I can't say I love the cold or trudging through the snow, but it is the best time of year to commune with my friends, the deer.

Swarovski used to make a lovely range of beads ... and I collected a few of each design I thought might photograph well. These are among my favourites. Called 'brilliants' they create all kinds of colours when the light hits them. These are tiny, about 8mm cubes.

There is some confusion about the exact identity of this species. While H. Priesner considered all Eastern European specimens belonging to P. pogonioides, others consider this name a synonym of Priocnemis propinqua.
Based on the sculpture of the propodeum of the collected specimen, this is P. pogonioides.
This is a very rare sp. in Hungary. Until now, it was known from 3 localities, represented by about as many specimens. Bácsborista (near Kelebia) is a new locality.
I collected a pile of words / to arrange and send these to you. // But, an intruder came - or was it the Sout-West wind? / and now only these words were left / TODAY."
monoprint, since 22x17 cm, (DM, 2021) in private collection.
This is part of an M&S tableware set called Autumn Leaves.
I started collecting it when I got married over 50 years ago and have added to it over the years, often as because it was going out of fashion, but it's timeless to me.
It's stoneware and very long lasting.
...is a salt that forms as a thin, delicate crust on the surface of seawater as it evaporates. Fleur de sel has been collected since ancient times (it was mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his book Natural History), although it was traditionally used as a purgative and salve. It is now used as a finishing salt to flavor and garnish food. The name comes from the flower-like patterns of crystals in the salt crust.

Collected Tigger yesterday and when we got home we discovered he had fleas so Nina bathed him. He has been exploring a bit today. He spits and arches his back at the other animals. It’s hilarious.

Schomburgkia, pronounced schom-BURK-ee-ah is a genus of Orchidaceae, The genus was named in honor of Sir Richard Schomburgk (1811-1891) who explored and collected extensively in Guyana and became Director of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens in Australia. Species in this genus are epiphytic or lithophytic.
An epiphyte is an organism that grows on the surface of a plant and receives moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it. A lithophyte is a plant that grows on rock.
According to the Royal Horticultural Society, Schom. is the official abbreviation for this genus.

On my way to Tadoussac (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/36646393504) and leaving Quebec city, somewhere in the corner of my eye, I saw something that collected my interest, and turning left I saw some amazing waterfalls further away, but because it was late I decided to drive on and reserve this maybe for the way back.
And then I left Parc Du Bic (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/38768796185) in horrible weather, that lasted the whole day, until.............. I arrived in Quebec city again and it started to clear up. I was extremely lucky to see these amazing falls, and I spent a few hours trying to catch its grandness with a sun shining brightly!
My whole Canada 2017 trip: From Brighton Ontario I went straight to Tadoussac that's in the heart of the marine park, and the day after I went to the camp site Les Bergeronnes, where I spent 5 days whale watching on the shore (and one boat trip), every 5 minutes or so seeing whales popping up.
On the fifth day, around sunset I took the boat from Les Escoumins to Trois Pistoles. The south and the north shore of the bay are very different. The north shore has lots of rocks, while the south part is a little more sandy, and it is a fantastic drive all along! I finally headed to PN Gaspésie, where I spent 3 very cold nights in my tent (with all my clothes in my sleeping bag), but the park is wonderful!
Back in the direction of Brighton I spent a few hours in old Quebec, and drove the 1000 islands road, along the saint Lawrence river.
I certainly can recommend everybody who loves nature doing this trip. It should take around 2 weeks!

A name on a barn built in a peaceful setting last century has outlived its original owner. One value of growing old is the ability to stay calm and collected in difficult circumstances because of past experiences.
Day 258/365:
We collected our grandson from school and took him to his swimming lesson today. This is an ICM (using the slow shutter app on my iPhone) of one of the interesting buildings next to the swimming pool. I blended two images together for a bit more oomph.
I'm hanging in here by the skin of my teeth and apologise for my lack of involvement. I really picked the wrong year to decide to do another 365.
Wakering Photography Group Summer Flowers Flickr Challenge.
This wonderful colourful field caught my eye this morning so I collected my camera and captured a couple of images, this is looking North West from Barrow Hall Road across to Shopland.
The farmers crop is known as Flax (Linum Usitatissimum), also known as common flax or linseed, it is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae, It is a food and fibre crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world, today however is extremely hot and already in the high twenties.
The textiles made from flax are known in the Western countries as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes, and table linen.
The oil is known as Linseed Oil, in addition to referring to the plant itself, the word "flax" may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant.
The plant species is known only as a cultivated plant, and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species Linum biennia, called pale flax.
The telegraph poles have a five degree list to the North, this is due to the excessive winds we often encounter across the flat landscape.
Collected in Beaufort County, South Carolina. UC Botanical Garden. It has a wonderful delicate sweet scent! 🌿
This Long-tailed Tit had just collected some cobweb from the Hawthorn twig for nest building. Nests are made from moss, lichen, spiders webs and lined with around 1500 feathers. The Hawthorn flowers are ready to burst as well...... it must be Spring :o)

Flakes collected on the trees
Where they rest and they freeze
High above the pure white ground
Without a word or a sound
Freshly fallen, new on old
Kissed by air, bitingly cold
Waiting silently up in the trees
Ready to disappear, when they unfreeze
Collected Sunrises in my Gallery:
About every other day, I shoot the view from my window and collect the pics in a gallery here: Views from my window
and the few that made "explore"
Bird fleas, Ceratophyllus gallinae
Size: 2 mm
This is a studio stack of two (dead) bird fleas placed on a microscope slide. I didn't actually position them like this. I placed them on the slide encapsulated in drops of alcohol. However the drops got stuck together and as the alcohol evaporated the fleas were drawn closer to each other and eventually ended up in this configuration. I liked the symmetry so I decided to shoot them as they were :)
I collected these fleas while helping a friend emptying the bird houses at a local golf course (a procedure repeated each year in March). Please see the comment section for more images and info!
Stacked from 21 exposures in Zerene Stacker (lit with two LED-lights).

The last mushrooms (I think) collected this year, this time only honey fungus :)
Honey fungus (Armillaria mellea), is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected. Armillaria mellea is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The fruit body or mushroom grows typically on hardwoods but may be found around and on other living and dead wood or in open areas. Armillaria mellea mushroom are considered good edibles, although some individuals have reported "allergic" reactions that result in stomach upsets. The mushrooms have a taste that has been described as slightly sweet and nutty, with a texture ranging from chewy to crunchy, depending on the method of preparation. Can also be pickled and roasted.

Ostatnie już (chyba) grzybki zebrane w tym roku, tym razem same opieńki :)
Opieńka miodowa (Armillaria mellea) – gatunek grzybów z rodziny obrzękowcowatych. Występuje na wszystkich kontynentach z wyjątkiem Antarktydy i Ameryki Południowej. W Europie Środkowej jest pospolita, w Polsce również. Pojawia się najczęściej jesienią od września do listopada, ale czasami może pojawić się nawet na początku sierpnia. Zwykle występuje gromadnie, czasami bardzo licznie. Rośnie na drewnie (pnie, pniaki, gałęzie, korzenie) różnych gatunków drzew liściastych w lasach, ogrodach, parkach i sadach. Opieńka jest pasożytem atakującym zarówno martwe, jak i żywe drzewa. Wywołuje u zaatakowanych drzew chorobę o nazwie opieńkowa zgnilizna korzeni prowadzącą do obumarcia drzewa i powodującą białą zgniliznę drewna. Opieńki są grzybami jadalnymi. Są smaczne, twarde, o łykowatym, mniej wykorzystywanym do konsumpcji trzonie. Do spożycia używa się najczęściej młodych kapeluszy. W stanie surowym lub niedogotowanym opieńka miodowa może być trująca. Dlatego też należy ją najpierw obgotować przez około 5 minut i odlać wywar, po czym dopiero poddaje się ją dalszej obróbce.
Collected by nuns at the Ciucea Monastery, Cluj County, Romania
Ciucea Monastery is a special place of worship. It was founded by the famous poet Octavian Goga. The Birth of the Virgin Mary was founded in 1939, one year after the poet died.
“Vazhiny, as a churchyard in the Zaonezhsky churchyard has been known since 1587. The churchyard was located near the village of Migunovskaya, and the wooden Voskresenskaya church of the first half of the 17th century has survived from it. Here Novgorod collectors collected from the ships sailing along the Svir a duty to the sovereign's treasury. "
"Важины, как погост в составе Заонежских погостов известны с 1587 года. Погост находился у деревни Мигуновской, от него сохранилась до наших дней деревянная Воскресенская церковь первой половины XVII века. Здесь новгородские откупщики собирали с судов, плавающих по Свири, пошлину в государеву казну."
