TMI October 2016 Contest - Moonlight Serenade
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We live in the house that my parents built. They were great gardeners, and planted a lot of tulips, which still enchant us every spring!!
We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
We don't touch the foxes ever, but he likes to get close!! and he's very sociable and photogenic!! Captured at British Wildlife Centre, UK
Less than half an hour later we got caught in another heavy shower.

...... rather build bridges
that connect us,
instead of always
walls that
constrict us
The Zeeland Bridge in the Netherlands
in the warm light. That's what I wish you
to photograph
Wir sollten.....
......mehr Brücken
bauen die uns verbinden,
anstatt immer nur
Mauern die uns
einengen
Die Zeelandbrücke in den Niederlanden
im warmen Licht. Das wünsche ich euch

We are having a nice wet spring this year, and that translates to snow in the mountains. We went and shot Mt. Hood in the lower light, it had a little pink in the clouds and the sun highlighted the top of the mountain.
Mount Hood is located approximately 90 minutes outside of Portland on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties. Mount Hood stands at 11,239 feet (3,425 meters). It is the highest point and mountain peak in the state of Oregon, and the second most climbed mountain in the world (second only to Japan’s holy Mt. Fujiyama).
We literally walked out of Timberline Lodge, at Mt Hood, up a small slope and got this great vantage point shot.
Please permit me to post another pier photograph. This one is on the Windsor, Ontario riverfront looking across the Detroit River to Detroit, Michigan.
As I looked across to Detroit, I noticed that most of the downtown buildings were dark, a result of the terrible COVID-19 crisis in our sister city. Well, the light at the end of this pier reminds me of an American motel chain, Motel 6, that in their old commercials would always end with the line: “…and we’ll leave the light on for you”. For many of us in the Windsor area, we are thinking of our neighbours, friends and relatives across this river during this hard time. We’ll leave the light on for you! Detroit Strong!

Silence can always be broken by the sound of footsteps walking over frozen ground in winter, when the melancholy trees stand abject and let their branches freeze.

Thankyou in advance for your support, faves, comments and awards!
I do appreciate you all ❤️
We had perfect sunny weather while in Whistler this week.
This suspension bridge was part of a hike we went on. It was the bounciest bridge I've been on. I thought of setting up a tripod on the bridge to shoot the creek below, but that thought disappeared after a second or two :)
Today, back home, we finally have some rain that we so badly need.
We're heading off soon, so this is my last cottage photo in this binge week. I'll probably see you again around Thursday, but it could be a little sooner or a little later. Play nicely in my absence.

Memorial Day - 2022
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. On this day we honor our fallen. Those brave men and women who stood in the face of danger and gave their lives for their country. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, so that all us are safe and free.
God bless our fallen heroes.
...and that is cuz there's food everywhere to eat (and a safe place to sleep!)

Never be cruel
I want to live life
Be good to you
I want to fly
And never come down
And live my life
And have friends around
We never change do we, no
We never learn do we
So I want to live in a wooden house
I want to live life always be true
I want to live life and be good to you

They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

It expresses my feelings of determination that we shall overcome this Coronavirus pandemic, it is not easy now and will not be easy in the near future but with the will to band together with love we can overcome and move on. We are strong and must be patient while our scientists find a solution, we owe it to our children and grandchildren. Sending loving thoughts and friendship to you all.

Reh (Capreolus capreolus) - European roe deer
Das Reh (Capreolus capreolus), zur Unterscheidung vom Sibirischen Reh auch Europäisches Reh genannt, ist die in Europa häufigste und kleinste Art der Hirsche. Als Trughirsch ist es näher mit Ren, Elch und dem amerikanischen Weißwedelhirsch verwandt als mit dem in Mitteleuropa ebenfalls heimischen Rothirsch.
Das Reh besiedelte ursprünglich Waldrandzonen und -lichtungen. Es hat sich aber erfolgreich eine Reihe sehr unterschiedlicher Habitate erschlossen und kommt mittlerweile auch in offener, fast deckungsloser Agrarsteppe vor. Aufgeschreckte Rehe suchen gewöhnlich mit wenigen, schnellen Sprüngen Schutz in Dickichten, es wird deswegen und auf Grund einiger morphologischer Merkmale dem sogenannten „Schlüpfertypus“ zugerechnet. Rehe sind Wiederkäuer und werden als Selektierer bezeichnet, da sie bevorzugt eiweißreiches Futter äsen. Während des Sommerhalbjahrs lebt das Reh überwiegend einzeln oder in kleinen Gruppen, bestehend aus einer Ricke und ihren Kitzen, im Winter bilden sich Sprünge, die meist mehr als drei oder vier Tiere umfassen. Rehe, die in der offenen Agrarlandschaft leben, bilden Sprünge von mehr als zwanzig Individuen.
Das Reh unterliegt dem Jagdrecht und wird dort dem Schalenwild und dem Niederwild zugeordnet. Die Jagdstrecke beträgt allein auf dem Gebiet Deutschlands jährlich mehr als eine Million Stück. In der landwirtschaftlichen Wildhaltung spielt es auf Grund seiner Verhaltensmerkmale keine Rolle.
Das Reh wurde durch die Deutsche Wildtier Stiftung als Tier des Jahres 2019 ausgewählt.

European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_deer
The European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), also known as the western roe deer, chevreuil, or simply roe deer or roe, is a species of deer. The male of the species is sometimes referred to as a roebuck. The roe deer is relatively small, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. The species is widespread in Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, from Scotland to the Caucasus, and east to northern Iran and Iraq. It is distinct from the somewhat larger Siberian roe deer.
