New updates regarding weather: December 3, 2016
"It looks like Springtime"? not sure, it could be... an answer; but it's just a changing of the seasons... an unusual time at this moment, but it is all right!
The Seasons can come and can pass 'in a glance'; what it counts is the feeling, the emotion to be part of the changing of the seasons, as an expression if I can say it like this.
Crème brûlée & "Springtime"; December 5, 2016 (below)
No snowy weather signs or at least some little snowflakes, till now ?
Don't worry: I found a way! cute, isn't it!

"Photographer Stephen Wilkes crafts stunning compositions of landscapes as they transition from day to night, exploring the space-time continuum within a two-dimensional still photograph."
Source: "Stephen Wilkes: The passing of time, caught in a single photo; Filmed February 2016 at TED2016".
*excerpts:
"Photography can be described as the recording of a single moment frozen within a fraction of time. Each moment or photograph represents a tangible piece of our memories as time passes. But what if you could capture more than one moment in a photograph? What if a photograph could actually collapse time, compressing the best moments of the day and the night seamlessly into one single image? (...) Day to Night is about all the things, it's like a compilation of all the things I love about the medium of photography. It's about landscape, it's about street photography, it's about color, it's about architecture, perspective, scale -- and, especially, history."
"The act of sharing has suddenly become more important than the experience itself. (Applause)"
"As technology evolves along with photography, photographs will not only communicate a deeper meaning of time and memory, but they will compose a new narrative of untold stories, creating a timeless window into our world." *excerpts. Click to see more on video.
A social poem. "A poem about saying yes | IN-Q | at TEDxHollywood"(*click to watch the video below)
"This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this opening talk, IN-Q takes the audience on an introductory journey through his own poetic expression combining the old with the new." *
Excerpts from the poem:
"(...)Let's meet up in between, said the the ocean to shore."
" Do you laugh on instinct or do you choose to laugh?
Do you ask because you care or do you merely ask?
I ask you this because I care about how humans act.
We're animals, aware of our future and our past
and this could be an obstacle to travelling our path.
Instead of just accepting where we are at,
we analyze out tracks for what we could've had,
looking back, focused on the memories,
instead of the facts, hance what we attract.
But it's hard the fact that when we're fast,
it really flashes past.
It's an exponential graph from creation into ash.
I'm sentimental one minute, them I'm making plans(...)
Philosophize,
'cause no one has your awesome eyes.
Your view is worth the lows and highs,
as we go through on the coastal rides.
Control has got us holding on, when letting go could be more fun. (...)"

that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.*"

Happiness starts with yourself.
Be joyful, amazing and never give up to smile!
Stunning things are all over!
Stay positive, today, tomorrow and always!
Rămâi pozitiv, astăzi, mâine și întotdeauna!
So, very thankful, each and every day, to be inspired...
All is well...
Kisses to kitty!

FRANKLY MY DEAR
Thank you so much!:)
ȘtergereVery attractive black and white, with such a seasonal feel.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you very much!
ȘtergereLovely series celebrating the seasons. Love the subtle atmosphere of the first photo.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so much, Gemma!
Ștergeregreat skies. both blue and dramatic ones :)
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you very much! november has lovely skies :)
ȘtergereThat first picture is so dramatic! Lovely seasonal changes going on in your area... enjoyed all.
RăspundețiȘtergereGladly; thank you so much, Sallie! Indeed, some lovely seasonal changes, and also unusual for this period of time. It looks more like Spring time.
ȘtergereToate fotografiile sunt frumoase, dar prima o consider spectaculoasa. :) Pisicul pare ca priveste spre cer (stiu ca e poza din noiembrie) :) Imi place de el. :)
RăspundețiȘtergereImi place contrastul (sa zic asa) dintre agitatia norilor si crengile desfrunzite si caldura caminului, armonia care se simte in fotografiile "de interior" - imi imaginez o scena idilica, in care pisoiul toarce la gura sobei in timp ce prietenii lui umani se bucura sa fie impreuna. :)
"Fiecare zi e cea mai buna zi din an" - am parafrazat ceea ce scrie undeva in articol. :)
Iti doresc, cu drag, zile fericite! Start bun in decembrie! :)
Un noiembrie, dar si decembrie atipic, observ; cu fiecare zi, ajungi sa te intrebi in care anotimp esti de fapt!! :) Ninge in unele parti ale globului (si unde nu a nins se pare vreodata); si se mentine, in zona noastra, o vreme calduroasa, desi prognoza a indicat cu totul altceva, zilele acestea. Astfel, nu ne ramane decat sa ne adaptam constant posibil. Pisicul cauta oricum caldura in orice spatiu s-ar afla si, poate, cred ca i-ar placea si un semineu sau sa stea la gura sobei (*-*)...
ȘtergereIntr-adevar, se pare ca "fiecare zi e cea mai buna zi din an"..
Un start fantastic de bun in noua saptamana din sezonul Sarbatorilor de Iarna, asemenea si zile faine si armoniase sufletului, asa cum ne dorim! Salutari cordiale cu drag!
Hello, great photos!
RăspundețiȘtergereI want to make more spirit to Blogger's Sunday Walk. The last few times I've walked "alone" - therefor I invite all bloggers to join BSW 2017, and hope that many accept the challenge and document what happens four Sundays a year.
Happy Weekend!
See: http://viltogvakkert.blogspot.no/2016/12/bloggers-sunday-walk-2017.html
Thank you very much for invitation! I'll keep it in mind and I'll wait for this 'Sunday Walk'/ BSW 2017 event. Happy Weekend, too!
ȘtergereDear Alexa - The changing sky with flowing clouds and the halo is so dramatic and atmospheric. I looked in awe at the skies and with smiles at your cat. I also like the B&W photo. There’s no sign of snow in my part of the world, either, though it snowed in northern part of my country. Have happy days ahead.
RăspundețiȘtergereYoko
Many thanks, Yoko! It's a very unusual sunny weather. For sure, no signs of snowing till now in this week, either. Hope you to have a lovely time this week and happy days ahead, as well.
ȘtergereWonderful shots of the sky. I love the changing of the seasons.
RăspundețiȘtergereSo interesting to observe the changing of the seasons, indeed. You always have so beautiful views captured!! Many thanks, Fiona!
ȘtergereBeautiful as always Alexa! I love your clouds and stillleben!
RăspundețiȘtergereLovely said, 'clouds and stillleben'; just aspects of the passing days, passing moments... Many thanks, Riitta!
ȘtergereMagnificent photography of the season ~ my favorite, though, is that dear cat at the window ~ lovely shot! thanks,

RăspundețiȘtergereMany thanks, Eileen, too! And a very lovely week to you, as well!
ȘtergereWonderful photos Alexa and a great music choice... Michelle
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you very much, dear MIchelle!
ȘtergereWow Alexa, the day and night video is amazing! Thanks for sharing it and your images. Your many sky shots show our world in these short days of the year. I hope that you are enjoying this Advent Season as we approach Christmas. I hope to see you back again.
RăspundețiȘtergereSo true, such an informative video with a very interesting point of view over photography!! I enjoyed it so much, so I think it's nice to share their idea. Many thanks for appreciations. A very festive time and with good cheer, too!
ȘtergereA beautiful post full of amazing photographs and life affirming sentiments. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt of the Ralph Waldo Emerson poem.
RăspundețiȘtergereSo glad you shared it all with us at Mosaic Monday this week.
Lovely your way of saying: "life affirming sentiments"; regarding the poem excerpts are like a motto, an adage, a very touching way to conclude and define the essence of every one of my photo essays from series "Timeless", if I can say like this.
ȘtergereMany thanks, Maggie, too!
Hi! Your photos are very beautiful. I like them very much. We have many fine days in Tokyo in winter.We would enjoy them. Wishing you have nice days.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so much, Minoru! Winter it's so near, in here, too and for sure in Tokyo it must be so lovely to admire nature and various sights like in your splendid blog posts, as always! Have nice and festive days, also!
ȘtergereGreat series of images.

RăspundețiȘtergereYes, correctly, 'WINTER 2017, JANUARY 29', and then 'Spring April 30, Summer July 30, Autumn October 29", walking on these very days!
I will remind everyone in a post on a week beforehand. ;:OD)

ȘtergereSoothing cat photos and landscapes, cheerful Christmas images... and quotations that really speak to me.

ȘtergereGreat post, Alexa. You are certainly getting ready for Christmas. I hope you enjoyed St Nicholas' Day - I did for obvious reasons :-)
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you for linking up with the Saturday Silhouettes meme.
Thank you so much! Certainly, we're a little bit closer of the Christmas. All we need is the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere on Holidays. :) For sure, you've had a lovely day of celebrating on St. Nicholas Day! Season's Greetings to you and family! And a very good week for Saturday Silhouettes, too.
