But a Christmas Eve snow
A day early this year...
___________
Even though we remain hovering right at the freezing point, early this morning big, fluffy, and wet snowflakes began to fall, continuing even now and providing a beautiful, fresh white accent to the landscape...the northwoods' annual celebration of the season. This shot, as with so many others over the years, taken from my deck.
[This is also the time of year at which I get confused as to whom I've wished Season's Greetings and to whom I have not. Forgive me if I repeat myself and, in the spirit of the holidays, be patient with an old man, accepting good wishes however often they may be repeated. It's the thought, not the memory, that counts. ;-))]
As we aproached the lake, I heard some fellow hikers exclaim "It looks like they use food colouring here!" I thought: photo-op. I don't use any of the 'magical' settings on my camera, but this time I didn't have my glasses on. When I got back home and looked at the pic on my computer I thought "What the heck!" I must have inadvertantly moved the dial. Even though I almost deleted it, after a while this funky image kind of grew on me. Next time though, I will have my glasses on.

Found this Colander in a kitchen cabinet and thought I would try to fill it with Happiness. Being as creative as a bag of rocks, this was the best I could do… it did bring a smile : )
Make it a Great Day !!

When taking this photo the weather was really strange, it rained, snowed and then the sun would come out, you could feel the temperature fluctuating, made for a nice autumn/fall photo.
When I wanted to photograph the strawberry moon, I saw on the other side a completely different spectacle. A beautiful sunset with beautiful colors. Finally I was able to try out my new ND filter. I love this bridge :D

Als ich den Erdbeermond fotografieren wollte, bot sich mir auf der anderen Seite ein ganz anders Spektakel. ein wunderschöner Sonnenuntergang mit prächtigen Farben. Endlich konnte ich meinen neuen ND-Filter ausprobieren. Ich liebe diese Brücke :D

"Hey pretty little mockingbird
Keep singing them sad, sad songs"
Taken at Furillen
When the sun jumped out, wrapping with the mist, you were not only listening to the sound of the falls roaring, also breathing the moisture in the air and feeling the sun kissing the skin…
...longing becomes clearer
All dreams are truer in the dark
Free from fears, feelings rise from the silence
Phantom of the Opera - The Music of the Night

Wenn die Nacht kommt... ...wird die Sehnsucht klarer
Alle Träume sind im Dunklen wahrer
Frei von Ängsten steigen Gefühle aus dem Schweigen

When hiking through marshes, I've often been asked if I knew the identity of this bird. It's a very common bird in Michigan marshes. She is the female Red-winged Blackbird (Red Wing), so different from her jet-black mate with his red and yellow "epaulets" on his wings (shown in first comment below).
In this picture, she is puffed up on a chilly day at Lake St. Clair Metropark. The dry stems of the reeds look richly-colored in the golden light.
When your heart beats so fast just too late. You
wonder if she's awake. You wonder if she felt the same ..
P.S. It reminds me of someone's style ..
when the talk was over there was a bit of a chase until both birds settled on trees a good distance from each other
Belted Kingfishers 8736
When the geese were on the move in late October I picked this location in the hope I could capture a group rising off the lake in the morning light.
Thanks to all for looking and commenting.

When the cold days come
and the old ways fade away
There'll be no more sun
and we'll wish that we had held on to the day
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone

When I got to the lake it was bitterly cold. But then the sun came. The landscape shone and I felt the warmth of the rays on my cheeks.
Besides me there were two other photographers at the lake. One filmed himself at work - the other had a huge telephoto mounted and was possibly looking for birds. We didn't speak - but I'd love to see their pictures.
When you'll have shot down
the last tree
when you'll have fished
the last fish
when you'll have polluted
the last river
then you will notice
that you can't
eat money...

It's amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear
People talking out loud (oooh)
But when you hold me near (you hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd)
Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all
(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)
That smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Lets me know that you need me
(You say it best when you say nothing At all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)
When I was trying to take a birthday photo of Flori I spotted SQL posing beautifully next to her - HMT & HMBT!
