The animals at the Toronto Zoo are not very active around this time of year.
Inspired by Nick Brandt. Google his name. He has done some amazing work.
I've decided that its time to take a short break from flickr. The daily routine of checking and updating contacts has become more of a chore than a joy (as it used to be sorry) - and I hate that its become that way but unfortunately its happened. Maybe its a mix of life and work but additional stress isn't required.
I'd really like to take the opportunity to thank all the wonderful friends I have made from this fantastic website and their brilliant feedback and advice. So take care all and I will see you next year!
This shot was taken with my 2 buds Darren and Brad last week. Its a single exposure that seemed to work out a treat IMHO.
Have a great Christmas and New Year as well....hope santa brings all the goodies one wants!! And more.
Still a few cobwebs to be dust off after hibernation! Hope everyone is having a good weekend - a pleasant surprise that we have some sun here today!!!! :)

Early 2014 has seen a mixed bag of weather in London with plenty of rain showers to dodge and some days when staying indoors and listening to the rain lash the windows has been distinctly preferable to venturing out. The puddles have been a pleasant bonus.

Okay, I admit it, I have been in hibernation and being a narcoleptic its one of the easiest things to do LOL.
Its just been one thing after another with my health, BUT, the good news is that I can keep my colon.
Haven't got the results of the biopsies, but the surgeon has assured me that he didn't see any sign of the Big C that had me pulling the sheets over my head.
Mind, it turns out that its my endometriosis which I thought I had laid to rest ten years ago when I had a series of three ops.
I should have twigged, as endometriosis and diverticulitis mimic each other's symptoms.
DAMN!!!
I know its another Hydrangea shot, but I picked these from our garden for craftyAnn and her husband Peter's visit (he who falls in kelp and has Ann and I running for the hills from the smell emanating from him!).
I was looking at them yesterday on the window sill and the light was just perfect to give me the ethereal shots I so love.
Ann and Peter's visit DID cheer me up as it was lovely to have one of my Aussie friends visit Shane and I.
Shane and I are off out on a photographic shoot for a client at Bushmills but I will be back later to visit.

This is another picture on a different day... although still quite similar. I like this one better... Here is a description from the previous version of it:
This is Hamilton Pool, one of the best kept secrets in Austin. The preserve’s pool and grotto were formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed thousands of years ago. There is a ring of 45-foot waterfalls all around the rim.
The snow is here. So are the short days with less than 10 hours of daylight ahead. I am ready to hibernate. Still, it is nice to see the snow because, in some ways, life slows down quite a bit for me when it flies. Weekends, in particular, become my own again.

About 15 years ago i shot this house during a snowstorm and then i forgot where it was at. Luckily, Wednesday i spotted the snowy rooftop through the trees and knew immediately what it was. I was very glad to find it again because i though it had probably collapsed by now. The front section appears to be from the late 1800's but there's a smaller section at the back that's much older.

.....small, fragile Monarchs form clusters on trees as they overwinter. The clusters are called 'Diapause', where they're seen resting, hanging for the winter. Many of these butterflies survive the whole winter as a dormant group, only to revive and mate in the following spring when the warmer weather sets in. Monarchs which overwinter in the trees live for about 7-9 months providing they survive the strong frosts, storms and wind conditions through winter. Monarchs that emerge during the summer months live approximately 6-8 weeks, once they have mated and laid all their eggs, their job is done.
The tree they're overwintering on is a Western Red Cedar.
