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.

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.
"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

All dreams are truer in the dark
Free from fears, feelings rise from the silence

When I photographed the little chicks I was very lucky that one parent just came back with food. An unplanned scene that made me very happy.

When I saw these baby shoes I couldn't help but buy them. They are probably from the beginning of the last century and are nailed to the raised heel sole with eight tiny copper pins each.
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
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.

That said it Perfect in delivering the right size of Coffee....
When one says, "maldives" immediately thinks to this kind of color. The sea is so transparent and so crystalline... What a paradise.

♫ 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)
"When darkness falls
and surrounds you,
when you fall down,
when you're scared
and you're lost, be brave.
I'm coming to hold you now.
When all your strength has gone
and you feel wrong
like your life has slipped away,
follow me.
You can follow me
and I, I will not desert you now.
When your fire's died out,
no one's there,
they have left you for dead,
follow me,
you can follow me.
I will keep you safe.
Follow me,
you can follow me.
I will protect you.
Oh, I won't let them hurt.
hurting you, no,
oh yeah.
When your heart is breaking,
you can follow me,
you can follow me.
I will always keep you safe.
Follow me,
you can trust in me.
I will always protect you, my love.
Oh, feel my love...
Oh, feel my love...
Oh..."
