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.

Dans le Val d'Orcia , le matin , les paysages disparaissent dans la brume ou sous les nuages très bas ....

"If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again."

- Daphne du Maurier

When I spotted a tiny Spider on this Rose, I thought about the little guy’s world and how all things that happen to the rose will in some way affect that little spider.

 

Hopefully he will move on before a human sprays the rose with chemicals and alters his universe.

When the first snowdrops shyly show their little heads from the sunlit spots. I love how the sun's rays warm my face so I can feel a tingle on my skin. In order to bridge the long time until then, I have created a refuge here that tells me that spring will soon bring nature to bloom with all its beautiful colors.

Wenn die Nacht kommt... ...wird die Sehnsucht klarer

Alle Träume sind im Dunklen wahrer

Frei von Ängsten steigen Gefühle aus dem Schweigen

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

I took this photo for the Happy Caturday theme "Sleepy Cats". Getting a photo for this theme wasn't as easy as it seems. Yes, cats sleep a lot, but they are suddenly wide awake if you point a camera at them. :)

Happy Caturday !

When the duckling takes the bait!

When one says, "maldives" immediately thinks to this kind of color. The sea is so transparent and so crystalline... What a paradise.

Today's another day with scorching hot temperatures in Mid-September!! So let me offer some welcome refreshment to all of us who are suffering from the heat :)

♫ Keith Whitley - When You Say Nothing At All♫

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)
