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!

Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
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 ♫
Should the knot of history be solved that way: Christianity with barbarism, and science with unbelief? (F. Schleiermacher, 1829)
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 !
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

Timmy’s biggest problem right now is getting enough cuddles. With this heat, I hardly ever see him except at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and at 9:30 p.m. for dinner. If I’m lucky, like now, he hears me when I go out to the garden in the early evening. He comes out, still half-asleep, and climbs up his ladder. I have to go down two steps on the little staircase to the garden. Then our heads are at the same height, and we can relax and cuddle to our hearts’ content.
Happy Caturday 11.7.2026 "Solving our cat's problems"
Creativity is solving problems that cannot be formulated before they have been solved.
The shaping of the question is part of the answer.

The first picture in a small task I have given myself. Simplisity in expression, in colours, edit and words.
The settings are created by great and wonderful people on SL who opened their sims for us all to have fun. The words will be small grooks made by a Danish mathematic and poet called Piet Hein.

So cold you could freeze the balls off a brass monkey. I bet you think sailor Mike is a potty mouth? Not this time.....
In the past, war ships carried iron cannons, which required cannon balls nearby. The cannon balls were stored in a square pyramid with one ball on top, resting on four, resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. In order to prevent the sixteen balls from rolling away, a metal plate called a monkey with sixteen round indentations was secured near the cannon. As iron rusts quickly, the plate was made of brass. Whilst the rusting problem may have been solved, brass contracts much more and quicker than iron in cold weather. As a consequence, when the temperature was extremely cold, the brass indentations would shrink and the cannon balls would roll off the monkey. The temperature was therefore cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
Wisconsin Northern L2 spots tanks and plastic hoppers next to the faded C&NW station sign in Bloomer, Wisconsin with an ex-Reserve Mining SD38-2 for power.
Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
The other night for my photo of the Ferris Wheel, I mentioned frustrations I was having with getting the IR remote shutter release working. I was determined to fix it or ditch it....and fix it I did. In celebration we had a Mexican dinner down at Redcliffe where I shot this scene of the quite low light on the Jetty across the road. It was only 6.00pm, we got away early. Winter!
Tintin was busy trying to solve the mystery of the giant globe then this giant shell appeared!
I tried various combinations of light and model figures for this but Tintin and Snowy seemed to work best for me. I placed the items on the glass coffee table and used window light from the right and a large mirror for fill light from the left.
This item is one of the strange looking deep space objects, having both emission nebula [the pink regions], and reflection nebula [the blue glowing regions, stars shining off light dust in the foreground]. The dark/ blackish regions are mountain loads of dust and dirt, just floating out the like clouds in the sky.
Thanks for dropping by. 😀

Yeah. I've gotten a bit creative with my titles recently, if you haven't noticed. Anyways, I've come to quite a.... problem. A difficult obstacle that I haven't solved yet. Its.... hard to think about this problem. I've been pondering about it, over and over.... yet I don't know. I'm surprised I was even able to take any photography today, because it was quite difficult to think.
But, this photo is SOOC. So, yeah, enjoy.

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.
