The main river is off to the right behind the gazebo. This is a small inlet that freezes over and serves as a community ice skating rink. When I took this photo at the end of last November, the ice was not quite ready for skating and it was too far gone for paddle boats........lol.

This streetlight is at least 10 feet tall. Even then, it has fallen victim to graffiti. I'm really beginning to wonder if there is a surface in all of Fitzroy that hasn't been graffitied.
Taken on my daily dog walk. The leaves have almost gone as has the warmth of the sun but the beauty of nature starts a new cycle.
Still an old foto.
I'd be spending the weekend in Naeba ski resort, about 80 miles from Tokyo. Meaning, I'd be out of flickr and would see you my friends soon as I return back on Monday. Happy weekend to all.

Full moons remind me of my childhood when I would prefer skipping dinners but not the child plays we do under its splendor.
This is the same as the previous posted image taken early Feb 11 showing the thick fog with snow and bare limbed trees. This version is without a mat added. The location is in the central Maine Highlands. (image M1A1650) Please also visit: acadiamagic.com.

Taken with my new iPhone 6s+ on a foggy morning... and then massaging tone and feel in a few mobile editing apps. My previous iPhone was a 4s... as in much smaller screen, older iOS, and less capable camera. But now, oh... my... goodness! That familiar early exhilaration of shooting and editing on, and posting from my phone... a phone... is back! =)
This isn't the photographic direction or processing that I typically pursue (at least these days)... but I have to admit, my love of grit and texture and mood has been rekindled. At the very least, it will help keep things fresh and very interesting for me as I sometimes choose to leave the DSLR at home.
Another shot from the coldest morning of the year, -44.5, although by the time I was out and about it had warmed up to about -40. (Minus 40 is where Celsius and Fahrenheit meet.)
This is The Convent, on the edge of town. It opened in 1939 and for decades it was the local school, run by the Sisters of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Eventually a non-sectarian high school was built, and the convent was finally abandoned in the late seventies. A week before its demolition in the mid-nineties, Robert Ducan purchased it from the village, began renovations, and less than a year later he and his wife Mette opened it as a rustic bed and breakfast.
It's a "character place", charming, not ostentatious but comfortable, a beautifully preserved old building. For years I ran photo workshops based there; it's five minutes away from Grasslands National Park in one direction, 20 minutes to a different entry point. In between: ranches and farms. Oh, and I should add that it's now for sale.
In the warmth of summer, when the prairie cottonwoods are leafed out and the grass is green, it looks very different from this frozen scene. (The Convent is closed during winter months - no point in keeping it open, no one comes here in winter.) I'm not trying to sell the Convent for my friends, the Ducans, with this photo! I just stopped for a shot on my way out of town because I loved the light from the low, rising sun behind the old building.

"Trumpeter Swan Fly By" by Patti Deters. A large white Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) is seen with her wings spread, preparing to land in the misty cold water of the St. Croix River on a dark winter morning. There are several more swans just to camera left but it looks as if she is doing a fly by past the ducks and swans that are settled near the snow covered island. Winter is a great time to view these beautiful birds as they tend to come closer to shore in areas where the water isn't frozen.
