On a hazy morning with still waters, this gentleman was enjoying playing with one of his dogs on the banks of the Arno River.

At the Cascine park, birds line up on a power line so as to catch the warm sunlight as soon as it peeps out of the clouds.

There is a spot, in the backyard of my workplace, where a whirlwind tends to trap bits of paper and other windborne trash. The other morning, however, these feathery seeds had fallen in the wind trap and formed a beautifully textured mound of fluff. PIP added: I added a PIP to show the b/w version, which, even with enhancements, looks drab and uninteresting in comparison to the color version. This surprised me and all I can figure is that the contrast between the warm furry seed heads and the cool white of their feathery tails adds an interesting element, which is missing in the monochrome.

One more HFF for you today, from some old winter pictures I dug out. Hope everyone has a great week end!

Dante, feline neighbourhood boss, enjoys the winter sun on a favourite rooftop spot. He is 13, going on 14, officially belongs to a neighbour family, but, disgruntled by the arrival of a new puppy at home, often asks us to be his foster family (when he's not patrolling rooftops). I guess you might say we have shared custody of him ;)

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2020, filled with the best light for your pics, a bit of luck to find yourself in the right place at the right time, interesting places and people, good health to take you wherever you want to go, the good grace of our fellow creatures who allow us to take their portraits and that little measure of magic that makes a shot special!

Sometimes a bit of fall survives well into December. HFF everyone!
