I managed to sneak my camera lens into the center of an artificial autumn bouquet, and found berries smaller than a 1/4 of an inch. With the right lighting, it looked like I was surrounded by a magical Lilliputian world.

Since last November - our temperatures have been below zero almost every day. When cabin fever sets in and the chores are done - I happily escape into my own little dream world. In this image I was dreaming of rain drops and warm weather.

This seemed like an appropriate image given the fact I’ve been gone from Flickr for so long. I’m trying to catch up with some of the amazing work that’s been posted while I’ve been gone and what a wealth of wonders all of it is!

I do hope that you’re all hale, hearty and in good health….and that you stay that way.

Life along the Yukon River hasn't changed all that much since the Gold Rush Days. Other than the outboard motor seen on the boat in my image - this photo could have been taken a hundred years ago. It's nice to see that change takes place very slowly in the far north.

*(I captured this image looking toward the north/northwest, from the east side of the river near Dawson City. * Note: The first outboard motor was patented in 1880.)

And indeed, what is better than to sit by one's fireside in the evening with a book, while the wind beats against the window and the lamp is burning?

Being of German descent, it has always been a tradition to have birds on our Christmas tree's. It was said that they bring "happiness and joy" to the household.

Over the decades I have held onto the old frazzled birds of my ancestors - and I drag them out each year and place them on our tree's. Who am I to mess with tradition - and possibly miss out on my "happiness and joy".

Almost never captured in images of water reflections are the fleeting moments... a dragonfly, a butterfly ...or more.

The right-side-up reflections image of the water plants was taken at the RBG gardens.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

Being that it's Sliders Sunday, I took the dahlia to Topaz Studio 2 where I added a sketch effect. I hope you enjoy! Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for your visit and comment, it's much appreciated. Have a great day and upcoming week!

This poor old wagon looks quite out of place in our world today - but if only it could talk - I'll bet it would have quite a few tales to tell. Perhaps it was one of the wagons that made the trip from Valdez to Fairbanks in 1905. The cost for the week long trip was $150.00, and was a true test of endurance, for the wagon, as well as the passengers. Now it sits beside the Alaskan Highway - un-noticed by most who travel by.
