Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Hear what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My, oh, my, yea, eh, ee
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Time ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it, if you tried to
This best part is danger staring you in the face
Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my yea, ye, ee
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Yea, yea, yea!

As I walked the short, beautiful trail along the Sturgeon River to Canyon Falls, I came across this gentleman. Like most of us photographers, he is coming to a decision on how he wants to capture the scene . . . usually quite differently than someone capturing a 'selfie' . . .
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫

There were many questions with my last post of the red bellied woodpeckers but this solves the problem everyone had. Such a wonderful pair and delight to photograph !
Wishing everyone a memorable Memorial Day and a Day we give thanks to the men who fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom . We think of their families and friends and pray for them today and always !! Thank you !
There were two of these gorgeous trees in full bloom at Lake St. Clair Metropark. The leaves looked like chestnut trees but the flowers were colored like buckeye tree flowers. Both of those trees have large palmate compound leaves. What were they, I wondered.
Later, I remembered seeing trees like these many years ago in Paris. They lined many of the streets and boulevards of Paris. There were the Horse-chestnuts with whitish flowers, and these pink/red flowers of the Red Horse-chestnut trees.
This picture is of Red Horse-chestnuts, a hybrid of Red Buckeye and Horse-chestnut...mystery solved (again).

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee water skiing is fun........
The young Mute swan has mastered the art of a good touchdown.
Mute Swan
Cygnus olor
The Mute Swan is a very large white waterbird. It has an S-shaped neck and an orange bill with a black base and a black bump. It flies with its neck outstretched, making regular, slow wingbeats. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move long distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England.
Life is a journey, not a problem to be solved.

Dreams can be so much
Some are dreaming of traveling to distance places
Some are dreaming for inheritance and loads of money
Some are dreaming of a different life
Some wants friends
Some wants to get away from people
Some are dreaming of enough food to their family
Some wants to find an easy way to solve their problems
Some are dreaming for lazy summer days
Me, I'm dreaming of a life I know that will come true
But of course you never know what's around the next turn in life
But in the meantime I'm doing my best with what I have
Working our way towards the goal we know would work for us
I'm truly blessed
This is my contribution to SoS this Saturday
Have a joyful weekend 😁

Scientists solve mystery of how the Himalayas were formed:
India has been revealed at the fastest moving continent in history.
More than 140 million years ago, India was part of an immense supercontinent called Gondwana, which covered much of the Southern Hemisphere.
However, around 120 million years ago, what is now India broke off and started slowly migrating north, at about 5 centimeters per year - before a mysterious event about 80 million years ago caused the continent suddenly sped up, racing north at about 15 centimeters per year.

Melotte 15 - IC1805 - Nebulosa Cuore in Hubble palette
IC 1805 (nota anche come Nebulosa Cuore) è una nebulosa diffusa in associazione ad un ammasso aperto, visibile nella costellazione di Cassiopea, verso il confine con la Giraffa.
Si tratta di una regione HII molto estesa, la cui distanza è stimata sui 7500 anni luce da noi; la sua caratteristica principale è la presenza di due grosse aree apparentemente vuote, di diverse dimensioni, che rendono la nebulosa simile ad un "cuore". Al suo interno si trova un sistema di piccoli ammassi aperti poco concentrati, responsabili della ionizzazione della nebulosa. Il più notevole di questi è Melotte 15, che contiene alcune stelle circa 50 volte più massicce del Sole, più altre più piccole ed un microquasar espulso milioni di anni fa.

These little Semipalmated Sandpipers were the predominate shorebird with the White-Rumped Sandpipers in with them. They look similar but are a bit smaller with a shorter black bill but from afar hard to distinguish. These Semipalmated are common migrants through here.

A westbound C&O freight pulls out of the Rock Island's "South Chicago Yard" behind a GP30, U25b, and GP35 power combo, very typical of C&O's trains on the former Pere Marquette lines to and from Michigan. As they do so (and it appears that a brakeman is about to dismount), they cross the N&W (ex-NKP), pass the operator/switchtender shanty and then the C&WI with its complex of "diamonds", gates, and a peculiar light arrangement that must give some information on which route to use..."be governed by instructions provided in the timetable, rule xxxxx" is my guess where that mystery would be solved! Also, I recall the C&O/PM moves seemed to usually be on the tracks farther over, but this could be a road pickup or setout. For the Rock, this yard was reached by a branch off their main, further west, and provided them with much easier connections to eastern railroads. So this could be an interchange of cars between the C&O and the Rock.
