Finally! A sunny, winter day with lovely fresh snow. We received about a foot of snow last night and so we headed out to get some photos before the wind knocked all the snow off. The temperature was -13C, but with the wind it was more like -25C. A bit crisp, but the sun made it all good.
Driving through the snow, the car smoothed and compacted the snow between the wheel ruts, but we had no problems. Snow tires and AWD make a big difference.

Bit of a crop, don't see these often...

Thanks for viewing, and for any favs/comments.
A bit of feline fantasy uses a photo that I took of my cat in his garden in Deep Dream Generator and Topaz Studio 2.

Me: This little bit of fluff that we got? No! However, I do call your hair wild!
La Mer: HA! YOU are one to talk!
Me: Oh! Point taken! :D
EN: The valley of the young river Danube between Tuttlingen and Sigmaringen is crowned by many rocks. Sometimes there are castles crowning the rocks. RE 3221 runs through the valley near Talhof and underneath Castle Werenwag, a bit west of Hausen im Tal station.
DE: Das Tal der noch jungen Donau zwischen Tuttlingen und Sigmaringen ist gekrönt von zahlreichen Felsen. Und die Felsen sind manchmal von Burgen und Schlössern gekrönt. RE 3221 rollt westlich des Bf Hausen im Tal bei Talhof unterhalb von Schloss Werenwag vorüber.
Took the Tamron for a walk today, as I wanted to get a flower for Macro Monday. Had to work at it, as it was a bit windy!

A black and white, Lensbaby photo of a weathered old wooden barn in a snow covered field. With a focus on the structure, the lens adds a bit of blur around the edges of the photo. The scene evokes the quiet solitude of a rural winter landscape, where the history of the structure tells a silent story of it’s survival against the elements.

Quick snap of a Robin in the garden when we had a bit of snow. Hopefully get some proper bird photos this year, would especially like some of dippers and curlews.
Last spring, I spotted these delicate little flowers on a neighbourhood walk and wasn't quite sure what they were. After a bit of research, I discovered they're Wild Tulips (Tulipa sylvestris). Not native to my area, I'm quite sure that the homeowner must have planted them as specimen plants. I don't know if they'll overwinter, so it'll be interesting to see if they appear next spring. If you're interested, here's a bit of info on this flower:
"Tulipa sylvestris, the wild tulip[3] or woodland tulip,[4] is a Eurasian and North African species of wild tulip, a plant in the lily family. Its native range extends from Portugal and Morocco to western China, covering most of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins, and Central Asia. The species is also cultivated as an ornamental and naturalized in central and northern Europe as well as a few scattered locations in North America.[2][5]"

Anyone driving the highway between Launceston and Hobart is well aware of this scene. It stands out like a little bit of Tuscany. Those pencil pines always remind me of that romantic region in Italy. Unfortunately, you won't find Tuscan wines here, but you do have plenty of sheep.
The Kite - a bit of Euclidian geometry
Building this staircase was a real challenge, due to the strange shape of the real estate. Instead of a rounded/spiral staircase the architect chose the shape of a kite.
Bit of a Wader day at Titchwell & Thornham on Sunday which is always a bit of a treat for us land locked Bedfordshire birders :-)
ENG: In my smartphone memory is now a bit longer a small picture series with 7 photos of the newest subway station of Berlin. The speech is here from the subway station Museum Island (Museumsinsel).
The "Museuminsel" subway station is one of three of the newest subway stations in Berlin's Mitte district of the same name. It is part of the extension of the U5 underground line from Hönow deep in the east of the city beyond Alexanderplatz to Brandenburg Gate and on to the terminus at Hauptbahnhof. Construction had its groundbreaking ceremony in 2010 and it was ceremonially opened in mid-2021. The mega highlight here is the integrated starry sky. The other two new stations are also already in operation and bear the names "Rotes Rathaus" and "Unter den Linden".

GER: In meinem Smartphone Speicher liegt jetzt schon etwas länger eine kleine Bilder Serie mit 7 Fotos vom neusten U-Bahnhof Berlins. Die Rede ist hier vom U-Bahnhof Museumsinsel.
Der U-Bahnhof „Museumsinsel“ ist einer von drei der neusten U-Bahnhöfe im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte des gleichnamigen Bezirks. Er ist Teil der Verlängerung der U-Bahn-Linie U5 von Hönow tief im Osten der Stadt über den Alexanderplatz hinaus zum Brandenburger Tor bis zur Endstation Hauptbahnhof. Der Bau hatte seinen ersten Spatenstich 2010 und er wurde Mitte 2021 feierlich eröffnet. Das mega Highlight ist hier der integrierte Sternenhimmel. Die anderen zwei neuen Bahnhöfe sind ebenfalls schon in Betrieb und tragen die Namen „Rotes Rathaus“ sowie „Unter den Linden“.
The sun rising over the city of Vancouver, BC - seen through a lot of window condensation! Hoping for more human warmth and kindness, and a bit more light and knowledge wouldn't hurt either.
This afternoon I made a photo walk, it was very cold and windy but beautiful nature. So I was very happy!

A bit of a Marmite shot, prompted by something I heard on the radio this morning about fatigue and general malaise brought on over the past two + years of Lockdown, It's claimed that people are either fatigued as a result of catching Covid, or possibly too much time in front of a screen causing 'information overload' as I know it , not getting out in the fresh air to exercise, to name a few things. As for me, I could sink my head into such a pillow and sleep for days on end for the simple reason that I'm using leg muscles that I haven't used in two and a half years.
can't take credit for the clown - :)
Merry xmas 900 followers and a Happy New year to * and... Thanks so much ~ 'Storie's~
You are so special
I always envy you a bit
You always know what to do and
And what's right or not
You are so sure
Everything around you
That you almost look like a wave that
That drags me
A bit of a nostalgia walkabout in Friargate, Derby. It’s very close to where I grew up and I have soft spot for the area.

Eastern Bluebird in my yard Chester County, PA on 4/3/2020.
I watched this male Bluebird carefully inspect the inside and outside of a new nesting box that I had put up, but failed to pursue his mate to even look at it, so I doubt that they will be using the nesting box this year.

I did a bit of research yesterday. This sheep often has dark liquid coming from the slit next to the eye. Sheep don't have a lacrimal gland, they have an infraorbital organ, a gland that produces a substance with unknown purpose. There are three theories about this substance. A: the moor substance, the more dominance. This could really be it. This sheep is the boss. B: the substance smells good (from a sheepical point of view) and could be a self-produced perfume. Maybe that's why my sheep look so befuddled. C: The substance is a self-produced skin-care. Sounds unlikely, but sheep have scent glands between their toes and while I thought that those interdigital glands produce a substance to nourish the keratin part of the toes, I read now, that the interdigital gland has a sexual function too. And I guess the feet smell better.
Just a bit of ice on the still waters along the edge of the river this morning. In one direction: A sleepy river with lots of waterfowl overhead heading off everywhere. In the other direction: FedEx tandem trailers boom over the bridge on their way to the interstate. It's strange sometimes taking landscape photos within a megalopolis
Hoping that you have a wonderful Sunday!
