But a Christmas Eve snow

A day early this year...

___________

 

Even though we remain hovering right at the freezing point, early this morning big, fluffy, and wet snowflakes began to fall, continuing even now and providing a beautiful, fresh white accent to the landscape...the northwoods' annual celebration of the season. This shot, as with so many others over the years, taken from my deck.

 

[This is also the time of year at which I get confused as to whom I've wished Season's Greetings and to whom I have not. Forgive me if I repeat myself and, in the spirit of the holidays, be patient with an old man, accepting good wishes however often they may be repeated. It's the thought, not the memory, that counts. ;-))]

As we aproached the lake, I heard some fellow hikers exclaim "It looks like they use food colouring here!" I thought: photo-op. I don't use any of the 'magical' settings on my camera, but this time I didn't have my glasses on. When I got back home and looked at the pic on my computer I thought "What the heck!" I must have inadvertantly moved the dial. Even though I almost deleted it, after a while this funky image kind of grew on me. Next time though, I will have my glasses on.

From my archives - road trip to Eastern Washington and the Palouse.

Am I getting fed again?

 

These frantic great egrets chicks had two speeds - full speed and asleep.

When the sun jumped out, wrapping with the mist, you were not only listening to the sound of the falls roaring, also breathing the moisture in the air and feeling the sun kissing the skin…

...longing becomes clearer

All dreams are truer in the dark

Free from fears, feelings rise from the silence

On the banks of the Main in Frankfurt with a view of the illuminated skyline from a total of 30 images

 

Wenn die Nacht kommt... ...wird die Sehnsucht klarer

Alle Träume sind im Dunklen wahrer

Frei von Ängsten steigen Gefühle aus dem Schweigen

When hiking through marshes, I've often been asked if I knew the identity of this bird. It's a very common bird in Michigan marshes. She is the female Red-winged Blackbird (Red Wing), so different from her jet-black mate with his red and yellow "epaulets" on his wings (shown in first comment below).

 

In this picture, she is puffed up on a chilly day at Lake St. Clair Metropark. The dry stems of the reeds look richly-colored in the golden light.

When I photographed the little chicks I was very lucky that one parent just came back with food. An unplanned scene that made me very happy.

When you get off a ferry in Greater Sydney look around for water abstracts worth a second look.

and the old ways fade away

There'll be no more sun

and we'll wish that we had held on to the day

I took this photo for the Happy Caturday theme "Sleepy Cats". Getting a photo for this theme wasn't as easy as it seems. Yes, cats sleep a lot, but they are suddenly wide awake if you point a camera at them. :)

Happy Caturday !

It's amazing how you

Can speak right to my heart

Without saying a word

You can light up the dark

 

Try as I may, I could never explain

What I hear when you don't say a thing

 

The smile on your face

Lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

 

All day long I can hear

People talking out loud (oooh)

But when you hold me near (you hold me near)

You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd)

 

Try as they may, they can never define

What's been said between your heart and mine

 

The smile on your face

Lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all

 

The smile on your face

Lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all

 

(You say it best when you say nothing at all

You say it best when you say nothing at all)

 

That smile on your face

The truth in your eyes

The touch of your hand

Lets me know that you need me

 

(You say it best when you say nothing At all

You say it best when you say nothing at all)

  

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me

Where tripod was forbidden, I have to dig deeper to the last bit of this thing called ingenuity. I hated them for the 60 USD (5800 yen) toll and having my tripod deposited in a safety depo box.

Will the seven dwarfs take this photo to Explore? Hahaha. Guess not.

 

When you think of the Netherlands, it is easy to picture never-ending fields of brightly coloured flowers. Many of the country’s most famous artists have portrayed the flower fields of the Netherlands in their work, and these fields are just as spectacular when they are seen in real life. However, these flower fields are more than just aesthetically beautiful: they are also economically important to the country. A significant proportion of the country’s agricultural exports are derived from the sale of freshly cut flowers, bulbs and mature plants, and the Netherlands contributions to the flower industry are so significant that they make up around two-thirds of the world’s total flora sales and completely dominate the European marketplace. Thanks to highly efficient supply chains, it is actually possible to buy flowers in New York which were freshly cut in the Netherlands that morning!

When they arrive in the harbour the fishermen have already sorted all the fish and placed them in separate trays supplied by the fish auction.
