Christmas is less than a fortnight away and nature here in Ostwestfalen is like early Spring. We used Sunday afternoon for an extended hiking tour around home waters of the river Werre in the Löhne area.

These shots will surely test it!

Yay the cooler weather is finally here in North Florida.....Happy Weekend!

Thank you everyone for the favs, awards, awesome comments and invites! Means so much!!! Cheers to everyone!

A heron stands motionless in one of the lakes at our local Nature Reserve. I stood and watched for quite a while, but he (or she) hardly moved, so great was the concentration required to catch something edible. This is one of the smaller lakes at Plantsbrook Nature Reserve, only a short distance away from home. Once again, I'm so happy to have had Marnie with me, she doesn't frighten wildlife and waits patiently while I take photographs 😃. She's the perfect companion.

I know some day they're coming back for me!

I took a trip to the refuge last month to try some wildlife photography with my new zoom lens. Needless to say I still need some practice, but here's the best photo I took from about 200 shots!

This robin was sitting in a tree and must have wanted its picture taken. It sat perfectly still for several minutes while I snapped away.

Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge

Seymour, IN

I waited for the snail to emerge from its shell but it wouldn't play ball. Hours later it slid off behind the rock. I had been outwitted.

I took this in my yard. If you look closely, you will see the doe. He followed her around for hours.

Oizumi, Yamanashi, Japan.

A very patient Barn Owl that sat for ages waiting for an opportunity to strike.

I was observing the fisherman's strugge to untangle the octopus from the net. All the time a stray cat was waiting patiently until it was finally rewarded with a fresh fish from the day's catch.

✈️ : Missing Melody

One, two, one, two, three, four

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said "woman take it slow, and it'll work itself out fine"

All we need is just a little patience

Said "sugar make it slow and we'll come together fine"

All we need is just a little patience (Patience)

Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather be alone

If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear

Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time

But you know love there's one more thing to consider

Said "woman take it slow and things will be just fine"

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said "sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright"

You and I've got what it takes to make it

We won't fake it, I'll never break it

'Cause I can't take it

Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah

Need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience, yeah (I've been walking the streets at night)

Just trying to get it right (A little patience, yeah)

It's hard to see with so many around

You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)

And the streets don't change but maybe the names

I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience, yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah but I need you (All need more patience)

Oh, I need you (All need some patience)

Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)

Ooh this time (Is all you need)
