Alby loves Winter best of all. She enjoys the late afternoon chill on her pale white skin (weird kid)
I asked her to put a jumper on but she refused.
Sheffield Winter Garden in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire is one of the largest temperate glasshouses to be built in the UK during the last hundred years, and the largest urban glasshouse anywhere in Europe. It is home to more than 2,000 plants from all around the world. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 22 May 2003.
Part of the £120 million Heart of the City regeneration project that has created the Peace Gardens and the £15 million Millennium Galleries, the Winter Garden was designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects and Buro Happold and is some 70 metres (77 yd) long and 21 metres (23 yd) high.
The building has background frost protection to minimum of 4 degrees Celsius and it is one of the largest Glued Laminated Timber or "Glulam" buildings in the UK (Glulam is made by forming and gluing strips of timber into specific shapes). The wood used is Larch, a durable timber which will, over time, turn a light silvery grey colour. The larch, derived from sustainable forests, requires no preservatives or coatings. This reduces the use of solvents and also avoids the use of chemicals that could kill the plants. It has an intelligent Building Management System which controls fans and vents to make sure the plants are cooled in summer and kept warm in winter. The system will "learn" year-on-year.
The bedding plants are changed five times a year, to give a seasonal change, and all the plants are watered by hose or by watering can, as it is the only way to ensure that all the plants get the correct amount of water.

This clearly was a winter for the record books, and unlike most people I enjoyed the amazing frozen landscapes, clean fresh snow and some spectacular icicles.
I was excited to see this non-breeding winter plumage Long-tailed Duck (formerly called "Oldsquaw"), on two separate days. Unfortunately the days were dark and cloudy and he stayed mostly out of range for my 100-400mm lens. This cropped image was the best I could get on day 2 for my Life Bird Photograph #147. Tomorrow I'll post the image from the first day.
This small diving duck reportedly can dive up to 200 feet to feed on aquatic plants and small invertebrates. Females and young males do not have a long tail, and the male's tail is often underwater when swimming. Males develop a pinkish band on the bill, visible in the picture.
There was only one of these ducks seen among the hundreds of Ruddy Ducks and up to a hundred Bufflehead and other ducks.

#1 beautiful colorado river cutting through the mesa/canyon rock stack of colorado plateau, here getting into an abrupt turn...
this is now a famous spot wth clear signs on the highway and with an unpaved parkng space; then a not easy hike on desert sand to get to the rim...
as the sunset had been missed (again), this was taken wth a tripod to its shortest legs sitting on the edge of the cliff rocks, the wind was chilly and made more or less shakes...
the existing winter sunset light was shifted toward south a lot, it's hard to get even light on both sides of the walls...
more shots below, please comment...
