This squirrel was so intent on his meal of acorns that he didn't seem to mind me crouching down beside him and snapping away!
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's Chinese Lantern shot. They are very much appreciated.
The winter is not going to last forever... Ice slowly moves away... But it's still cold and windy outside. I hardly look out for something poetic in winter for so long.
The view reminded me the song, that I love:
It's getting cold outside! Here's a warm thought! What are your favorite beaches? This one is near Grand Haven, Michigan; and it is probably my favorite, or second to Ludington, Michigan's extensive beaches!
Taipei 101 has been my major theme of shooting since I brought my DSLR. The reason is because it is our local landmark and I can shoot it from many angles during each season. This shooting spot is one of the best during winter.
我真的還蠻專心在拍101的，因為這是我們台北的地標，也是我可以一年四季常常去拍的題材，在各個季節，從不同的角度。像成功橋，就是冬季最佳攝點之一。

I thank you for the comments and faves, Have a wonderful day!
The Peterborough Lift Lock National Historic Site of Canada is located on the Otonabee River section of the Trent Canal in the City of Peterborough, Ontario. It is a large concrete structure along the Trent-Severn Waterway designed to lift boats 19.8 metres. The lock operates on a balance system, whereby water is let into the upper chamber, a connecting valve is opened and the heavier chamber Peterborough is known as the gateway to the Kawarthas, "cottage country", a large recreational region of the province. It is named in honour of Peter Robinson, an early Canadian politician who oversaw the first major immigration to the area. The city is the seat of Peterborough County.
Amazing and stunning. What an experience to stand watching and listening to the roar of Niagara Falls in Niagara Canada. An experience of a lifetime. #Niagara #NiagaraFalls
Here is another Palouse shot taken a few weeks ago with this group. little m, Justin Reznick, Ryan McGinty, & Jason.

As part of their hunting strategy, this lioness's job was to keep an eye on the warthog which was being stalked by the other lioness from the opposite direction.
Grass-topped dyke, located east of the Oranje dyke mill. Former entrance to Slijk harbour, codenamed Uncle Beach by the Allied forces during the landing at Vlissingen.
The first British troops to land on Walcheren did so on the fortified seafront at Vlissingen. Less heavily defended beaches outside the town and east of the harbor were rejected, the ground being flooded and the wrong side of the Walcheren Canal. The landing site, codenamed Uncle Beach by the Allied forces, was south-east of the town centre, near the Oranje dyke mill, in the Eastern or Dock harbour.
Around the Oranjemolen the town of Vlissingen is planning to realize a World War II memorial site. At this site information will be provided about Vlissingen and the Walcheren region during World War II, the Battle of the Scheldt and the consequences of World War II for the civilian population.
This is a Northern view of Mono Lake from my recent trip. The tufas make for a great foreground when shooting here. My friend and I stayed until after the sun went down and it turned dark. We now had dilemma on our hands. We didn't get a campsite before we started shooting pictures and now we needed a place to sleep.
I vetoed trying to find a campsite in the dark; so we drove to Bishop to try to find a room for the night. Well, we soon discovered that the Tri County Fair was going on Labor Day weekend and all the rooms were booked. We had a room reserved at the local hostel for the next night and asked if there might be a chance that they put us up for Friday night. They were also completely booked, but they said we could sleep outside on the ground if we had sleeping bags. Well we did and took them up on the offer. We ended up sleeping on the patio on our air mattresses and were glad about it. The next day we were up at the crack of dawn and off on the next adventure.
I am so glad I got up early to take some pictures of the Taj Mahal. 4:30am was not so appealing when you go to bed around 1am. I had to drag myself out of bed, walk outside in the cold night air and then ride a motorized rickshaw 45 minutes on some bumpy roads across the river to get this view. It was truly a magical moment not to be missed if you visit this place.
I found myself surrounded by the wonderful smell of Lavender at the weekend whilst visiting Somerset Lavender in Faulkland, a lovely place to visit for a Cream Tea and to enjoy the wonderful Flora at the Farm which is known as Horsepond.
Another place and photograph off the bucket list, not to say I wont return for a better shot though! :)

Safron toucanet (Araçari-Banana). For me they are the most beautiful toucanets from the Atlantic Rain Forest. It's a pity but due to lost of their natural environment it's a near threatened species.
HBW!

L'Uomo del Mondeval.
Lo scheletro del cacciatore mesolitico
L'importanza di Mondeval è legata ad un sito archeologico preistorico. Si tratta di una scoperta eccezionale: è la sepoltura di un cacciatore di epoca mesolitica, perfettamente conservato col suo corredo funerario.
Il sito archeologico fu rinvenuto nel 1985, sotto un masso erratico di dolomia, da Vittorino Cazzetta da Pescul di Selva di Cadore, un appassionato della sua terra sia dal punto di vista geologico che storico. Cazzetta aveva notato alcuni reperti, in particolare manufatti litici e resti di pasto, nel terriccio accumulato da una marmotta impegnata nello scavo della propria tana. Gli scavi sono avvenuti sotto la direzione del prof. Antonio Guerreschi, docente di Paletnologia dell'Università di Ferrara, interessato a condurre delle indagini approfondite su quel sito; dal 1986 al 2000, il docente ha portato a termine quindici campagne di scavo e con l'aiuto di studiosi e di studenti ha trovato importantissime testimonianze sulla frequentazione umana risalenti ad oltre 80 secoli fa
Il ritrovamento più rilevante del sito di Mondeval è stato la sepoltura del cacciatore preistorico che costituisce per diversi motivi una scoperta importantissima, essendo, ad oggi, l'unica sepoltura mesolitica situata ad alta quota (2.150 m circa). Inoltre, è da ricordare la straordinaria conservazione del corredo funerario collocato attorno allo scheletro, con reperti organici (in particolare resti di pasto e resine con propoli) che hanno ampliato notevolmente le conoscenze paleontologiche.
Oggi lo scheletro del cacciatore del mesolitico è conservato nel nuovo museo di Selva di Cadore, mentre a San Vito di Cadore si può ammirare un calco identico all'originale, messo a disposizione dal prof. Guerreschi per la mostra sulle testimonianze lasciate dall'archeologia in territorio sanvitese.
Along the Prairie Ridge is the Ebey home and blockhouse. Looking at the map, other homes in the area appear to have built blockhouses as well.

Just outside the southernmost city of the world I felt like I was on the edge of the world in this expansive glacial valley in Tierre del Fuego.
