Never really scared to show you what I feel inside
Everything laid out on the table, baby, you and I
I find myself living it up, making this dream come true
Everything I see in my head is all because of you, you
Because I can't drive, I'm always on foot in Diano Marina on the Italian Riviera. Recently, I was looking for worthwhile motifs on my way home. This combination of nature and technology appeals to me.
The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.

I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....
....first there was darkness till i created the night, first there was darkness and darkness was right. darkness is moving into the light...

Both of these duckies were gifts from my SIL who knows how much I love macros and duckies— perfect, right? The tiny ducky fits on a dime— there’s a size verification shot and a set-up shot for this posting in my photostream.

Swallowing a meal for the great egret (Ardea alba) involves flicking its food into the air followed by a gulp.
The two egret images are taken in the same location (a small pond at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge) but on different days. It is possible it is the same bird, but not guaranteed because we have seen as many as 8 great egrets at once in this location.
I went with two images because they tell different parts of the same story. I think I like the "kerplunk" one better because of the fat water droplets frozen in time and the mirror like reflection, but I also do like the action shot "bottoms up". Let me know if you have an opinion!
I don’t need it because I have content :-)

I like this image so much because of the beautiful gradient of the sky and the great color of the lights...but it was ruined by the bright lights brought by that Halogen Lamps on the roof.. any tips on how to improve this kind of thing?
Because I needed something blue in my photo stream. No, really.

Sethi isn't happy when Tofu follows him everywhere, especially if he is tired because he was active during the night and Tofu just wants to play. He shows his feelings clearly but Tofu doesn't give up easily. :)

Just because it's Halloween and make you smile !
I change the small photo and instead of my beloved Puffins I put a photo of me and another one of an Arctic Tern. Both apparently have nothing to do with each other. Except that it is ! On my face the blood is real blood, most had been wiped off by the friend who took the photo. This one was taken on the Isle of May in July 2019. You should know that these Terns nest along the footpath that starts at the pier. These birds, to protect their nests, attack with their beaks the top of the visitor's heads who pass in the path.
They first target the tallest people in a group. This is the reason why it is recommended to wear a hat. For my Scottish and English Flickr's friends who know these Isles (not only on the May), I precise that I did wear a hat. It was my third visit to the Isle of May and since the first time I wore a hat !
It was time to join the boat to return to Anstruther but I noticed two or three visitors behind me so I told to myself I had enough time for a few more shots. Being alone in front of this bird I was the tallest and the other Terns had a great time on my head. As the head was busy, one of them attacked me UNDER the hat !! So, if I have an advice : next time go with a full face helmet 😉
For my readers from the U.K. please let me know if I wrote something wrong 😊

Juste parce que c'est Halloween et pour vous faire sourire !
J'ai changé la photo du médaillon et, a la place de mes Macareux moine bien aimés, j'ai mis une photo de moi et une photo de Sterne Arctique dans mes images. Apparemment, ces deux photos n'ont rien a voir ensemble. Sauf que si ! Sur mon visage, c'est du vrai sang, la plus grande partie qui recouvrait ma joue ayant été essuyée par l'amie qui a pris la photo. Celle-çi a été prise sur l'Ile de May, en juillet 2019. Ces Sternes nichent en bordure du sentier piéton qui part de l'embarcadère. Ces oiseaux, pour protéger leur nids, piquent le sommet des têtes des visiteurs. Ces Sternes visent en premier les personnes les plus grandes du groupe. C'est la raison pour laquelle il est fortement recommandé de porter un couvre-chef. Pour mes amis Flickr Ecossais et Anglais qui connaisent ces iles (pas seulement sur l'Ile de May d'ailleurs), je précise que je portais un chapeau. C'était ma troisième visite sur cette île et depuis la première fois j'ai toujours porté un chapeau !
Le moment était venu de rejoindre le bateau mais comme j'avais remarqué deux ou trois personnes qui traînaient derrière moi, je me suis dit que j'avais suffisamment de temps pour quelques photos supplémentaires. Etant seule devant cet oiseau, je me suis retrouvée être la plus grande et les autres Sternes s'en sont donné à coeur joie sur ma tête ! Comme cette dernière était occupée, l'une d'elles m'a piqué SOUS mon chapeau ! Aussi, si j'ai un conseil : la prochaine fois, y aller avec un casque intégral 😉
Because this statue is at ground level it was often getting damaged so they put up a road sign to make people aware of it.
I was yesterday very happy, because we had nice patches of mist. Because near by the coast it's rare.
You do me a big pleasure when you click to ENLARGE. It’s also more pleasure for you. (i hope so)

Thank you in advance for your interest and comments on my photos. That ‘s much appreciated.
because of technical web problems. No web... DSL ... etc... no net at home.
I will be here for some pictures but I can't see all your beautiful pictures... I will need a technician at home it seems and I know that this will take time...
I have some bad experiences...
Well.. I wanted a time more 'off'
Now I have it by other circumstances.
See you 😘 and take care of you...
because of summer engineering works between Rygge and Moss on the Østfold Line in Norway, freight trains to and from Halden and Sarpsborg had to be rerouted via Sweden (charlottenberg - Kil - Brålanda - Kornsjø). Amongst the trains rerouted are the wood train Hønefoss - Halden of Grenland Rail. El.15./161.106 with empty wood train Halden - Hønefoss close to the Norwegian/Swedish border at Kornsjø.

Because the city is built on rock, they were unable to build a subway system. Instead, they created this magnificent cable car system that unites the entire city that's both fast and efficient.

Definitely one of my favorite birds, not only because it is incredibly cute and very friendly, but also because it is a very caring and loving bird.
From the paridae family, (same as the chickadee) they have a very peculiar way of taking care of their young, usually with the help of one of their offsprings from the previous year. How do they decide who stays behind to help is simply fascinating to me!
If you want to know more about this bird, this site has very interesting facts:

And the look, it is the look of love for peanuts and sunflower seeds!
If you don’t know your cardinal from your titmouse, just remember this sound: " Peter, peter peter", and that will be your titmouse ;)

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!
