This is the other half of the road going down towards the beach. It's the part nearest home.
Taken on rather a grey day and related to this photo:

We left Colonial Williamsburg before sunset yesterday, but before we had gone 10 miles toward home, I pulled off US 60 to get some shots of the sunset, from behind a strip mall. This was taken about 2 minutes after sunset.

When I took the monkey nurse at the beginning of November I'd also seen this one playing golf, but couldn't get a clear shot. He was right at the front of the window this morning and I couldn't leave him there without taking his photo.
Here's the nurse:

I finished my afghan a few days early. The temperatures for the next week and more were all going to be well below the range that would require a color change.
It's a Christmas tradition in our house that we hide a glass pickle ornament on the tree that the kids look for to "win" a special gift - the "pickle prize". I decided to make this afghan the pickle prize and the competition to find the pickle was fierce. I also hid it very well this year and it took a record 15 minutes to find it! In the end, my youngest won the afghan and he couldn't have been happier!

Digging into the ancient archives again for some much needed light and colour. Taken way back in 2015.

. . . One of the most popular window displays on Front Street in Traverse City is the infamous "fragilee" (it must be French) Major Award!
Got that Christmas Story spirit yet Facebook and Flickr friends?
. . . You would think this guy would be really easy to spot against a nice white blanket of snow! In reality, he was hunting in thick brush and running pretty fast, so it was hard to follow him and get a clear shot!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
One of four photos taken this morning from different balconies on the 34th floor of our condo building. It feels like -28 C in Toronto, and you can see steam rising from the lake.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day!

The Emerald Toucanet is a small toucan of the mountainous regions of Central and South America. Like most toucans, its diet consists predominantly of fruit, although they will eat insects, small lizards, and eggs. Apparently, without adequate fruit in their diets they are susceptible to a disease of iron overload, similar to hemochromatosis in humans. These beautiful birds apparently adapt well to captivity and are said to make good pets. Hmm....toucanets as pets. That’s got a ring to it! #EmeraldToucanets
Nature and evolution have a strange but predictable way of filling ecological niches. The roseate spoonbill is an elaborately adorned example of natures evolutionary capabilities. A unique bird with a spatulate bill, unlike any other, capable of sifting nutrition from the murky mud in shallow pools of water. Always a phenomenon to observe, these feathered friends are astounding in breeding plumage, defining the bizarrely beautiful. #RoseateSpoonbill
One gorgeous pine tree up on the top road above the beach. Especially for Wendy pefkosmad.

One of two Jackdaws that were perching on a chimney pot. Saw loads of Sparrows and some Blackbirds too, but they weren't staying still.

When I got back in from visiting the car park I noticed this in the patio door. I've seen it before, but hadn't got a good photo of it.
Just love how it looks like a third of our sideboard is outside.
A slight crop, but otherwise SOOC.

Yes, there is a sunroom up there, as well as a huge balcony.
