Horned Grebe paused for a few moments in the calm water - looking forward to their migration and hope I get to see some again this year.

E n t s c h l e u n i g e n - das möchte ich für mich auch in Anspruch nehmen (ist ja heute schon Mode geworden ;) und eine Pause einlegen. Ich habe noch immer nicht gefunden, was man den eigenen Stil nennt. Aber ist das überhaupt wichtig ? Ich bin mir da nicht mehr so sicher...
Also nicht ungeduldig werden, es geht mir gut, ich bin nicht weg und besuche euch hin und wieder und eure schönen Bilder! シ
Bis dann...
Having a break for a few days.
I wish all of you will have an happy end of the year and an happier beginning of the new one.
Thanks to everyone for your support.

En juin 2021, Megève semble être en pause avant la saison estivale.
Pas tout à fait désertée, juste arpentée par certains touristes et les habitants.
Le noir et blanc accentue cette impression de vide tout en focalisant l’attention sur les détails de la ville.

June 2021, Megève seems to be on a break before the summer season.
Not quite deserted, just surveyed by some tourists and locals.
Black and white accentuates this impression of emptiness while focusing attention on details of the city.
A photograph ( partial of a mural seen in January 2022 but created in 2021). Here the artist invites viewers to slow down and come together in the present moment. In Euope May 1st is a special holiday - offering lily of the valley.. Mine are not quite ready yet as our spring is colder than usual. HSS.
Une photographie (partielle d'une peinture murale vue en janvier 2022 mais réalisée en 2021). Ici, l'artiste invite les spectateurs à ralentir et à se retrouver dans le moment présent. En Europe, le 1er mai est une fête spéciale - offrant du muguet. Les miens ne sont pas encore tout à fait prêts car notre printemps est plus froid que d'habitude. HSS.
Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus): A relatively shy bird. Although a resident of the southern US, these can be difficult to see, but not difficult to hear. This one is sitting on a fence, pausing between its melodious song. Sugar Land, TX, USA.
Thank you in advance for your views and comments.
The lighthouse at Talacre has always been a great location to visit. There are so many compositions to choose from, admittedly most include a lighthouse, but the pools and the sand topography around it are always different at low tide after the waves have made their adjustments. I’m not at all impatient about this essential lockdown but it will be so nice to be able to visit it once again.
This enforced time at home has been good for the garden as I have somewhat neglected it over the last few years, taking solace in the notion of a ‘wild garden’. The nettles and brambles have loved it! So the recent weeks have seen it emerge with a ‘short back and sides’. I am so thankful that I even have a garden and I feel for those people who are not so fortunate.
The squirrels are great distributors of the acorns and I get lots of oak seedlings popping up. These would normally be pulled out, but I spotted one the other day and had the idea of the ‘Corona Oak’.
So, I dug it out, potted it up and I will nurture and train it into a ‘standard’ tree (like I know what I'm talking about) and keep it as a reminder of these difficult times that we are currently living through. This is obviously a long-term project although oak saplings will grow pretty quickly in the first few years. Maybe I will post an annual picture of it. I will attach an image of it to this ramble later.

I send my best wishes to you all. I hope that you are keeping safe and well, and coping with this difficult time, mentally as well as physically. X
This Pride of Barbados has attracted so many creatures to it. As the sun goes down in the late afternoon I get about 30 minutes before the buildings block the sunlight.
The campus is still empty now but in another month there will be students again and these opportunities may become less available.
Wasn't going out this evening (Mon) but noticed the sky changing colour out of the window. Dashed down to the local beach just in time for another nice sunset. Just sat on a rock for half an hour thinking .
After a night of massive thunderstorms, this morning brought news of an horrendous accident on our local rail link to Glasgow. So a small offering here for all those caught up in both the devastating rail crash and the local flooding. As Aberdeen begins a second week of lockdown, Aberdeenshire is feeling quite battered!
Forgive me if I don't manage to comment ... I'll be back in a day or two.
The hydrangeas from our garden were shot with the Russian Helios 44-M lens, dating from 1979.
