It is an odd winter. The piles of snow we had ten days ago have disappeared under above zero temperatures and rain. This trend is uncommon in January in Ontario! The snow you see in this photo is now all gone!
Thank you all so much for your support and kindness throughout this year!
Best wishes for a bright and beautiful Holiday Season.
今年もたくさんの温かいコメントありがとうございました。
どうぞ良いお年をお迎えください。

Deze reuzensequoia vond ik in het arboretum in Eenrum. Deze tuin is het levenswerk van Notaris Smit uit Eenrum. In 1968 plante hij de eerste boom in een kaal weiland. Nu staan er 600 verschillende rododendrons en 400 uitheemse boomsoorten. Een wandeling meer dan waard.
...kinda reminded me of a histogram. Besides a slight sharpening adjustment, border and name, this photo is untouched.
Gorgeous views like this are only part of the sensory thrill of the Oregon coast! Imagine the salty flavor in the air. A sudden gust of cold wind blows in your face like a splash of cold water and gives you rosy cheeks. Seagulls are calling as they glide past you at eye level. The sound of barking sea lions carries from somewhere below. Your adrenaline is activated as you visually gauge the precipice just beyond your feet. And you feel so alive!!

Not the most exciting subject but for some reason I liked the results. When I took the photo I hadn't planned on posting it.
I took this with the Meyer-Optik Goerlitz Trioplan f2.8/100 lens with the lens wide open at f2.8.
Finally got to see the Lone Cypress in Pebble Beach which I have been anticipating. Too bad the sky just wanted to be completely blue. Maybe next time. Nor-Cal is got to be my favorite place to run around with a camera in hand. :-)
Flowers of the conifers (pine, spruce, fir, and other cone-bearing woody plants) are called strobili, which means small cones.
◾Still having the effects of the last winter here. Hopefully we'll have a real spring weather since this weekend! 🌞
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
