From a shot in the central Hall of Narodna Galerija, Ljubljana

D'après une prise faite dans le Hall central de la Galerie Nationale, à Ljubljana.

Last Sunday, Feb. 14, 2016, Valentine's Day, lovers and couples celebrated together "the day of love". But what is important is that who loves each other has no specific day scheduled to love.

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

Why not a surreal sunrise, a freakishly large moon... and an egret?... just playing with ideas.

To illustrate the effect of the current ice storm passing (for the past 3 days) through Southern Ontario, Canada, I decided to put together a collage of 4 images taken in my garden.

I'd much rather see white spring blossoms than the white snow that's falling right now. Ah well, I won't have to wait but for another month or so. If you have an overabundance of patience, please send me some! )O::

These flowers were photographed last year and then lightly edited in Topaz Studio 2 with an impressionism filter for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. Have a great day!

Doc has our whole cabin decorated for Christmas, most of our shopping is done, and all that is left is the wrapping. We should be able to enjoy many peaceful days this holiday season.

This cabin sits along the shoreline of a tiny lake, not too many miles from our own cabin. If only it could talk and tell me how it came to be built so many decades ago, and by whom. I'm sure that every remote dwelling has a unique story.

I see snow machine tracks mingled with animal tracks in the snow surrounding the cabin. Snowshoe hares always take refuge under a cabin during the winter, and you can clearly see their paths. While inside - I am sure the squirrels and shrews have made cozy little nests for themselves.

We have a flock of 50 Lapland Longspurs beside our cabin, enjoying the seed that has fallen beneath our hanging feeders. They will rest and fatten up here, before heading to their birthing grounds farther north on the tundra.

The huge spring migration is taking place now, and the sky is filled with birds of all kinds. With warming temperatures and brilliant sunshine - Alaska is a paradise for bird loving photographers.

After having had a thick layer of frozen rain topped by a layer of snow, everything became beautifully frosted, but it was sure cold out there! HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment, I love hearing from you! Have a great day!

It's snowing right now, so I felt inspired to enhance the whiteness of the white allium. To that end, I applied a chalk pastel effect and vignette in Topaz Studio 2. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you so much for your visits and comments, I really appreciate them. Have a wonderful day!

The image of the building was taken on the grounds of "Dundurn Castle" in Hamilton, Canada.

The field and the tree are one image separated and re-defined for this composition.

A passing rain cloud on an otherwise sunny day dotted the landscape with glittering gems such as this leaf; although slightly out of focus on the top right, this angle exposed the best of colours in the rain drops. Predictably, through contrast, by eliminating the clutter around it and opting for black further increased the effect.

This plant grows abundantly around our cabin and undergoes many alterations from early spring until late in the fall. In this photo the leaves have yet to unfold - and yes, it is still snowing up here. HSS! Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead.

Doc doesn't need a gym membership to get a "workout" - he just needs to put on about six pounds of outerwear and get behind his snowblower. Every day, another six inches of snow slowly sifts over our landscape and needs to be removed. There is no way that we can wade through it - and swimming doesn't work either. LOL

Hoar frost in my backyard is made beautiful by the rising sun, and a little enhancement from Topaz Studio. HSS!

I found this old bridge sitting along the edge of a road that is seldom traveled. I must confess that I find the old much more appealing than the new.
