, orange yellow, turquoise, light green and green. The eyes are dark with a region around the eyes with black plumage.
The female has the plumage quite similar to the male's plumage, but it has the less intense color appearing to have the most erased colors.
It feeds on wild fruits, with apparent preference for small fruits and dark coloration. Eventually it is seen eating small insects and their larvae, such as caterpillars and termites. Being a general frugivore, it can also feed on exotic fruits in feeders, gardens or backyards of houses, such as bananas, papaya, orange, exotic palm fruits, wild lily, yellow magnolia, etc.
It is a monogamous bird that reaches sexual maturity at 12 months. It makes a bowl type nest, built by both adults with grass and leaves, and lined with soft materials. This nest is usually hidden in vegetation, between tree leaves, or on plants along the trunks and branches.
The time of reproduction of this species takes place between November and February in Brazil, between November and December, in Paraguay, and in November in northeastern Argentina.
The female lays 2 to 4 pale eggs, pink white with brown or gray spots. The incubation lasts from 15 to 17 days and is made by the female. The young man leaves the nest 14 to 18 days after the hatching of eggs. They still depend on parents for food for a few weeks after leaving the nest. Young people previously born can accompany adults for several months during the first year.
It can be found in all strata of the Atlantic Forest and in the low woods of the coast, where it is very frequent. This species can be seen to peers or in small groups, sometimes with up to 20 birds.

THANKS!
About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown.
What they eat: Insects, seeds and nuts(Courtesy RSPB).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍

This kayaker was peacefully enjoying the grand view on the reflective waters of Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana. My wife and I had just finished a hiking tour. I could not resist the opportunity of sneaking behind and framing him and his colorful kayak into this shot along with the pristine reflective lake water and surrounding peaks. I love the result.
Mountain Overlook about 1 mile up in this view with some haze showing and Blue Ridge in the background, found in North Carolina.
... about the fighting techniques of dinosaurs. If I were Tofu or Sethi I would be worried now but maybe she was thinking of the neighbour's dogs when she chose this book ... or of the vet (who will have the pleasure of meeting her again next Wednesday).
