I've gone through one week of winter--snow, cold, icy windshield, gray skies--and I find I miss summer. 😅Pic taken in Prescott, WI, a rivertown where you can tie up your boat at a dock and stroll to a beachside restaurant for dinner and drinks. #landscapes #photography #beach #summer #sand #water

Two playful sibling squirrels, chasing each other around a tree. I've seen this behavior many times--they do it for fun--but this is by far the best shot I've gotten of it.

Another pic from First Snow day. Not as dramatic and beautiful as the lone small tree, but it has its own charm. #landscape #snow #yellow #evergreens

I captured these dragonflies mating. Once I looked for that, I saw them everywhere. This pic is dated 9/2012. 😊 The Kama Sutra has nothing on them when it comes to strange positions. 🙃 #photography #wildlifephotography #insects #dragonflies #mating

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

I took this pic in Wisconsin many years ago, but I loved living there and miss it, especially in fall. They get great autumns.

If you've ever seen the KDrama Goblin, this song will hurt your heart. It's a one-hour compilation; quit listening any time you want.

This is my first snow in ELEVEN YEARS. 😊 Of course I went out with the camera while the flurries were flurrying. The one thing I noticed right away: it was COLD when I first stepped outside but after I switched focus to suitable subjects for a photo, I was fine. #photography #snow #tree #winter

This song captured me at first hearing. It's a love story, and you can turn on subtitles, but I prefer to listen to her beautiful voice and imagine what I want.

This is a real house in Wisconsin. I always imagined vampires lived there, because who else would board up all the windows? It gave off a distinctly creepy air.

Evening sunset, lots of clouds. Gotta have clouds for drama. 😊

"You lookin' at me? 'Cause I'm looking at you!"

This squirrel was cute, peeking at me from behind a tree.

From the archive: this male sand crane trying to entice the attention of a female. He "danced" for a long time, and I was so excited to see the display, I'm surprised I got pictures! 😊
Details in ALT.

I was on my way home when I spotted this narrow gorge just off the road, so I stopped and walked back to take a picture. I can't get enough of fall colors and hills after living in Florida 11 years! I really missed them. More in ALT.

My leg muscles did not like these stairs, but it was worth it. I was surrounded by the colors of fall, & the sun's warmth made me to unzip my jacket and smile. There are times when I keenly feel the joy of being alive. This was one of them. #landscapes #photography #KendallLake #woods #trees #autumn

This is Lapsana Linnaeus, common name Nipplewort. It's blooming in early November. Somehow, seeing bright little flowers like this when it's headed toward freezing at night, is cheering. #Bloomin'Thursday #yellow #flowers #blossoms #photography #tiny

I parked the car and walked into the woods. The light was just right to capture this sunburst through the trees. Details in ALT.

The Boston Mill Station is a stop on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. It provides access to the Boston Mill Visitor Center (currenty closed due to the shutdown) and the village of Boston. It's also right on the river!

I just had the most pleasant talk with someone at my credit union, which is in St Paul, MN. Turns out she hates Trump as much as I do. Heh. It's always fun when you can trash-talk someone who fully deserves it with someone who feels the same way you do. 😂

This mated pair of black swans live at the duck pond. They aren't always there (or maybe they are and are hiding), but I saw them the last time I was there. Beautiful birds! Photo and processing details in ALT.

I often wish I could discover a portal between our world and another; that was the first thing I thought when I saw this today. Alas, though I went all the way through, I remained on this Earth. 😉 Maybe another day!

This is a stunning waterfall, and my friend tells me this is only about half the usual volume! Bike and hiking trails, none too difficult for an old fart like me. 😊 I'll be posting more pics as I process them. (Brandywine=the Shire! You thought it too!)

From the archive. A friend and I were driving around one late fall day and saw this elk standing in a fenced pasture. We'd stumbled across an elk farm, end purpose unknown, but he was a magnificent. See ALT for details.
