Thanks for all your visits and comments!

A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.

I took this photo while visiting Monique in Alberta...it only snowed for a very short time and didn't stay...but so pretty.

Taken this morning just as the sun rose and lit up this opening hibiscus flower.

🎶 BILLIE MARTEN - WINTER SONG

  

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My voice, a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

 

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love

 

They say that things just cannot grow

Beneath the winter snow

Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

 

Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love

 

The peony tree started to open up today.

First time using photo merger from 10 vertical shots. Accepting recommendations to make the process easier. It took me forever working from raw files, which generated a huge file.

wondering, why EXIF shows only 220 mm, when I had fully open 600 ? ...

In the distant past, while Summer was pleasant, this would not be a sight that I liked seeing in mid-August.

 

Tropical Storm Henri Warning is in effect for us! 😂

 

Happy Day to you!!

Early morning when I went for a walk ( exercise ) around the Hamilton Lake I spotted this guy trying to catch a fish....!

 

Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

Here they are again, the garden Crocuses.

Die ersten Tulpenträume...

After a clear night dawn painted the scene in golden red

rue de la Commune, Old Montreal.

 

I took this picture while I was in a caleche (for the first time and maybe last time of my life. See other picture for explanation about the caleches).

It was so exciting to see and photograph the Northern Lights for the first time. These weren't as strong as others that I saw later on our trip but they were absolutely mesmerizing to watch. I think I got better photos later when the lights were stronger but I am pleased with my first attempts. So many stars in the northern sky. Taken in Nunavut, Canada.

 

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

It's been over a year since frost first appeared.

 

This is one of the pictures I took on the first day I used my new camera. At dawn, I went to a lake to see sunrise. Steam was coming off of the surface of the lake. Frost formed across the field surrounding the lake. Then I went to a nature park for hiking. The frost didn't melt for a while. In this picture, you see yellow foliage, a metal fence, and a frosty lawn in the background. My fingers and feet were numb with cold. I couldn't help going ahead because the frosty sight was beautiful under sunshine.

 

P.S., This picture was taken on the second weekend of October instead of November. I had my camera mistakenly set the date for a month during the first few weeks of use.

It's 07:10 AM, not too early though...

A muggy morning in the summer of 2013 finds 23 cars worth of Q339 being pulled out of the east siding at South Deshler with CSXT 8098 providing all the necessary muscle. I offer this as a submission for "Forty Friday" for more than just the obvious reason. The 8098 was built in 1980, making 2020 its 40th birthday. However, I can't find any photos of it more recent than 2016, so I have to assume its rotting in a deadline somewhere, or worse...

First autumn snow in the Swiss mountains at 2000 mtrs.

One I took about a year ago and re-editted

There is life in the garden and ice on puddles all day.

Hi there,

 

Best viewed in Large for details

 

This bee was a quick flier and was equally speedy at divebombing into the wild thistle. If you zoom in, you'll notice it has a large amount of pollen on the underside of its body.

 

Thank you for taking the time to look and to leave me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

 

Have a wonderful day!

The first light of moring on Ullswater, the Lake District, Cumbria UK

On the higher mountains the first snow has fallen, but here around this meander of river the last colors of autumn are resisting. I think it deserved a photo.

 

Sulle montagne più alte è caduta la prima neve, ma intorno a questo meandro del fiume resistono le ultime cromie autunnali; credo meritassero una foto.
