Freshly emerged second brood male in Whistley Wood (Northants, UK) (5704)

Ein unscheinbarer Nebeneingang eines Hamburger Kontorhauses zeigte mir heute diese kleine Perle. Recht hübsch wie ich finde! Von unten in die Höhe fotografiert. Mehr dazu im neuen Jahr, denn oben war ich natürlich auch.

An inconspicuous side entrance of a Hamburg office building showed me this little pearl today. Quite pretty I think! Photographed high up from below. More on that in the New Year, because of course I was up there too.

You can see all the crispness and details on those wings,

you always can tell when a new one comes out of its Chrysalis,

I was pleasantly surprised that the Hooded Merganser was more interested in his bath than in me, so I was able to get quite close.

This lake seems to freeze easily and quickly. Too early to walk on it though.

Taken at the end of January, strangely enough during a warm spell. We were surprised to find it like this.

they just fell off the tree...I love how they still have the curly things.....

Another one from our holiday in the Lakes, but this time it's flowers, not a landscape! Spotted these lovely Welsh poppies and wild garlic (ramsen) flowers in a hedgerow just after a shower of rain and couldn't resist them. I hope you like them too!

Processed in PicMonkey and Topaz, with enormous thanks to you, Terry Pellmar for your lovely texture.

Many thanks as always for your wonderful support, faves and comments, should you enjoy my photograph. I hope you all have a lovely weekend !

There was another light snowfall last night and into this morning. Its very pretty but I'm growing weary of the intense cold. I've enjoyed it but its time for it to go so we can have a wet Christmas :)
