""" YES!!! Finally Santa is here and immediately caught in the act by a famous Santa-spotter ;-)), but it's unclear if he's climbing out of a chimney, after leaving presents in that house or if he's been sleeping in a flowerpot.. ......
What do you think?"""
Although I will post the last picture of this Santa-series tomorrow, I would like to thank everyone for following it and the nice comments I received. It is much appreciated.
Many thanks for your friendship! ❤️
A Happy Xmas everyone or Happy Holidays with your beloved ones, enjoy the time together.

My least favourite type of weather, is an overcast sheet of white across the entire sky, featureless, boring and annoying, plus seemingly it lasts forever! So, one thing I know when I have perused other photos against such a backdrop, is that they can look like watercolour paintings. This is what I wanted to achieve in this shot.
However, much to my luck, a Bumblebee flew into the shot just as I hit the shutter down and thus, this is the result, I couldn't be happier. The slightly out of focus Bee accentuates to the image I wanted to create, a water painting without heavy software manipulation; sometimes in photography you can just get lucky!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you!
Here's another look at the Chicago skyline and its icy shoreline along Lake Michigan at Monroe Harbor. One thing about Chicagoans, you can't say we don't know sheet :) Happy Friday!

More and more of the St. Lawrence River is freezing over. Was able to reach a section of open water with broken ice due to high winds the day before. A lovely sunset under clouds with snow on the forecast soon. Also, ongoing below freezing temperatures will create more ice. A closer view below...
Life is so beautiful!

Have you ever wondered why ghosts are depicted as looking like people with sheets draped over them? Perhaps because people sometimes do throw sheets over their heads and mock the dead by pretending to be ghosts. I don’t know that I believe in ghosts. I suspect that we are so tied to our bodies that when our bodies fail that whatever is left (if anything) is too fragile to make its self known. Perhaps the prototypic ghost shape represents some other phenomena.
A member of my immediate family is something of an amateur ghost hunter. He shared with me a video he took of phenomena that looks something like a traditional ghost. Less so a man with a sheet over his head than a source of glowing energy like an elongated jelly fish. If you wish to see the video and judge for yourself, you may watch it here:

Constructed on a fence at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. These non-sticky webs are designed to entangle or stop flying prey in the upper portion, after which the prey often falls onto the lower "sheet" where the spider awaits. Notice the loose curved threads strung between the stiff vertical strands. This web was about 6" long. Quite a piece of engineering!
Here's one you may not immediately recognize from Zion NP. This is The Subway with higher than normal water flow!
sitting the brass incense burning on the soap stone case incense burner and getting lights right presents a flow unique and pixel worthy.
Cotton bed linen in a lovely old French Armoire we found a few years ago. I was carried away by the need to photograph something for Macro Mondays, Cotton, but kind of forgot it needed to be less than 3" so now I am going to have to think again....
