But a Christmas Eve snow
A day early this year...
___________
Even though we remain hovering right at the freezing point, early this morning big, fluffy, and wet snowflakes began to fall, continuing even now and providing a beautiful, fresh white accent to the landscape...the northwoods' annual celebration of the season. This shot, as with so many others over the years, taken from my deck.
[This is also the time of year at which I get confused as to whom I've wished Season's Greetings and to whom I have not. Forgive me if I repeat myself and, in the spirit of the holidays, be patient with an old man, accepting good wishes however often they may be repeated. It's the thought, not the memory, that counts. ;-))]

my favorite flowers: poppies in between the grain.

Sorry - but the evening light was so changing - just processed this one and really like the colours and textures. Cable Beach, Broome. Western Australia.
This owl had been staring intently at the ground off and on for a period of time but never actually left its perch.

Little Ringed Plover- Charadius Dubius
The Little ringed plover first nested in the UK in 1938, but has since moved in happily! It has taken advantage of an increase in man-made flooded gravel pits, reservoirs and quarries that provide perfect habitats.
Delicately built small plover with bright yellow eyerings. Note dull pinkish legs and large white forehead patch (in adults). Plumage much like bulkier Ringed Plover, but white eyebrow continues unbroken across forehead. In flight shows narrow, indistinct whitish wing stripe. Breeds on stony substrates around lakes, gravel pits, and along rivers; migrants occur in wide variety of fresh and brackish wetland habitats, but rarely out on open tidal areas. Clipped “peu” call quite distinct from call of similar Common Ringed Plover.

Hurray! This photo made it to Explore's front page. It is not photoshopped or superimposed or anything. I used a little digital enhancement to bring out the detail in the clouds and color in the backgroud. The balloon was sharp and detailed in the untouched version. © all rights reserved
Today there were 3 balloons up. I had 10 passengers. It was a pefect flight and a perfect day. Just the right amount of clouds and wind and sun and hassle-free landing fields.
This photo shows the Remax Balloon flown by Bill Baker with Black Mountain (San Diego city park open space area) in the background, and way to the back left can be seen Mount Woodson, between Poway and Ramona, a popular rock climbing spot.
... but probably not for the nose? ;-))
Fruits of a stinking iris / Übelriechende Schwertlilie (Iris foetidissima)
in Botanical Garden, Frankfurt
It is known as "stinking" because some people find the smell of its leaves unpleasant when crushed or bruised, an odour that has been described as "beefy". (Wikipedia)
But who should crush Iris leaves?
the evening sky over Lake Mälaren in Uppsala. The ice can thaw in parts, but it freezes anew when the sun goes down.../Vårvintern, en kväll vid Mälaren i Uppsala.../Entre invierno y primavera, un atardecer en el lago Mälaren, Uppsala. El hielo se descongela en partes durante el día, pero se vuelve a congelar cuando baja el sol...(DSC_5535-3)
these Wildebeest had spent the night in the woodlands and were heading towards the Ndutu Marsh area (in the south east of the Serengeti, Tanzania )
The south east of the Serengeti is the most southern part of the annual Great Migration . It is the area where most of the Wildebeest calves are born.

It was a bluebird sky when we left for Squamish the other day, but I was happy to see this large cloud over the mountain to add some interest to the sky. This is the Squamish estuary - the tide was the lowest I've ever seen it.
Another few weeks and there will be a lot more green here - right now it's still kind of wintery looking.

😂😂😂 Another capture from my recent snow shoot, we haven’t had another downfall since, but because the temps are not exceeding 0c, it’s still on the ground, just a little bit too icy to go walking in it. This will be my last post for a few days now, we’re off on a road trip to Cornwall on Friday, so we have loads of packing and tidying up to do in the meantime. I’ll reply to comments a bit later on when I have a break. Just wanted to share this capture of this adorable dog playing in the snow. Have a great day and keep warm. 😍❄️❤️

The Western Jackdaw is a smaller member of the crow family.
From research and experiments it is clear that these are very intelligent birds.
Anyone with bird feeders can observe how inventive they can be when trying to get to the food.
They are capable imitators of the human voice and of calls of other birds.
also called European Jackdaw or Eurasian Jackdaw

Old houses always have vibes. This one was particularly interesting. It is maintained beautifully, but has some rather strange vibes coming off of it is in an area that could be very busy. It brings nothing to the area because it’s been closed for quite some time.. i’ve always thought when I see really interesting properties if walls could talk, what would they say? This house didn’t seem to be able to share. No one seems to know the story of the closures of every business that has tried to survive in this historic building. The only comments I obtained from a couple of locals is that the place is haunted and very creepy.. one lady shared a worker has been coming and going doing some restoration and his constant companion, a small, mixed breed dog stops, staring at the door, and refuses to go in even though her owner is in there. That is a curious thing. As the little dog is quite adventurous per the lady, and always accompanies him on all jobs . hmmm
