Not happening quite yet. There are braver people than me on the ice. Way out there is an ice fishing hut.

Captured in mid-March, the frozen ice shards form on the Milwaukee River along the Historic Third Ward. This is the a winter breakup before the spring takes over. The cooped up energy of Milwaukee really appears.

There's still a lot of snow and ice around, but spring is beginning to peek through.

The Tanana River (meaning 'river trail' in Athacascan, and pronounced 'TA-na-naa') east and north of Tok has not quite let go of it's winter ice, though much of the river downstream from here to the Yukon River is running ice free.

As you can see by lots of tracks, this river is an important 'highway' in both summer and winter, for travel both upstream and down, to places not served by a roadway. River travel is regulated by the Dept of Transportation, in much the same way as conventional roads.

The Breakup. San Jose, CA 2014

A pair of people having an emotionally charged conversation. Taken this winter - only just got around to processing.

This is taken right off Front Street in Kotzebue, the sound is breaking up and floating out to sea. It's really quite amazing to witness . . .

Breakup at Big Fox Lake - Infrared 830nm

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme. You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow.

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

The ice is beginning to breakup along the lake shores. This was a nice sunny day, and the sounds were incredible as thousands of pieces of ice cracked away.

Thanks for looking.

just black and white. slight contrast, and crop.

I thought the cracks made an interesting pattern. It was also interesting to see those large plates of surface ice rise and fall as the waves passed invisibly beneath them. The breakup of harbour ice is an indication that winter is finally coming to an end in Toronto. This was taken on the vernal equinox.

It is that time of year on the North Saskatchewan River. Spring breakup.

Day 088/366

A mix of sun and cloud today. The ice has gone down alot in the past couple of days along the shore

Have a great week friends

really..

نعم فإني أكرهك..

فابتعدي

ولاتلتفتي

وامضي كأنك لم تعرفيني

فلست بمن يرضى الهوان

فالموت احب الي من الهوان

وحاكمي نفسك "الحرة"

وانظريها

قبل أن تحاكميني

واستمعي لقولي

ونفذيه

فماعدت أهتم إن هجرتيني:

اغربي عني وخليني

واتركي قلبي بعافيةٍ

ولملمي دمع العيون

فإنه والله لن يبكيني

وكما أكرهكِ فاكرهيني

This is the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), discovered in early 2025 by the ATLAS asteroid search telescope and program

This is from the night of November 19/20, 2025 with the comet in southern Ursa Major. The comet head was breaking up into multiple fragments at this time, following its perihelion passage closeset to the Sun on October 8, 2025. However, even the 840mm focal length I used wasn't quite enough to clearly resolve them. But the main issue was the comet's very rapid motion upward in the frame, blurring the comet in even a single 4-minute exposure. Even so, the head of the comet does show a trio of bright streaks from the individual fragments. But I should have used much shorter exposures, perhaps 30 seconds at best.

The field is about 2.4º by 1.5º. The small galaxy at top is 12th magnitude NGC 3320.

Technical:

- This is a stack of 15 x 4 minute exposures for the sky, aligned on the stars, blended with ...

- A stack of 10 of those exposures aligned for the comet, which was moving noticeably (much more than a comet coma diameter) from exposure to exposure, due to its rapid motion through space. I removed the stars from the comet images and aligned just the comet to blend it into the star field.

So the comet comes from that subset of 10 comet-aligned images taken over 40 minutes.

All with the Askar APO120 refractor at its native f/7 for 840mm focal length, and the Canon R5 at ISO 1600. Autoguided on the stars. Taken from home in Alberta on a very fine night, November 19/20, 2025 at about 2 am MST.

Was outside at the right time last night, in the East South East sky at about 38 Degrees, object breaking up at a 45 Degree angle. Was my first Meteorite breakup, falling apart as it descended to oblivion. Was in the process of taking picture of faint object in sky, Exposure is approx. 1 min 24 seconds prior to release of shutter. Used a Nikkor 55-300 mm lens, set at 100mm @ F/5.6 ratio / taken w/Nikon D3200 Iso 800

So after sending in my Nikons for annual cleaning/service I picked up a Fuji XT-3. I figured having the flexibility to take a smaller kit that provided quality images was worth it on day hikes or times I don’t wanna lug my other gear. After realizing this Fuji is a hell of a camera, I thought maybe I’d try the long Fuji lens and see if a breakup with my beloved Nikon was a possibility. The upsides - the $1,850 Fujinon 100-400/5.6-6.4, 150-600 equivalent (Fuji’s only long tele) has great portability, solid build quality, and built in optical image stabilization. I had some questions about shooting in the field, how snappy and accurate is the autofocus in continuous mode for tracking fast moving subjects? How good is the dynamic range of the RAW files? How will it feel to shoot all day with the Fuji setup?

Final verdict. This Fuji, while capable, can not keep up with the D850 and Nikon 200-500/5.6 in any way. Dynamic range on the 850 blows the Fuji out of the water. Not that I didn’t see that coming, but in post when playing with the Fuji RAW the data just is too limited. The Nikon RAW has so much data in shadows and highlights you can save virtually any image. Now for AF, the Nikon has an incredible hit rate, especially on subjects coming at you. The Fuji was hitting about 70%, and when taking the lens to 400mm (600mm equivalent) it missed almost all of them. The Nikon with the 200-500/5.6 didn’t miss, regardless of zoom. Also the ergonomics of the XT-3 just don’t feel right. It needs a pistol grip with the shutter release being at an angle. As it is, you have to have your trigger finger directly on top and press down vertically.

In summation, the Fuji is a great camera for everyday shooting. It looks cool with the tactile access to most controls. My faster Fuji glass is great and it’s a small package. I’ll keep and enjoy the Fuji for a light hike or walk around a city. But if you are an airshow guy, fast sports shooter, or spotter.....this one isn’t gonna cut the mustard.
