When I posted a photo of these unusual amaryllis (Hippeastrum cybister) in January, I commented that I have had little luck in getting amaryllis to re-bIoom. I put them in the side yard and forgot about them until July, when I discovered new buds! They now grace my patio at Lake Tahoe.
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.

Found this Colander in a kitchen cabinet and thought I would try to fill it with Happiness. Being as creative as a bag of rocks, this was the best I could do… it did bring a smile : )
Make it a Great Day !!

When taking this photo the weather was really strange, it rained, snowed and then the sun would come out, you could feel the temperature fluctuating, made for a nice autumn/fall photo.
When You Have It Enjoy It to The Fullest.

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…

When is nesting season and where do geese typically nest? Nesting season begins early March and can continue through late May. Nesting spots can be next to a pond or a half mile away. Geese typically like to nest where approaching predators can be easily spotted.

When your heart beats so fast just too late. You
wonder if she's awake. You wonder if she felt the same ..
P.S. It reminds me of someone's style ..
when the talk was over there was a bit of a chase until both birds settled on trees a good distance from each other

When the geese were on the move in late October I picked this location in the hope I could capture a group rising off the lake in the morning light.
Thanks to all for looking and commenting.
When I got to the lake it was bitterly cold. But then the sun came. The landscape shone and I felt the warmth of the rays on my cheeks.
Besides me there were two other photographers at the lake. One filmed himself at work - the other had a huge telephoto mounted and was possibly looking for birds. We didn't speak - but I'd love to see their pictures.

When I first moved here, there were Phoebes that nested in the eaves of a small shed. This little one flew to the nearest perch he could find upon leaving the security of the nest - nearby chairs on the deck.
With my long lens, I was able to keep this moment undisturbed by my presence.
"When darkness falls
and surrounds you,
when you fall down,
when you're scared
and you're lost, be brave.
I'm coming to hold you now.
When all your strength has gone
and you feel wrong
like your life has slipped away,
follow me.
You can follow me
and I, I will not desert you now.
When your fire's died out,
no one's there,
they have left you for dead,
follow me,
you can follow me.
I will keep you safe.
Follow me,
you can follow me.
I will protect you.
Oh, I won't let them hurt.
hurting you, no,
oh yeah.
When your heart is breaking,
you can follow me,
you can follow me.
I will always keep you safe.
Follow me,
you can trust in me.
I will always protect you, my love.
Oh, feel my love...
Oh, feel my love...
Oh..."

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.
“"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.”
