This little guy has been terrorizing my husband’s bait pile. He’s been feasting happily on beets, apples and corn. He’s gotten quite chubby. I’m fondly referring to him as Chubs, my husband’s pet squirrel. I think my husband has other choice names for him though, haha. 😉

Bucharest, Romania

 

The Palace of the Parliament, seat of the Parliament of Romania, the second largest administrative building in the world after The Pentagon in the United States, built in the eighties of the 20th century under Nicolae Causescu's regime. In terms of weight, the Palace of the Parliament is the heaviest building in the world.

OK - it's a little late for Halloween - but I didn't find any small ornamental pumpkins here until after the fun was over ;o)

This morning I waited for some wonderful sunshine so I could photograph my pumpkin together with autumn leaves on our ranch fence. No sunshine, only a gale blowing and threatening rain. Finally I managed to capture the pumpkin on the top of the fence ... with long grasses blowing wildly behind. So - against all the odds .....

 

Happy Fence Friday! And have a wonderful, sunny weekend too ;o)

- Eerde is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is a part of the municipality of Ommen, and lies about 21 km northwest of Almelo.

At the heart of the Eerde hamlet lies Eerde castle, a castle in the Dutch-classical style from 1715, surrounded by a 1,667 hectare estate in the Baroque style managed by the Natuurmonumenten foundation since 1965

 

- Het parkbos rond kasteel Eerde werd in 1715 aangelegd als een baroktuin rond het kasteel. De lanenstructuur komt samen bij het huis en benadrukt de centrale ligging. In het park rond kasteel Eerde zijn 25 lanen.

 

Dicht bij het kasteel werden de 'deftige' beuken geplant, de wat verder gelegen lanen werden met de meer 'gewone' eiken ingeplant.

 

Sommige bomenlanen die je op Eerde ziet zijn dubbelrijig. Dat geeft ook hiërarchie aan: dubbele lanen zijn belangrijker dan enkele lanen. En hoe breder de laan hoe belangrijker. Veel van wat je op landgoed Eerde ziet gaat dan ook over status.

Early morning sun burning off the mist on the hills above Keswick in October

Let me breath green..and feel the sunbeams on my cheeks..and yes I can feel my inner smile ...bubbling up to the surface..

Take care my friends and be good to yourself so you can share..

Big hug!

My landscape set Here

 

I reached John Chestnut Park in Oldsmar, Florida at around 7:00. Sunset is around 8:20, but for some reason, the light at 7 was just magical the way it hit the water and caused the colors and reflections to pop. The reflection of the water by the shoreline glowed with such a striking, pastel-blue hue, I had to lower the blue saturation in Lightroom so it did not look too unreal or surreal! Twenty minutes later, the great light and magic were gone.

 

I've heard it said that the time just before sunset is best for taking landscapes, but I'm finding that at least in Florida, the light is most magical 1-2 hours before sunset. Perhaps that is because the sun can peer through the trees better, creating more striking shadows and reflections; towards sunset, the colorful light seems to be obscured by the trees.

  

...just some thoughts.

The big deck at the pond.

The lakes and ponds are still frozen. Many footprints on the lake from those who ventured out, walking or skating. Temperatures are rising, but not enough to melt the snow and ice. I couldn't stay long in the park because I forgot my gloves and my hands were frozen.

I think this may be one of the few remaining Caledonian pines in our area ...

"The Caledonian Forest takes its name from the Romans who called Scotland 'Caledonia' meaning wooded heights and covered much of the Highlands".

After so many months, I went around to see the snow in the park. This photo was taken through the dirty windshield of my car.

 

I wasn't going to post today but I read the sad news that a friend here passed out on January 9 and I feel very sad. : (

 

This photo is for you, Don! www.flickr.com/people/donbriggs/

You were a good friend even if I never knew you personally. RIP🙏

La Toscana deve molto della sua fama nel mondo al paesaggio «costruito» dall’uomo

nel corso dei secoli. In questo contesto la coltura della vite ha senz’altro un

ruolo importante.

Thank you for your affection and for stopping here.

Discovered this one in my archives yesterday....thought I would have a little change of pace

The only tree we have that actually provides us with fruit is this Victoria plum which grows in a sheltered corner of the garden. Every year we anxiously watch as the lovely white blossoms unfurl, and pray that there will not be a frost harsh enough to kill the flowers. If that happens there will be no fruit come September! This year we have had constant frosts, but so far the flowers have survived! So we have fingers crossed for a plum harvest once again!

 

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

For my Autum through the lens album - the gates at Fyvie Castle last week, where the remaining leaves are being stripped from the trees, and the stark winter shapes are taking over!
