Created for The Award Tree's Winter Treatment challenge.
My sister lives in rural Michigan where she and her husband have a beautiful house on lots of land with a good-sized, man-made pond in the backyard. Deer come down to the pond for the salt lick, to graze and to drink. It's also a safe haven for them during hunting season since Judy & Peter don't allow hunting on their property. Still, I cringe every time I hear a rifle shot when I visit at that time of year.
In the summer, they're harder to see since there's no white snow to set them off. But there's no missing them when they come to the near side of the pond and start munching on the flowers in my sister's garden. At that point, Judy lets the dog out (a lab) and the deer take off in a flash :-).
Thanks to my sister for sending me the original photo! She took it from inside the house looking out over the upper level deck (see below).

Well, it's red at least and quite warm. Hope you're all warm where you are. I have to say, it's a challenge keeping warm here with the heating off. It's ridiculous how expensive EVERYTHING is now, and I live in a country producing ALL and more of it's energy in renewables (Scotland). It's at times like this, sitting here without heating, wrapped in many layers that my desire for an independent Scotland grows. Everything done by the UK in the last 12 years has been an unmitigated disaster. Anyway, enjoy the legs, you'll probably not see them until the spring!
Ricevere un testimonial da cris è un grande onore! E’ bravissima ed attivissima, se non ci credete andate a visitare il suo stream e curiosando non dimenticatevi di guardare con attenzione le foto della mostra che ha fatto recentemente (un esempio? eccolo) … strepitose sia nella realizzazione che nell’idea!

A testimonial from cris is a big honor for me! She is very skilled and so active, if you don’t believe me please go and visit her stream and do not forget to give a look at her recent personal exhibition (a photography as an example? here) … great both in production and concept!
I don't know if you heard, but, Madge, a lovely flickr member and wonderful photographer passed away this past December. I was heartbroken to hear the news. She was always a bright light in the flickr world and her zest for arranging, capturing and sharing the beautiful things in and around her home was always inspiring. She was a master of still life and delightful puns and I will miss her dearly. If you know Madge, I am sure you felt the same and, if you didn't, head on over to her stream now www.flickr.com/photos/mytimeflickrcom/ . it is pure delight.
Thank you so much Kimberly Chorney for my very first testimonial!
Everyday I look forward to seeing what is new on your photostream and you always inspire me with your creativeness! Here is a link to view her beautiful stream for those who have not seen her work yet=0) www.flickr.com/photos/39474827@N02/
Thanks again Kimberly for being such a great Flickr friend and for the testimonial, it means a great deal to me!!!! This photo was inspired by you!=0)
to live content with small means
to seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fashion
to be wealthy not rich
to listen to stars and birds
babes and sages with open heart
to study hard
to think quietly
act frankly
talk gently
await occasions, hurry never
in a word to let the spiritual unbidden
and unconscious
grow up through the common
this is my symphony
- william henry channing
I've been yearning for simple. I'm paying extra attention to the beauty in the every day. These flowers sit on my kitchen sink tonight. They're a gift from Ivy. The image is a gift for my Mama.

thankyou Heather for sharing the beautiful words.

Within conversations i have with others; this, above all else, is one of the questions
i despise the most. Not that i would be ashamed to answer it, but it's just too much to ask. Regardless it's true purpose, regardless the great amount of contradictions, it involves. i don't like that... and yet, this could be an answer.

Mixed feelings when I see pups for sale in the street, good they aren't roaming the streets and will probably find a home. Bad to me is the breeding for profit by breeders, who only care about producing puppies that look fit enough to sell. Bacolod City, Philippines.
work for my college course, the pigeons where lucky that they flew over at the same time.

UP 8854 is holding on the main at the west end of Rocky. Why is it holding on the main? Because it will be meeting an eastbound oil train that is currently above it, on the main at Eisele (Clay). Usually, the first train to arrive for a meet would take the siding, but in this case, the eastbound will hold the siding at Rocky for the westbound Zephyr. The flag on UP 8854 has definitely seen better days.

Nothing, just a fun shot... lol
It was a souvenir mug given by her.
Honestly, I don't like it because i don't like her !!!
Why I'm using it?
Well, I'm on diet and using it means losing my appetite.
I feel so bored and lazy right now.
Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!

Barbara's wonderful group has been hibernating for a couple of weeks but she's invited me to take it on for a while. It is, in my opinion, the best, high quality colour group in FlickrLand so I'd better not screw it up :-) Excellent images with great use of colour and super composition - that's the aim.
The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures. (Frenand Leger)

One of several attempts shooting with a jeweller's eye-piece as a lens. I'm sure there were more productive ways of spending an afternoon but I was curious and got interested ... one for Dee.
I recently met, via Flickr, a wonderful woman from Australia that some of you already know. Her name is Bec :-) and yesterday she introduced an exceptional painting by her son, Micah. Micah is a six year old boy with profound autism. Micah's Masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece whether you regard the work as that from a boy with autism, from a six year old or simply from a human being.
Her post yesterday reminded me of a passage in a book I read recently titled The Reason I Jump by author Naoki Higashida. Naoki has high functioning autism. The book offers insight into a bewildering and perplexing condition. I have been waiting for the right moment to post this and Micah’s delightful work reminded me of Naoki’s exceptional work.
The following is an excerpt from his book:
Q45: Why do you enjoy going out for walks so much?
My guess is that lots of people with autism like walking, and I wonder if you can work out why. “Because walking makes you feel good?” “Because it’s great being out in the open air?” Both these replies are true, of course, but for me the number one reason is that us people with autism love the greenness of nature. Now you might be thinking, “Oh, is that all?” However, our fondness for nature is, I think, a little bit different from everyone else’s. I’m guessing that what touches you in nature is the beauty of the trees and the flowers and things. But to us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature, we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bodies get recharged. However often we’re ignored and pushed away by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts.
The greenness of nature is the lives of plants and trees. Green is life. And that’s the reason we love to go out for walks.
Sorry for low activity, but I had to go to the sea yesterday. It is so hot in my apartment. I do everything I can to keep the sun and hot air outside, but I have 29 c indoors!!!!!!! :( Outside it is still 30-33 C.
I got a good advice from one of my friends on Flickr to have wet clothes on my body, and plastic on the floor .
Oh what I laughed when I read these tips. I saw in front of me a crazy old lady, with wet dresses, dropping water and leaving a wet mark on the floors where ever she walked.
But I took it a bit easier, have damp, non-dripping towels over my feet when sitting at the computer and a similar towel around the shoulders. This keeps me pretty cool.
Have a nice Friday!!

Not done this for a while. trying a dress on in store.
a couple of reasons for this. one, we don't have that many high street stores anymore
two, the ones we do have don't have much I like in them and three all the fuss around wo.en only spaces has taken the shine of a pleasant experience. due to never knowing when someone will kick off.
and bri gs me nicely to thos experience.
I walks into the changing room to be confronted with a massive .. "behave girls it's not what you think" a massive room with cubicles around the outside and big searing area in the centre with a very big mirror.
Well I go and get changed and hear someone else come in.
I take no notice other than to realise she has a friend with her.
anyway I decide I want to flaunt myself infront of the big mirror and so left my cubicle to go an use the mirror. as I look to my right I see a guy sitting down giving his partner advice on her outfit.
so what went through my head was. so much for women only safe spaces and in all truth it didn't matter that he was sat there because we all had our own changing area.
Apologies for another extended absence. Busy, busy.
I don't do many portraits, really; just helping out Chloe who was up against a yearbook deadline. Charlie came along to 'assist' and provide comic relief. His hour-long stand-up routine won me a bunch of genuine smiles.
Nikkor 135mm F2 DC: This got a little dreamy with the defocus control out of alignment by a few stops. Was that on purpose? Sure okay.
Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...
For a year of terrific fun, beauty, inspiration and friendship.
I hope you and your family are all in good health in these difficult times,
You have all been great and you have cheered me up tremendously! LOVE YOU.
(I hope my effort in creating a heart shape is somehow recognisable :-)
