Just think, you can revisit this post come July when the weather is sweltering and you are fondly remembering cold weather as something wonderful. Enjoy my visual vacation where I rest from writing by combing through Flickr looking for interesting photos to fit a theme. You get to see some new photography talent and lovely images along the way. I try to feature and promote photographers, both amateur and professional, from all over the world. I'm an equal opportunity photo junkie...

looking back photo by gerrybuckel @ flickr, from Michigan, USA - makes you wonder what is going on the mind of that deer, doesn't it? Probably something like, "Got chocolate with a chaser of milk?"

The Starling poem
"'I can't get out', said the starling."
Sterne's 'Sentimental Journey.'
Forever the impenetrable wall
Of self confines my poor rebellious soul,
I never see the towering white clouds roll
Before a sturdy wind, save through the small
Barred window of my jail. I live a thrall
With all my outer life a clipped, square hole,
Rectangular; a fraction of a scroll
Unwound and winding like a worsted ball.
My thoughts are grown uneager and depressed
Through being always mine, my fancy's wings
Are moulted and the feathers blown away.
I weary for desires never guessed,
For alien passions, strange imaginings,
To be some other person for a day.
- Amy Lowell, The Starling

Abominable Snow Dawg photo by Christmas w/a K @ flickr - OK, this little guy is irrestible!
From the photographer: "Snow is like crack for Belle - she will roll, eat, jump, lay in it as long as she can. Major frolicking has happened all week for her. After this snowfest, I started putting snow on her head when we'd go out - she loved it and would then start her crazy snow plow moves and rolling and eating it. Yay - Belle is in the top 20 photo results when searching "snow" on flickr! Dec 17, 2010."
