🎶 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

Clouds are just nature's stepping stones to the heavens.

~Anthony T. Hincks

On our Flickrcation in June, this was the first glimpse of Waterton Park on our way there.

Zoom in and take a look around :)

If life chooses the music, we choose how to dance to it ...

You're my favorite song 💕

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!!

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

In a summer of hot humid days and drenching rain, my first Sunflower to join all the other flowers in my garden; happy days.

Hello There!

A view of a large retention pond with its first blanket of ice. It's hard to believe that just a few months ago I was seeing dragonflies here! The whole pond is lightly frozen and would be dangerous to walk on. As you can see, there are thin layers which are caused by the wind, The white blobs were created by snowfall. It was a perfect day for me to go to this park, because a warming trend had begun and all of this ice would have melted within a day. I'll be checking out this scene within the week and I'm sure it'll look much, much different.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do appreciate hearing from you! Have a wonderful day and weekend!

"It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

I'm taking a hiatus from my vacation images today, because I went out in the backyard and it is so full of spring blossoms I wanted to share their beauty.

Spring series #1

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

Jeweled with raindrops, this lovely tulip is the first to bloom this year in my San Francisco garden.

Happy Macro Monday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

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).

Another fun night for the crew of WAPO; not only is it snowing, but two of their five engines have already died less than ten miles out of Waterville. They're still moving along though, as they're about to roll by MP128 in Belgrade, with SD40-2M 613 leading the way, and about sixty cars trailing it.

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.

Lake Michigan was tranquil and full of soft colors this morning.

My first butterfly for summer! Not many flowers open yet, but they are coming and the BF＇s know it. This one is resting on a Mexican Sunflower and the bold orange color is a wonderful attractor.

Otters at Satay by The Bay fighting over a tasty morsel. Unfortunately that's the end of my short interlude on "Nature/ Wildlife", should really be photographing more but too caught up with work/ other commitments. :(

The first "landscape" photo I took under the supervision of Matt Whorlow, a Cornish landscape photographer. I am grateful to him for showing me the use of filters (here a polariser), composition and the inclusion of the foreground. He encouraged me to ask myself what it was that would be fascinating me with regard to this landscape and, then, to try to express this through the image. What is it actually that is fascinating me?

The image shows the Cornish north coast just north of Newquay. Edited in Fuji's raw converter and refined in Luminar.
