The nest was about 4-5 m (15 ft) to camera left, and this little goldfinch had just taken it's maiden flight. Mama took awhile to bring it some food, so it sat there and nodded off. Centre Wellington, Ontario. August17, 2022.

First one this season in our pond. I know I shoot too many of these and this year probably will be no exception.

This is sunrise from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park (Bar Harbor, Maine). Even if you're not a morning person, the sunrise from Cadillac is worth waking up for. The sun rises over Frenchman Bay and sends a stream of light across the water and the Porcupine Islands. It's really a lovely site to behold.
Same drop.....same angle...just little different light perspective.

The lovely Evie took Dren and me to this amazing Winter place where we did enjoy the first snow this year, thank you for that Evie! With Christmas upcoming, and the decorations for it done in each world, this is just what i needed.

Poor light but in thirty years the first Brambling to visit the garden. Maybe it'll revisit in better light before migrating back north.
The snow
began here
this morning and all day
continued, its white
rhetoric everywhere
calling us back to why, how,
whence such beauty and what
the meaning; such
an oracular fever!
flowing past windows, an energy it seemed
would never ebb, never settle
less than lovely! and only now,
deep into night,
it has finally ended.
The silence
is immense,
and the heavens still hold
a million candles, nowhere
the familiar things:
stars, the moon,
the darkness we expect
and nightly turn from. Trees
glitter like castles
of ribbons, the broad fields
smolder with light, a passing
creekbed lies
heaped with shining hills;
and though the questions
that have assailed us all day
remain - not a single
answer has been found -
walking out now
into the silence and the light
under the trees,
and through the fields,
feels like one.

this morning it snowed for the first time in this winter :)
the world turned monochromatic instantly.
Don't you love that feeling you get, when you see the first snow hitting the distant mountains?! This was taken in September. My photo travel buddy chris.ph and I were giddy with excitement, imagining the scenes to come.

As I've said before, this weekend was jumping time. We went to Evergarden Equestrian a bit earlier, taking the time to get set up and also for our mare to get used to the atmosphere of this place. Lot of peoples was there, riders, spectators, sponsors and of course, stewards.
Hopefully we wasn't in the first ones to go, we were in the middle of the list, which is perfect to look at the others competitors and remember the course.
The more the participants followed each other on the course, the more Euphoria's muscles strained. She was ready, ready to go on the jumps, she loved that. We did some clean runs on our training time, we will see how we doing in real conditions.
Maybe was it cause of the crowds, of her young experience in competition, of her rush trends or maybe it was cause of me but we did make a fault on two jumps. Cause of this, we didn't place. It's not really a big matter, the stewards told everyone that if we wanted, we could have a second run if we wasn't proud of our first one, but even with those little faults, Euphoria did great and I rather didn't took the second run to leave her on a fairly good course.
We did have a participation ribbon so, we're really happy with it ! Next saturday, we will try again, we will train again and we will have fun.
Proud of you my pretty mare, thank you for this first competition with you !
(Oh yes, I'm kinda talking to myself but eh, told that I had my Ranch in my head.. xD)

This is the first time I was able to capture one of these. One of the things I learned from watching them is that the beak is shaped that way to help them drink. It is sort of a reverse laddel thing.
Murano
is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy.
Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and the destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.
Murano glass is still associated with Venetian glass
