When I posted a photo of these unusual amaryllis (Hippeastrum cybister) in January, I commented that I have had little luck in getting amaryllis to re-bIoom. I put them in the side yard and forgot about them until July, when I discovered new buds! They now grace my patio at Lake Tahoe.
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. ;-))]
When the former Isar weir in Ismaning was demolished (converted to artificial river rapids), many rocks were left for a more "natural" appearance.

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 I'm not at Grassi Lakes, you can find me on Twitter
Dans le Val d'Orcia , le matin , les paysages disparaissent dans la brume ou sous les nuages très bas ....
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.

The light of the afternoon sun as it's just above the horizon on a very cold day in Lauttasaari, Helsinki.
When you see how fragile and delicate life can be, all else fades into the background.

" And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm
I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
With all my thoughts
And all my
Faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin
So uninviting
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone?"

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…
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 the talk was over there was a bit of a chase until both birds settled on trees a good distance from each other

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

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.
