First leaves on an ornamental cherry tree. The bloom was coming to an end very quickly and I was able to catch the transition from its very exuberant to its leafy state.
Trying out my Dukane projector lens.
I don't know about you, but I always know which phase the moon is in at all times.
I took a break from deep-sky to capture our beautiful first quarter (59% illuminated) moon earlier this week.
The image is a composite of two images to reveal the unlit portion of the moon for a more 3D look.
The starry sky was also added for effect. I've still got a lot to learn about solar system photography, but I REALLY enjoy it.

In Canada, the First Nations (French: Premières Nations) are the predominant indigenous peoples in Canada south of the Arctic Circle. Those in the Arctic area are distinct and known as Inuit. The Métis, another distinct ethnicity, developed after European contact and relations primarily between First Nations people and Europeans.[2] There are 634[3] recognized First Nations governments or bands spread across Canada, roughly half of which are in the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia.
Under the Employment Equity Act, First Nations are a "designated group", along with women, visible minorities, and people with physical or mental disabilities. First Nations are not defined as a visible minority under the Act or by the criteria of Statistics Canada.
North American indigenous peoples have cultures spanning thousands of years. Some of their oral traditions accurately describe historical events, such as the Cascadia earthquake of 1700 and the 18th-century Tseax Cone eruption. Written records began with the arrival of European explorers and colonists during the Age of Discovery, beginning in the late 15th century. European accounts by trappers, traders, explorers, and missionaries give important evidence of early contact culture.[9] In addition, archeological and anthropological research, as well as linguistics, have helped scholars piece together an understanding of ancient cultures and historic peoples.
Although not without conflict, Euro-Canadians' early interactions with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit populations were less combative compared to the often violent battles between colonists and native peoples in the United States.

First snow for autumn 2022, one day before equinox. Ground is not frozen, and temperatures remain (relatively) warm, so this first snow is not expected to stay with us.
Last year, beginning on exactly this day, we had four days of steady snowfall, accumulating 16 inches... (41 cm) which remained all winter. Fingers crossed that isn't happening this year.
First Light - The first sunlight over Yosemite national Park looking donw Yosemite Vallye from Tunnel View - Copyright 2015 Martyn Phillips, M4Photo.
Tunnel View over Yosemite National Park is a favorite with tourists and photographers and for that reason we arrived very early to make the most of this amazing location. The night was clear and very cold but we were presented with a lovely sun flare as the sun crept up over the mountains surrounding the valley.

Thank you for all of your views, faves and comments. It is your feedback (faves and comments) that makes it all worthwhile.
The season's first snow settles to the surface of the highest peaks surrounding Yudanaka as evening light brings color to the storm clouds, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
The small series of towns near Jigokudani Monkey Park are nestled in a spectacular valley that is rich with apple orchards, small gardens, persimmon trees, and other agricultural enterprises. There is also a very high density of utility poles and other visual detritus that makes the skyline and the way it intersects with the surrounding landscape somewhat less than picturesque. To make this image more presentable, I spent a bit of time cloning out some of the more distracting elements.
Out on a sunny walk yesterday. The temperatures were below freezing, but no snow. The wind made it feel colder than it actually was.
Babies first swim lesson, and the chick between the legs of the Dad was the one most reluctant.
Thank you for visiting and have a great week.
