My beautiful bride, 44 years ago today.

#StevenKPosts #anniversary #weddingAnniversary

A smiling woman with curling light brown shoulder length hair wearing an autumn red will dress with blue embroidery. She is carrying a small bouquet of flowers.

This little guy is still hanging around us and we see him from time to time. I think he's been taking shelter also in the hollow at the base of a very big old maple tree, which is in its last months or years. He doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by us, though he doesn't get too close.

He was so relaxed that I managed to get my camera and telephoto lens out to take his portrait in our autumn field.

Enjoy your #WildlifeWednesday #fox everyone!

A vineyard stretches to a forest which climbs into a low mountain. In the foreground to the right of the frame is a red barn. The image is full of autumn colours with a clear blue sky.

Beautiful autumn sky on our walk tonight.

#StevenKPosts #sunset #evening #countryside #autumnSkies

A sky with heavy though broken clouds had rays of the late sun beaming down in individual rays over a flat green field. There are a few low areas with trees in the distance on the horizon.

Got them! A red letter day.

Our purchase of CDs from Fediverse's own Nigel Harpeur has arrived! Can't wait to listen to them both on our #vintage sound system!

Sunday Boules

#StevenKPosts #Germany #Karlesruhe #SilentSunday #boules

A black and white photograph of some men in a public park playing a game of boules. One man has just released the boule which is flying from his hand, while the others look on. There are others scattered on the foreground. Behind the men are trees and bicycles and people enjoying the park.

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.

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

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.
