Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

Most Christmas nutcrackers are military themed figures. This one is, obviously, a lumberjack. And he's OK. As far as being a nutcracker I think he's a little bit on the underdeveloped side. I wouldn't try to crack a pistachio with this thing for fear of shattering the lower jaw. But as a decoration he's pretty cool. Happy Flickr Friday to all and Seasons Greetings to anyone having something to celebrate at this time of year.

Based on The Nutcracker and the Rat King by E. T. A. Hoffman, the dance The Nutcracker is the story of a girl who dreams of the Nutcracker Soldier on Christmas Eve.

In a fierce battle against the Rat King, Nutcracker finds himself in grave danger, but Clara, overcoming her own fears, enters this battle and desperately bangs her little shoes on the Rat King's head and defeats him.

Transformed now into a prince, the Nutcracker leads Clara through the forest, where they watch the snowflake dance, bound for the Kingdom of Wonders.

Time to dream.

Time to let your thoughts fly, fly far beyond the events of Yesterday, because there's always a tomorrow,

Fly beyond the horizons and amaze yourself through the eyes of a child...

Magic time.

Christmas time.

... clouds pass through the starry night sky and the moon roams the Earth.

Guide us through the sphere of fantasy, open the curtain of an imaginary magic theater and tell us the secret of Christmas in a small town: Verronae :D

For the Crazy Tuesday theme "nutcracker" - didn't have any nuts handy, though.

Macro Mondays - tradition

 

This nutcracker ornament is a fairly recent addition to my Christmas decorations, a gift a couple of years ago, but my tradition of a nutcracker for the festive season dates back to my childhood, when my Dad always took our family to Covent Garden to see the ballet The Nutcracker. It was a very special yearly treat and I'll always remember the excitement of arriving at the theatre, settling ourselves in our box and waiting for the performance to commence. Then, the magic of the ballet, which always kept us all captivated from beginning to end.

The computer engineer didn't turn up on Friday so I'm still trying to manage with using my Panasonic (I much prefer my DSLR for macros) and then transferring via wi-fi to my phone and uploading from there - all a bit much for my non-technically wired brain!

Went to Lake Louise to see if I could find one. So much for not having scratches on my truck. They wasted no time going over to see what sandwich I was eating. Lake Louise Alberta Canada

Clark's nutcracker, sometimes referred to as Clark's crow or woodpecker crow, is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae.

Definitely Dreaming 'decoration' theme.

Seems 2025 was the year of the nutcracker for me, maybe the final shot of Nutcrackers to get the wreath in for Flickr Friday.

This Spotted Nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) really lived up to his name: While we were waiting for the squirrels he was busy stealing our nuts. Like squirrels he stores them in the forest soil for the coming winter.

 

Dieser Tannenhäher (Nucifraga caryocatactes) besuchte uns regelmäßig, als wir auf die Eichhörnchen warteten, um uns unseren Nussvorrat zu stehlen. Wie die Eichhörnchen vergräbt auch er Nüsse im Boden als Wintervorrat.

The Southern Nutcracker is related to one of my favourite birds, the Clark’s Nutcracker of North America (with a few locations in Mexico) — see this photo www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/51171213280/in... . So I was glad to see this species for the first time during my brief, four-day visit to Taiwan. The several sightings I had with my guide KC (Chuck) Hung of Taiwan Bird Guide were all near the highest elevation of the Dasyueshan Road, a famous birding destination in the mountains east of Taichung City.

This species is a split from what used to be Eurasian Nutcracker (which exists no longer); the other new species is Northern Nutcracker, which keeps the previous scientific name

(Nucifraga caryocatactes).

seen close to the lake of Davos, several notcracker were flying close to people.
