Took a ride south yesterday and visited here for abit. Not the ice like last winter. It was like 18* and the wind was RAW off Lake MI.

View toward Lake Como: the "point break" where the lake, near the town of Bellagio, splits in two branches, one that goes toward the town of Lecco, and the other toward the town of Como.
The cross in the photo has been broken down a few weeks ago.

Over Christmas we visited relatives on Anglesey. Early one morning I got up and went to this wonderful location to take a few photographs and take in this magnificent view, it was freezing but well worth it!!

SCOUT: "Daddy? Daddy!"
DADDY: "Yes Scout?"
SCOUT: "Daddy, I want everyone to see the beautiful Little Red Riding Hood that I received as a Christmas gift from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear this year!" *Preens.* "I look soooo pretty in it! Can you put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday? Please!"
DADDY: "But Scout, the theme for this week is red bows."
SCOUT: "Well, my new Little Red Riding Hood ties with a bow under my chin!" *Nods emphatically.* "See?" *Points to bow with paw.*
DADDY: "Hhhmmm... well, that is true, Scout, it does." *Doubtful.* "However, it's very small! The bow needs to be more of a focal point for the photograph."
SCOUT: "Oh I can fix that, Daddy!" *Smiles.* "Wait there!" *Rushes away before coming back with a big red bow tied under his chin.* "Now can you put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday, please Daddy?"
DADDY: "Goodness! Where did that ribbon come from?"
SCOUT: "It was one of the ones you collected from Christmas Day, yesterday. I think I look pretty!" *Preens more.* "Now, can you PLEASE put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday, Daddy, so that everyone can admire me?"
DADDY: "Alright Scout."
SCOUT: "Oh thank you, Daddy!" *Preens even more.* "I knew you would see it my way... eventually."
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 26th of December is "red bow". My little bear Scout received this beautifully made Little Red Riding Hood cape from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear for Christmas this year, and whilst Scout is correct, it does tie with a bow, the bow was very small, so being a master of dress-ups, Scout embellished his new cape with a lovely big red bow! I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Along the rocky edge there at this location along the Grand Staircase level looking out over the snaking San Juan River and Monument Valley beyond.
We love the Sunshine Coast as it has long stretches of beautiful beaches. That bulk carrier offshore was waiting for the pilot to guide it into the Port of Brisbane, while the lifeguards were completing their afternoon training session in the surf, and we were waiting till it was time to go to our seafood restaurant for the evening.
Looking at one of the two points from the fractured lava flow on the other point at Iona's Beach Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) on Lake Superior, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
Once upon a time, this place was once the site of a charming mom & pop resort called Twin Points Resort. Iona Lind, her husband John and their children ran the resort for over 50 years. Iona kept on for a short time after her husband passed away in the 1980's.
When Iona died, she donated the land and it ended up in the hands of Minnesota's DNR.
Iona's Beach SNA is about halfway between Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse State Parks on Minnesota's legendary, historic Highway 61.
This was probably taken a year ago. It is an american gated community on Canadian soil. Go figure. You must get permission at the gate to go to the lighthouse on foot or bike. I have been wanting for years to see this. It is fabulous. You can see Buffalo from this spot, albeit not in this image.
Take care my friendly Flickeroos.
We went to check out the old wreck at Crow Point and it looks a lot more battered than when I visited a year or so ago. It seems to have partially collapsed which is a shame. The dusk light was very good though as this shot was taken about 30 minutes before sunset.
