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.

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 you see how fragile and delicate life can be, all else fades into the background.

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

When is nesting season and where do geese typically nest? Nesting season begins early March and can continue through late May. Nesting spots can be next to a pond or a half mile away. Geese typically like to nest where approaching predators can be easily spotted.

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 I first moved here, there were Phoebes that nested in the eaves of a small shed. This little one flew to the nearest perch he could find upon leaving the security of the nest - nearby chairs on the deck.
With my long lens, I was able to keep this moment undisturbed by my presence.
"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..."

When I was trying to take a birthday photo of Flori I spotted SQL posing beautifully next to her - HMT & HMBT!
Because life can be like burning a candle at both ends, so keep them burning!
A tribute and respect to Queen Elizabeth II, who was a remarkable woman. For in that same year of 1952; I was born, she was crowned, and for all of 70 years, she gave her full loyalty and devotion in her service to us all.
Now, may she finally come to rest in peace !!!
I took this shot from St. Philip's Cathedral of Birmingham; so many thanks for your kind appreciation of compliments from you here, my good flickr friends !!!
