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.

ALTHOUGH it is rather nondescript the corn bunting does have a distinctive song. It dangles it legs when flying short distances, and just look at its nails, they are very approachable with extreme care, I love seeing them at the Ancient Highway Sandwich Kent.

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 !!

Keep singing them sad, sad songs"

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
On the banks of the Main in Frankfurt with a view of the illuminated skyline from a total of 30 images
Wenn die Nacht kommt... ...wird die Sehnsucht klarer
Alle Träume sind im Dunklen wahrer
Frei von Ängsten steigen Gefühle aus dem Schweigen
Phantom der Oper - Die Musik der Nacht
Am Ufer des Main in Frankfurt mit Sicht auf die beleuchtende Skyline aus insgesamt 30 Bildern
When I passed this fence, the song "Road to nowhere" by the Talking Heads, came immediately in my head ;-))
Happy Fence Friday everyone ;-))

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 snow falls, nature listens.

Where tripod was forbidden, I have to dig deeper to the last bit of this thing called ingenuity. I hated them for the 60 USD (5800 yen) toll and having my tripod deposited in a safety depo box.
Will the seven dwarfs take this photo to Explore? Hahaha. Guess not.

When I finished with this it just looked to plane, so I dragged it through Topaz and I'm kinda liking it now.
Went to the Veteran's Clinic today for a check up and to get my first shot. The line was a little long but there was another old sailor behind me and we killed the time with old Navy stories. The shot was no big deal and the nurse giving it really knew what she was doing. Didn't feel a thing. Just in time too. Guess you saw on TV where our great Governor of Texas said "no one has to wear a mask after next week and all businesses can open".
Happy Week End every one
