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. ;-))]
Dans le Val d'Orcia , le matin , les paysages disparaissent dans la brume ou sous les nuages très bas ....
"If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again."
- Daphne du Maurier

When I spotted a tiny Spider on this Rose, I thought about the little guy’s world and how all things that happen to the rose will in some way affect that little spider.
Hopefully he will move on before a human sprays the rose with chemicals and alters his universe.

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.

"Hey pretty little mockingbird
Keep singing them sad, sad songs"
Taken at Furillen
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
Phantom of the Opera - The Music of the Night

Wenn die Nacht kommt... ...wird die Sehnsucht klarer
Alle Träume sind im Dunklen wahrer
Frei von Ängsten steigen Gefühle aus dem Schweigen
Phantom der Oper - Die Musik der Nacht

"You shall have a fishy on a little dishy
You shall have a fishy when the boat comes in...."

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 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 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 we lived in Washington, one of my favorite places to go was the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, located in Eatonville, Washington. They always had a large assortment of animals, but my favorite was always the raccoon. They were always so photogenic, ready to sit up and pose for a picture!
Hope you enjoy!

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
When I was trying to take a birthday photo of Flori I spotted SQL posing beautifully next to her - HMT & HMBT!
" When this began,
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find that I'm not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I got left to feel (nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own,
And the fault is my own
I want to heal, I want to feel,
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong "

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 !
When one says, "maldives" immediately thinks to this kind of color. The sea is so transparent and so crystalline... What a paradise.
Today's another day with scorching hot temperatures in Mid-September!! So let me offer some welcome refreshment to all of us who are suffering from the heat :)
