Icing on the Cake

#SilentSunday #StevenKPosts #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Winter #Snow #NovaScotia

A hill with a light covering of snow takes up the bottom half of the image. There are areas where the earth shows through in patches, including one on the brow of the hill. To the right of the brow is a single tree. The sky is a deep, cloudless blue.

I have 3 cats. How can you tell this is my favourite one? Could it be because I rarely share photos of the others?

On behalf of the cat family here, Zaz seriously wants to wish everyone a very happy Caturday!

A young tabby cat with curly coat, a pink nose and big ears is staring straight at the camera. Her whiskers are curled perfectly around in front of her chest.

Flowers in my life

Happy Friday, friends.

A bouquet of tiny white lowers and bright red ones in a kitchen setting. Behind, out of focus, is a woman in a dark sweater.

What do think these birds are doing?

They were perched in the high branches of these tall trees, many of them with their wings spread wide. There is no sun for them to be getting any warmth from, just overcast daylight. There were several doing this, flying off again and then coming back to do the same again. I think they are crows or ravens, though at first I thought they might be bald eagles.
EDIT: Comments have shown us they are turkey vultures

Any ideas anyone?

Bare branches of the tops of trees with four large birds on them. Three of the birds have their wings spread wide open as though flying, though they are perched.

Bare branches of the tops of tall trees with 4 large dark birds. One is flying in the sky towards the others. Two of the birds in the trees have their wings spread wide, though they are perched in the branches.

Neckar River sunset, viewed from Heidelberg, Germany

Wonderful memories from our trip to Heidelberg, with this dramatic sky ending a lovely day.

#StevenKPosts #River #heidelberg #Germany #Sunset #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

A view from a bridge looking down a river as it stretches up the frame, with the bank on either side. On the left are classic Germany buildings with the street running alongside the river and a few cars parked and driving along. There is a long docked barge with the gangway from it to the quayside. On the right bank are some buildings and a tree covered hill. The sky is dramatic with displays of clouds and a pink tone from the setting sun which is reflected in the water Another bridge can just be seen in the far distance.

Kasugai Gardens, Kelowna, BC

Taken during one of my teaching trips out West in 2018.

A pond surrounded by gardens, with small and larger trees and bushes in different colours from pale green through darker green to red leaved. There are lily leaves in the pond as well as some rocks.

Caught in the act!

Covid sniffles?

A side-on view of a red squirrel on a camp table, with a large piece of kleenex (tissue) bundled between its paws and mouth and up over its nose. It has a very red looking tail. In front of it on the table are some camping dishes.

G'day FediPeeps!

Have a wonderful Caturday, all.

A young tabby cat with big ears, short, curly fur and long whiskers is lying on someone's arm with one arm and paw outstretched in what looks like a wave. Her claws are extended. Her eyes are wide open staring just to the left of the camera. Behind her is a brick fireplace surround with a large orange painting hanging above.

New Life

Newly born Hafflinger foal, all damp and curly, with his gentle mother protecting him.

Originally taken with film and scanned, this is a photo from 1994.

#Horses #Hafflinger #pony #Horse #Animal #StevenKPosts

A palomino coloured mare (golden brown with cream mane and tail) with a white blaze is standing in a field next to her new born foal. The foal is the same colouring as his mother, also with a white blaze on his nose. His legs are splayed a little as he has only just stood up for the first time. His coat is a little curly and damp. He has white legs. His mother has her nose turned toward him as though she is softly wickering to him.

What's more fun than a border collie puppy in the snow?

Enjoy your Thursday, friends!

#JoniTheBorderCollie #BorderCollie #puppy #Dog #animal #StevenKPosts #FidoFriday

A black and white 2 month old border collie puppy is standing under some evergreen branches. She is covered in fine snow, on her face and rear end and looking towards the camera. The ground has some snow on it, but dried pine needles poke through as it's not deep.

Framed Spring Frog

Miner's Marsh near us has a very vocal spring population of bullfrogs, so great to hear and see.

#StevenKPosts #Frog #animal #amphibian

A green reed arch frames a large green and brown bullfrog sitting in shallow water with some other reeds around. One eye is looking directly at the camera.

The Kingfisher in the Harbour

St. John's Harbour, Newfoundland.

#StevenKPosts #Harbour #Boat #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #Newfoundland #Ship #NightPhotography

A night time photo of a harbour with a large boat on the left of the frame. The hull of the boat is dark, but the deck area is lit up. There is a row of small, dark port holes or windows on the bridge. There are two hills rising in the distance on either side of the entrance to the harbour. A dark low cloud or fog lies across that part of the scene behind the hills, with clearer skies above, a vapour trail disappearing behind the bridge of the boat from the left and a small 3/4 moon in the sky above, on the right side.

Squirrel on Taxus

#SquirrelSunday #Squirrel #Animals #Wildlife #StevenKPosts #SilentSunday #SquirrelSaturday

A red squirrel with white belly is perched on the end of an evergreen branch with short foliage. She seems to be aware of the photographer so is perhaps looking sideways at him to be on the safe side. She has cute little ears and there are signs that she is lactating, so she must have a nest somewhere near.

Forget Me Not

My heart's in this.
I'll never forget you....
#Flowers #Flora #ForgetMeNot #StevenKPosts #FloralFriday #MacroPhotography #macro #bloomscrolling

A heart shaped ring of small blue flowers with a couple of pink ones at the top of the heart shape. There are 5 petals on each and they culminate in a white starburst effect towards the middle, which is a deep yellow with darker centre. There is a green background.

Tulips from Karlsruhe Botanical Gardens one spring... so long ago it seems.

Have a great #FloralFriday friends.

#StevenKPosts #BloomScrolling #Tulips #Spring #Flowers

Red and yellow striped tulips in a garden are bending together. There is a green background.

Karlsruhe Castle at night - before the renovations

Since I took this image in 2010, the castle grounds have been renovated and the fountain no longer exists. All of the landscaping in front of the castle has been changed. This was taken at 10 pm and just after I took the shots, the fountain was turned off for the last time and all of the lights went out.
#Karlsruhe #Germany #Schloss #castle #NightPhotography #WaterWednesday #Fountain #StevenkPosts

In the foreground is the pool of water with a fountain spraying above it. It is a night scene and there are lights reflected in the pool and illuminating the fountain water droplets. There is a large castle in the middle ground, with a turret on either end. It is fully lit and the sky is black above it

Karlsruhe, Germany in Spring

#StevenKPosts #Karlsruhe #Germany #spring #tulips #flowers #Bloomscrolling #schloss

A bright sunny day in springtime, with a curving line of bright red tulips and low dark purple and pale pink flowers leading up to a majestic looking old stone building. The building has two towers on the front corners and 3 tall mullioned windows. There is a dark archway between the towers and there are some people walking around in light clothing. The lawns that flank the curving white paths and flower beds are very green.

Peace

#StevenKPosts #SilentSunday #trees #path

A winding path leads under a bower of hanging leafy branches. The light and dark green leaves reach to the ground, creating a canopy or tunnel of green, which leads into the light.

Street Market, Heidelberg, Germany

Great memories of our trips to Germany.

#StevenKPosts #SaturdayMarket #streetMarket #StreetPhotography #Heidelberg #Germany

A market stall bearing fruit, such as grapes, bananas, figs, peaches and with green vine type leaves twining around the stall. There is a bowl with what seems to be two snakes, facing each other with mouths open. I think they are toys, probably. The vendor,, standing behind the stall is arranging small yellow bananas and at the end of that shelf is a white statuette of a cherub. There are price tickets displayed and behind the stall is a man talking on his mobile phone next to a black iron grating.

Crowds on the Beach in Nova Scotia

Taken with a fisheye lens, this has a strange perspective and curves the horizon. The rock you see is really huge, as you can tell by the size of the person at the very end, taking pictures possibly of the seals in the water or out on the rocks.
