When the daily high temperature isn't much above freezing, I can't blame the squirrels too much for raiding the bird feeders.

 

BUT, when there is still plenty of "squirrel food" in several Goodie Bowls, I'm not at all thrilled to see the squirrels raiding the seed log. With graceful agility, this stinker was giving ALL the other squirrels a bad name with her gluttonous ways. I mean really!

  

*** Caught in the act while I was home sick on a Friday afternoon, recovering from an eye problem that is slowly getting better. It's hard to take pictures when you can't see all that well, so thankfully a few of them actually turned out.

A wonderful winter walk with wonderful Friends

A person is standing among the ice floes on the frozen sea surface minding his own business. He doesn't seem to be noticing he's standing on the ice and over the frozen water.

West Pond, Parsonsfield, Maine.

 

Looking out over West Pond from our sun porch today, the ice still clings to the trees from our recent messy sleet, rain, snow and ice storm.

 

Although it was bright and sunny today the temperature never got above 30F which did not allow the ice on the trees to melt.

i am amazed by her.

Winter photo with minor cropping and re-sizing. Colors are natural though. This scene is taken from outside of the back door of the community room at the McFarlin Chelmsford housing. It is almost dusk in this photo. I like the hill and the glow of the lights on the snowy ground.

Luosto is a picturesque ski village with a surprisingly large number of accommodations. Although there are a few hotels, you'll mostly find cozy bungalows here. Luosto is nestled in the heart of Pyhä-Luosto National Park, surrounded by ancient forests, rugged gorges, and peat bogs. It's a unique piece of nature rarely seen in our part of Europe. Finnish Lapland is far to the north, so there's usually plenty of snow here. Luosto offers a stunning landscape for adventurous activities and the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Finnish wilderness. Our plan is to climb the spectacular fell (mountain). As we step out of the car, it feels like nature here is in a deep winter sleep. Our hike begins at dawn in the remote hamlet of Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland, the colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset can be very intense due to the low position of the sun on the horizon. The long twilight periods can create unique colors in the sky, including green hues, due to various scattering effects of sunlight. The trees gently bend under the weight of the snow.

 

We walk along the ridge of the fells of Ukko-Luosto, passing through the surrounding primeval forest. The summer path to the top is closed due to avalanche danger, so we continue our journey and attempt to reach the summit via the northern ridge of Ukko-Luosto. The path ascends steeply through the enchanting ancient forests, where the trees covered in crown snow look magical. The last section to the top of the mountain has snow too deep for us. The path winds its way to the top of Pikku-Luosto Fell. We sink in and have to crawl to the top. Snowshoes are definitely necessary here. In the impressive Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut, we can take a break, warm up, and admire the magnificent view. It's terribly cold up here on the 514-meter-high mountain, partly due to the biting polar wind. The sun reaches its highest point on this short January day and shines beautifully just over the mountain's peak. There's also a solar halo visible, an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction, reflection, and scattering of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere. We thaw out a bit and rest before starting our return journey. Walking in the snow is exhausting. We take the same route back because we don't want to get stuck in deep snow and aim to be back in Luosto before dark. In total, we walked more than 18,000 steps, but we enjoyed this special place in Lapland. In Luosto, we treated ourselves to delicious reindeer jerky and panna cotta, while BieJee savored a reindeer burger.

 

Luosto biedt een prachtig landschap voor avontuurlijke activiteiten en de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de rust en schoonheid van de Finse wildernis. Ons plan is om de spectaculaire fell (berg) te beklimmen. Wanneer we uit de auto stappen, lijkt de natuur hier in een diepe winterslaap te verkeren. Onze wandeling begint bij dageraad in het afgelegen gehucht Ukko-Luostontien. In Lapland kunnen de kleuren van de lucht tijdens zonsopkomst en zonsondergang zeer intens zijn door de lage stand van de zon aan de horizon. De lange schemerperiodes kunnen unieke kleuren in de lucht veroorzaken, inclusief groene tinten, door verschillende verstrooiingseffecten van het zonlicht. De bomen buigen zachtjes onder het gewicht van de sneeuw. We lopen op de rug van de fells van Ukko-Luosto langs het oerbos in de bijzondere omgeving. Het zomerpad naar de top is afgesloten vanwege lawinegevaar, dus we vervolgen onze weg en proberen de top te bereiken via de noordelijke bergkam van Ukko-Luosto. Het pad loopt steil door de betoverende oerbossen, waar de bomen bedekt met kroonsneeuw er magisch uitzien. Het laatste gedeelte naar de top van de berg is de sneeuwlaag te diep voor ons. Het pad slingert zich een weg naar de top van Pikku-Luosto Fell. We zakken weg en moeten kruipen naar de top. Sneeuwschoenen zijn hier dus echt nodig. In de indrukwekkende Ukko-Luosto Scenic Hut kunnen we even bijkomen, op temperatuur komen en het magnifieke uitzicht bewonderen. Het is verschrikkelijk koud hier op de 514 meter hoge berg, mede door de strakke poolwind. De zon bereikt zijn hoogste punt op deze korte januaridag en schijnt prachtig net over de top van de berg. Ook is er een zonnehalo te zien, een optisch fenomeen dat ontstaat door de breking, reflectie en verstrooiing van licht door ijskristallen in de atmosfeer. We ontdooien nog even en rusten uit voordat we beginnen aan onze terugreis. Wandelen in de sneeuw is zwaar. We nemen dezelfde route terug omdat we niet vast willen komen te zitten in de diepe sneeuw en we in ieder geval voor het donker terug willen zijn in Luosto. In totaal hebben we meer dan 18.000 stappen gezet, maar we hebben genoten van deze speciale plek in Lapland. In Luosto hebben we onszelf getrakteerd op heerlijke rendier-jerky en panna cotta, terwijl BieJee genoot van een rendierburger.

 

Old Glory During A Rare Snow Storm Here In Tennessee.

The Great Heron bird was hunkered down, neck tucked in and wings covering his thin legs in cold weather @ Lake Crabtree County Park.

 

Once again many thanks for visits, comments and faves, much appreciated!

It struck me how lovely they looked against the snow.

 

This grouping was particularly pleasing to my eye; the browns, oranges and blacks against the bright white. And the texture of their plumage.

 

I saw this group in Pennsylvania and I've read that before 1935, Canada geese were nowhere in the State, now they are present in every county.

You' re Welcome!

Buggys feral sister, Lady P, who won't come inside even if it's cold.

Really cold weather lately, not safe to stay out for long. Battery resellers must be doing ok round now with this cold. Lots of stalling and boosting going on.

From a few weeks ago, will spring come soon? You never know, the weather is always changing.

It is very rare to see this type of weather in Muscat, Oman. It was a bit cold and cloudy and unluckily I forgot my camera at my home so I decided to take advantage of iPhone.

Paard van Marken (Horse of Marken) is the name of the lighthouse of Marken.

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - -

Het Paard van Marken is de vuurtoren van Marken. De vuurtoren is ontworpen door J. Valk en gebouwd in 1839 en staat op de oostelijke punt van het eiland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 16 meter en een lichtbereik van 16,7 km.

De toren is begonnen als een vierkante vuurbaak in 1700. Later werden er gebouwen aan de vuurtoren gebouwd, die de toren de karakteristieke vorm gaf. In 1814 kreeg de toren een mistbel. In 1839 is de ronde toren gebouwd op het fundament van de vuurbaak. In 1919 is de mistbel vervangen door een misthoorn.

Regelmatig heeft de vuurtoren last van kruiend ijs. In 1971 was dit zo erg dat de toren enkele centimeters van zijn plaats werd geduwd. Momenteel wordt de vuurtoren bewoond.

Sinds 1970 bezit de toren de status rijksmonument.

  

EDITED WINTER PHOTO: Created from my original winter photo that I took earlier this year on "February 26, 2022". I edited in both the moon and the evergreen tree. I used two programs. I used both "Paint" and "PhotoPad Image Editor".

Acrylic painting size 16x20. Done on raised canvas. This is a scene in Chelmsford, MA. Thank you everyone for all of your views, comments, group awards, and favorites.

When snow lands on the ground, the world becomes a peace’s untouched place. I know I feel bad walking on nature’s art️

Milford Sound is a beautiful fjord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fiordland National Park...sometimes described as The Eighth Wonder of the World.

 

Taken from onboard the two-story scenic cruise boat "Milford Sovereign" (capacity 300+ guests) on a cold and windy day. The other boat in the photo is dwarfed by the magnificent cliffs on both sides of the fjord :-)

Breathtaking view from the Seruni Hills of Penajakan 2. Lots of details in this picture, especially the town of Cemoro Lawang. The sun just rise and the reflection of the lights from the sun enhance the beautiful terrace of the earth contour. On the right side of the picture, we can see beautiful white carpet cloud which is so mesmerising.

 

Recommended place to see for photographer or even nature enthusiasm. This is the place you want to be, enjoy the beautiful view and nature.

 

I used HDR technique for this picture and tone mapped in Photomatix and Photoshop CC 2014.

 

Enjoy. :)
