Vista from the golf course of the Golf Club Karwendel in Wallgau.
Wallgau is a town in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria, Germany.
After some beautiful weeks in September and beginning of October we have now a change in the weather. Temperature felt from 26°C to 15°C in only one day - maybe we'll get the first snow in the mountains until tomorrow.
I used a great freeware tool to align my photos to create an HDR out of three photos:

Thanks to the grim weather on this day, this photo looks like a black-and-white shot, not colour. Just looking at this image makes me shiver, though in reality, it was not a bitterly cold day.
On 22 January 2016, I was fortunate enough to get a place on a bus trip to Lake Louise and the annual Ice Sculpture display, Banff National Park, in the Rocky Mountains. It is a two-hour drive west of Calgary. Of course, any time a bus trip is organized way ahead of the day, you have no idea what the weather is going to be like. The weather was grim all day, with snow all day long, turning to really heavy, wet snow when we stood in the parking lot at the end of the day. No sign of the sun, which made photography a real challenge. There were so many people visiting the area that it was almost impossible to get photos without at least a few people included. As you can see, even the mountains had mostly disappeared. Our bus driver, Tim, did a wonderful job of getting us to the lake and all the way back to Calgary. I was just so thankful that I wasn't driving!
Some of the group chose to snowshoe, others to walk/hike, and others to join Anne Belton's group for birding. I was expecting a stroll along the lake shore and around the Chateau grounds, lol, but instead we did a hike along the creek all the way to Lake Louise Village, roughly 4.2 km! The trail though the forest was very narrow - wide enough for heavy winter boots and icers plus maybe a couple of inches on either side. If you were unlucky enough to walk an inch further, you would have one leg plunge into snow up to your knee or higher. I was so thankful that this didn't happen to me, but it did mean that my eyes were looking downwards all the time instead of soaking up the glorious, snow-covered forest. The snow was so thick on the trees and when it became just too heavy for a branch to support, you stood the risk of being snow-bombed from high above. A lot of the trail was downhill - never fun in such conditions, but we all took it very slowly, though there were several tumbles or someone would end up travelling on their rear end. Not the easiset hike, but the surroundings couldn't have been more beautiful. Thankfully, the bus driver had arranged to drive down to the Village ready to pick us up and take us back uphill to the Lake.
As for the birds, well, they obviously didn't particularly like the grey, snowy day and stayed in hiding, other than several Common Ravens, a couple of Magpies, one or two Clark's Nutcrackers and two House Sparrows. Back at the Chateau, two of the birders did see a very distant Stellar's Jay - always a lovely bird to see, but it was too far for them to get photos.
We had time to wander round the Ice Scuptures area, in front of the Chateau. Some amazing work created by sculptors from various parts of the world. The one in this photo was titled "Canoe with three warriors", by Team Sakha from Russia. It won "Third Place" and "People's Choice Award". I think it was my favourite sculpture.
"Winter comes alive in iconic Lake Louise, Alberta. Ice Magic Festival, January 15 - 24, 2016 is a world class event with over 20 years under its belt. Talented ice artists from around the world delicately balance grueling physical labour with precision artistry in a 34 hour International Ice Carving Competition.
Jaw-dropping scenery sets the stage as ice carving teams of 2 create sculptures illustrating their interpretations of our chosen theme for 2016: Earth, Wind, Fire & Water - Elements of Life." Taken from link below. I love that the prize money for this competition is only a comparativey small amount, which I think shows that the carvers do what they do for love of the art, not for the money : )

So, a wonderful day trip for us all in breathtaking surroundings. I am especially appreciative, as I don't drive to the mountains, so rarely get to see them. Many thanks to FLC for doing such a great job of organizing this most enjoyable day for us. Thanks to Anne Belton for taking some of us on a beautiful, though not easy, hike through the forest. Definitely a day to remember.
Highland Park Golf Course is a public golf course in Birmingham, Alabama. Established in 1903 as the Country Club of Birmingham, it is the oldest golf course in the state of Alabama.
The fiercest storms may blow us off course... they may wreck our plans and break the keel, but hold on to the lines, and keep your course true.
Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō'aono! Aloha my friends, Happy Saturday!
There are all kinds of things to find at Fantasy Faire 2020! The beautiful Isle of Shadows is an amazing pirate and mer sim that you have to stop by and sea! (wink wink nudge nudge)
Belle Epoque brings you Anne, a wonderful piratey-themed outfit available in Maitreya and Legacy fitmesh. It's a one-piece top/skirt/corset piece, with incorporated belt and pistol. The detail is really amazing!
The fiercest dragons may become the fiercest friends.
Hope comes from unexpected corners. It's up to us to be the hope for others! Create hope by coming and shopping at the Faire, and take home little bits of magic for yourself.
Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

Tomorrow morning I finally have my first darkroom course! Really excited for it, because I already have a darkroom set for my own. Just need to know how to use it and I'm done! I can make my own darkroom! How cool is that?!
I had so much fun this afternoon scouting for the perfect location for a canvas art scene to hang in our clubhouse. The course was closed for work on the greens and we had the place to ourselves. Riding with my friend in his golf cart as we bounced all around and the wind blew was awesome.

My Valentine's meal this past weekend. The hush puppy tasted like CAKE. Crazy.

While dropping off some food to our friend at her house, we found her cats in the backyard with a full course of obstacles for their daily exercise. What a cat life!
The Barbary falcon (Falco peregrinus pelegrinoides) is a bird of semi-desert and dry open hills. It typically lays its eggs in cliff-ledge nests.
It is similar to the peregrine falcon, but smaller at 33–39 cm length with a wingspan of 76–98 cm. Recently, it has been found to be genetically similar to other subspecies of Peregrine falcon, so it is now considered a subspecies.
The female is larger than the male. It resembles its relative in general structure.
Adults have paler grey-blue upperparts than the peregrine, and often have a buff wash to the barred underparts, whereas the larger species has a white background colour. The nape is rufous, but this is difficult to see.
Sexes are similar, apart from size, but the young birds have brown upperparts and streaked underparts. The streaking is lighter than in the juvenile peregrine.
The call is a high-pitched "rek-rek-rek".
The Barbary falcon also bears some resemblance to the lanner falcon, but can be distinguished from that species at rest by the head-pattern, and in flight, by the proportions, flight action and underwing pattern.
The Barbary falcon differs in appearance from the peregrine falcon according to Gloger's rule. The genetic distance is slight and the species form a close-knit and somewhat paraphyletic group in DNA sequence analyses. In fact, some taxonomic authorities consider it conspecific. They differ more in behaviour, ecology and anatomy.
They are able to produce fertile hybrids, but they are generally allopatric and only co-occur during breeding season in small areas such as the Maghreb, the Punjab, Khorasan, and possibly the Mongolian Altai, and there is clear evidence of assortative mating with hybridization hardly ever occurring under natural conditions. In short, though they occupy adjacent territories, they breed at different times of year and Barbary falcons virtually never breed with peregrines in nature.
The fossil record adds little to the issue. A humerus some 9,000 years old (i.e., after the last ice age) from the Aswan area in Egypt, where Falco peregrinus minor occurs today, was identified to belong to the peregrine.
The Barbary falcon is one of the rare cases that may arguably be considered a species under the biological species concept, but certainly not under the phylogenetic species concept rather than the other way around as usual. This case demonstrates that what makes a "species" is not only its descent, but also occurs to a population in the course of evolution, how it adapts, and how this affects its reproductive isolation (or lack thereof) from sister taxa.
