'Tis the season V
Edelweiss, of course. One of my favorite photos is one I took of some real edelweiss. I've uploaded the photo to my overflow site:

Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

Hi A very nice Xmas light-flower , I don;t really understood if this is for Xmas, What means Edelweiss?
Come and look at my blog and see my alternative christmas decoration. Have a great weekend!
JoAnn greetings,
....yes the peel takes a little longer but provided the composter is nice and active it disappears along with the rest.
Try giving it a turn about once a fortnight.
Very nice! I like this for Christmas!

Thanks for the greetings. Arrived in Geneva yesterday evening. Hotel ok & not far from the lake. But boy is it cold, and sadly no sun yet.
beautiful symbol the Edelweiss!
Thank you all for taking the time to leave comments!
Alice: I did see your fun series on the wee birds.
JoAnn: I answered you on your blog with a link to information on the alpine flower. I think many Anglophones will link the flower (and so associate it with Austria) to the movie The Sound of Music which featured a song called Edelweiss.
Gail's man (and Gail, too, I presume): I think this is not the best time to visit Geneva, at least compared to what it's like in the summer... you should have gone to Ticino! Or to higher altitudes for a good bit of snow. In any event, enjoy your stay!
Lara: Welcome to my blog. Hope to see you around!
i can hear the song in my head right now
