Ottawa and the surrounding areas are what could best be described as ‘Owl rich’. There are at least five species of Owl commonly found in this part of the world, and in winter that number can expand (as it has with the recent arrival of a few Northern Hawk Owls).
That said, I have rarely seen a Barred Owl in an open space with good light. There are always a few around, even nesters, but they tend (in my experience) to be high up in very branchy coniferous trees, often in shadow. I have rarely if ever secured an image worth posting here.
For whatever reason this Owl decided it was time to catch some late afternoon sun. This may have had something to do with the sudden plunge in temperatures and a very strong wind out of the west. In Owl calculus, the benefits of the sun outweighed the exposure to the wind.
This was a delightful surprise to find, and to photograph. The Owl seemed preoccupied and so it was oblivious/indifferent to my presence. I was able to spend about ten minutes observing it and trying to figure out how to get my camera and my numb hands to cooperate. I always bring the camera but in the cold and wind I had seen very little before coming across this creature.

Man I love this series. Except for the really questionable entries that we don't talk about. Sealnoon just informed me that lego now makes the Birthday Boy hair in that earth-orange color and goddamn do I know what I'm gonna scour the earth for now.
Anyways, here's some figs.
Thompson: With a P, as in Pterodactyl.
Thomson: To be precise, "P", as in Psychology.
Tintin: Great Snakes!
Snowy: Arf!
Captain Haddock: Blistering Blue Barnacles!
Professor Calculus: A GOAT? ME!
lemme know what you think!
Do you prefer hands-on experience and discovery or do you rely on your manual?
I knew how to use the camera before I purchased it .. the manual is cool and I definitely refer to it when needed but in my opinion there is nothing like hands on experience and discovering what you can do on your own at times ...
P.S. I HATED math in high school!! Except Algebra because we had a really cool teacher!!
Sometimes. ..sad. ..Sometimes ...proud ..Sometimes. ...frantic. ...Sometimes so bleak...Sometimes. .calculus...Sometimes the thing we see when we close our eyes.
Another year is over for my Calculus students, and FINALLY, I will get a new textbook, one that is easy for students to read.
I know, I know, you are thinking that the sighting of an easy-to-read mathematics textbook, let alone calculus, is rarer than sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. I had some of my students look it over and some wanted to fail the class just so they could use the new textbook next year.
Happy FUTABday, everybody!
"Well, a crazy landscape already, Professor, and now what do you make of that??"
"It looks like 10:10, Tintin."
"Is there a meaning there?"
"Indeed! It is ten minutes past ten o'clock."
"Hm. Okay. I guess I was looking for something a bit more profound. I mean, the clock numbers are weird."
"They tend to ten ten to Tintin."
"You're... just making this up."

In habitat near Bitterfontein. Still one of the most attractive species in my opinion. Large plants like these are quite scarce. Most plants observed had 3 to 6 heads.
Made with Art House Whimsy's Faces of Steampunk 2 and lots of bits and bobs from her other steampunk kits/ my stash. Finished with textures and colour grading.

I have a Christmas Party on Saturday Evening. Nothing "over the top" so I picked out something festive. You can never go wrong with a Prada bag. Versace is always nice for the holidays too. There is only one issue staring me in the face at the moment, as I look down. It looks to be an advanced calculus problem. How to get the items on the left hand side photo into the corset on the right hand side picture? So I asked my husband for assistance. He took a look and then looked again. Finally he said "Its a problem for NASA or the Russians to solve baby. Modern man hasn't come that far yet." End of discussion, back up went his newspaper.
Where's Howard Hughes when you need him? Can someone answer that for me?
… with a little help from a 35 year-old TI-37 Galaxy Solar calculator. I'd like to see how useful an iPhone or that laptop will be in 2054...

Branch of mathematics employed by ospreys (and others) to determine the velocity, trajectory, and grappling point for landings on Horsepen Bayou.
Algebra is very simple compared to its highly abstract mathematical cousin shown here. Alas, this conjures up bad memories of all but hitting a wall taking calculus in college.
Inktober 2020 - I'm definitely not inspired by this list. Or maybe I just don't have/take the time this challenge deserve.
That's what happens when one is acting the goat...
