We've had very few sightings of large wild animals in November and December. On Christmas day, however, a lone coyote paid us a visit, and I was lucky enough to get a few shots when it was about 30 feet from the kitchen window.

Der neue LGBTIQ* Weihnachtsmarkt in Berlin
Die LGBTIQ* Winterdays (15. November - 23. November 2019) und der Weihnachtsmarkt „Christmas Avenue Berlin“ auf dem Nollendorfplatz ergänzten Berlins Weihnachtsmärkte. Der Nollendorfplatz direkt am Metropol Theater erstrahlte in neuem Glanz. Zum ersten Mal fand dort ein LGBTIQ* Weihnachtsmarkt in Berlin statt - die „Christmas Avenue“. Am 25.11.2019 öffnete die „Christmas Avenue“ ihre Tore.
Groß geworden in Köln, zog es die „Christmas Avenue“ nach vielen erfolgreichen Jahren nach Berlin. Die Schirmherrschaft für die „Christmas Avenue“ Berlin übernahm der Regierende Bürgermeister a.D. Klaus Wowereit.
Neben Glühwein, heißen Cocktails, einzigartiger Dekoration und täglich wechselndem Bühnenprogramm präsentierte sich der Weihnachtsmarkt der LGBTIQ* Community als ein Markt für wirklich jeden - alle waren willkommen. Der Markt bot neben einer erstklassigen Getränkeauswahl, kulinarischen Highlights und einem unvergleichlichen Lichtkonzept einen täglichen Adventskalender, präsentiert von den Hotels der „pink pillow Berlin Collection“. Jeden Tag hatten alle Besucher die Chance, beim Öffnen der Türchen tolle Preise abzuräumen.
Die „Christmas Avenue“ Berlin bot ein tägliches Bühnenprogramm in den Abendstunden. Hier präsentierte sich das „Who is Who“ der LGBTIQ*-Community. Wöchentlich wiederkehrende Tages-Highlights wie etwa die „Happy Hour“, „Drag Bingo“ am Dienstag oder die Wahl zum „Face of Christmas Avenue“ jeweils mittwochs sorgten dafür, dass garantiert kein Tag wie der andere war. Eine Partyhütte für bis zu 50 Personen ausgestattet mit einer Glühweinzapfanlage konnte incl. einer Eisstockbahn für private Weihnachtsfeiern gemietet werden.
Als Bereicherung für die Berliner LGBTIQ*-Szene war die „Christmas Avenue“ nicht nur eine zusätzliche Attraktion in der Hauptstadt, sondern leistete durch Spendenaktionen zudem einen besonderen sozialen Beitrag zugunsten diverser gemeinnütziger Vereine.
Gloria Glamour und Jurassica Parka suchten das FACE OF CHRISTMAS AVENUE.

Christmas Avenue Berlin - The finale of the 2019 Face of Christmas Avenue competition
The new LGBTIQ* Christmas market in Berlin
The LGBTIQ* Winterdays (15 November - 23 November 2019) and the Christmas market "Christmas Avenue Berlin" on Nollendorfplatz complemented Berlin's Christmas markets. Nollendorfplatz, right next to the Metropol Theater, shone in new splendour. For the first time, an LGBTIQ* Christmas market took place there in Berlin - the "Christmas Avenue". Christmas Avenue opened its doors on November 25, 2019.
Having grown up in Cologne, Christmas Avenue moved to Berlin after many successful years. Former Governing Mayor Klaus Wowereit took over the patronage of Christmas Avenue Berlin.
In addition to mulled wine, hot cocktails, unique decorations and a daily changing stage program, the Christmas market of the LGBTIQ* community presented itself as a market for everyone - everyone was welcome. In addition to a first-class selection of drinks, culinary highlights and an incomparable lighting concept, the market offered a daily Advent calendar presented by the hotels of the "pink pillow Berlin Collection". Every day, all visitors had the chance to win great prizes by opening the little doors.
The "Christmas Avenue" Berlin offered a daily stage program in the evening hours. The "Who's Who" of the LGBTIQ* community presented themselves here. Weekly recurring daily highlights such as "Happy Hour", "Drag Bingo" on Tuesdays and the election of the "Face of Christmas Avenue" on Wednesdays ensured that no two days were ever the same. A party hut for up to 50 people equipped with a mulled wine dispenser and a curling rink could be hired for private Christmas parties.
As an enrichment for the Berlin LGBTIQ* scene, the "Christmas Avenue" was not only an additional attraction in the capital, but also made a special social contribution to various charitable associations through fundraising campaigns.

Describe:
The past month, for me, has been pretty hectic. Finishing finals, preparing for Christmas, helping people move from house to house. It’s been a non-stop ride, but it’s been a good one. I’ve finally got around to making a post on the good ol’ blog to sum the past month up.
I hope that everyone is ready for Christmas and I hope that everyone gets to spend it as they wish.
Merry Christmas everyone and I’ll see you on the flipside!

Well, since you know what I haven’t been doing (out taking nature photos,) I figured I’d show you what I –have- been doing over the past month.
Caden and I have been pretty busy lately finishing up our final exams at UCA and preparing for the next […]

I had to play with my Christmas ornaments before putting them away for the season. I like this one so much it may be my Christmas card next year.
Most Germans put their christmas tree up only on Christmas Eve, but since my family and I are not only German but also American... well this is simply an American tradition I'm very fond of.
Christmas at my grandfather's house in Sherborn. Clockwise from left: my father; my half brother Jeremy; my stepmother Janet; my uncle Paul; my sister Kathie; my grandfather. My aunt Chris took this photo.
Unknown date, so I'll guess 1994, based on how old Jeremy and Kathie look.
After presents were opened, a Christmas wrapper fight erupted...
