One last photo from the amazing frosty Sunday morning I enjoyed so much! As I was looking around, I noticed a cloud bank coming in from the northwest.
That eventually clouded over and included a low fog layer by noon.
This time of year, a beautiful frost, pristine blue and sunshine is an event! This was followed by 5 plus days of dark cloudy skies!

There are wildlife encounters, and then there are moments like this one. A Great Grey Owl fills the entire frame in a breathtaking head-on approach, its massive wingspan spread wide against a stunning backdrop of boreal forest and distant mountain peaks. At nearly 1.5 metres from wingtip to wingtip, the sheer scale of this magnificent bird is fully on display here, every barred feather illuminated by bright daylight in extraordinary detail.
What strikes the viewer immediately is that single piercing yellow eye, fixed with absolute and unwavering intensity directly down the lens. This is a bird that commands complete attention and knows it. The Great Grey Owl is the world's largest owl by length, a silent and formidable hunter of the northern boreal forests, and yet there is something almost mythical about its presence, earning it the well deserved nickname "Phantom of the North."
On Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. It's awesome and a bit scary to be up in the clouds so to speak and watching a storm approach with accompanying thunderings. Have a great weekend everyone!
The rising sun tries in vain to break through the clouds as St. Maries River Railroad’s turn to Plummer rolls over arcing track through Shepherd Road grade crossing on September 27, 2021. The Geeps cant into a curve that once hosted time freights and Hiawathas from the Milwaukee Road.

night arrives
unannounced
in a black limo
a silent presence
who follows you
into your room
closes the door
points to the book
of days on your desk
dark finger a shadow
across your past
which disappears
with each turning
of the page until
there are no more
leaves to fall, no
birds to sing
your faint praises
only this moment
and maybe
mercifully
the next

Waiting for sunset on our first night on Lord Howe Island.
The lagoon on the western side of the island is so tranquil and this rock formation makes a wonderful feature in the foreground as the sun sets.

Another image from my visit with the anemones and the bees...this is a two image composite..one was a 9 image in camera multiple exposure blended with a single image with the flower and bee in focus. The images were done with a long zoom length-400mm which can make for some nice soft backgrounds. If there are no birds...there is always something else to shoot...LOL!
