The weather forecast segment of CBC's (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) daily Toronto evening news is hosted by weatherman Jay Scotland. Recently he has asked viewers to submit weather-related photos to be posted during the nightly news. If the photo is selected, the photographer's name would be put into a lucky draw for some CBC souvenirs.
During a recent photowalk with flickr friend Will and Ipernity friend John, I took a photo of the foggy High Park. After I got home, I thought perhaps I can try my luck on the competition.
Well, don't ask me why, tonight I had a hunch that my photo might show up, so I set up camera just in case. Well, my sixth sense was right!
There was a brief interruption, and a click, in the middle of the video, as I also wanted to take a photo in case the video doesn't turn out. My camera allows a photo to be taken during the video-recording.
This is the original photo:
Fall migration runs from approximately 1 August to 30 November (though some species migrate earlier and later than this window) in the contiguous U.S. So we are well into fall migration. The cloudy, rainy weather in Oklahoma will put a damper on night navigation for the coming week, but when the sun comes out, and the nights are clear with a north breeze, be ready. Check Cornell Lab's Birdcast.info for daily migration forecasts.

The forecast was for a warm day, highs of -2° C, and lots of wind. But somehow we dodged the bullet in the wind department and had a fine snowshoe. It's called Horton Hill because Tim Hortons has a summer camp at the base of this prominence, on the other side from where we were exploring. We had had a good dump of snow, likely more than 2 ft / 70 cm's, which made the snowshoeing good.
The forecast was for a very pleasant afternoon in mid-March so we set up a small group shoot at a parking garage in downtown Boise. The weatherman lied. It was bitterly cold, windy, and then it snowed a bit. The poor models froze but toughed it out.
Andrea hates cold weather and it was tough to drag her out of her car. We alternated - 5 minutes shooting, 5 minutes warming up in the car, repeat. It ended up being a fun shoot - especially at the end where we shot in a stairwell - it wasn't heated but it was out of the wind. I think she is still talking to me!
Forecast for the rest of Wednesday
Shower or two.
Possible storm.
Chance of any rain: 60%

UPDATE :
we had 50 mm of rain overnight
The weather forecast for Wed, April 6th predicted that clouds would be rolling in towards the afternoon. My buddy and I grabbed our cameras, left work a bit early, and drove up to the Marin Headlands to take photos at Rodeo Beach. We knew these rock pillars were here and had seen some great photos of it and wanted to make our go.
I must say, after my experience at Hole-in-the-Wall Beach I was a little scared when I noticed the tide was REALLY high and almost blocked us in again. Fortunately the tied never became difficult and we got in, did our shoot, and got home safely.
Unlike last week, Mother Nature did not disappoint! As soon as I threw on the my circular polarizer and the Graduated Filters the sky LIT UP! It was like an explosion of color! These photos are NOT HDR and have had very little saturation edits (in fact, I had to lower the saturation a bit so that you wouldn't think it was fake)! The clouds kept the sun hidden so I didn't have any clipping from a bright sun. It also stayed behind the big rock monolith that you see in the center. The soft graduated filters worked great -- gave me some great color in the sky and let me slow the shutter for some neat wave movements. I'm quite pleased with how these came out!
When we first got to the beach I wanted to slow my shutter down more than the camera was letting me so I threw on my circular polarizer. Near the end of the sunset the polarizer was starting to make things *too* dark and the exposure times were getting pretty long. I decided to make one really long exposure so that I could gave a fog like look to the water. I knew I had to keep the photo simple so I zoomed into the rocks and let them frame the photo with the gorgeous sunset.

"A frigid winter is expected across Alberta, especially during January and February. While a few periods of milder weather are expected, we have a heightened risk for extended periods of severe cold, as well as for blizzard conditions as Arctic air plunges south across the region. A snowy winter is expected across the southern half of the province, including Calgary. Near normal snowfall is expected elsewhere, including Edmonton." I have just read the Weather Network's forecast for Alberta. Almost wish I hadn't, ha.
Another five photos from my archives this evening. I am adding the description that I wrote under a different image taken on the same outing.
After endless emails and phone calls, the work on my car is finally about to start, four and a half weeks after I dropped it off at the dealership. It has now been decided that both the slight hail damage and the peeling paint repair will be done at one location, not two different ones. The hail damage repair should be starting straight away. It could still be maybe two or two and a half weeks (or more) before all the work is completed. Will it be done before Christmas? Later: hail damage repair has been completed. Now I have to wait for an empty booth so that the peeling paint damage can be fixed and basically the whole car will have to be repainted.
Update on car situation, 9 December 2021. Just heard that the repainting of my whole car might be finished somewhere around 21 December. However, the whole car then has to be put back together - and, guess what, the person who would be doing this is going to be away over Christmas, meaning that I won't be getting it back till AFTER Christmas!!! Wish I had never pointed out the 3"x 1" patch of peeling paint in the first place, when I took my car for a routine service. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined all that is going on. Sigh.
"Saturday, July 10th 2021, 12:21 pm: 30-degree temperatures have surged back onto the Prairies, prompting heat warnings and setting the stage for potentially severe weather this weekend. In Alberta, the potential for severe weather will remain north of Calgary, but the city could see some non-severe storms. The main threats will be heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts and large hail." From the weather Network. The word 'hail' makes me nervous, as workmen started installing new siding on my home yesterday! Various neighbours suffered holes in their siding and broken windows during the recent severe storm, on 2 July 2021.
There were two special buildings that I wanted to go and see again, so yesterday, 9 July 2021, I did a fairly long drive (343 km total) NW of Calgary. This old barn is one of my favourites and was my first destination. I happened to notice that one of the owners was outside near his van, so I pulled my car around and asked if it would be all right if I took a few photos of his old barn. he told me I could walk anywhere in the field, but I was fine to just take photos from the road. What a delightful man he is! We had a lovely long chat and he told me that he was an Englishman, who had been living in the house for 33 years. He and his wife have a huge garden and grow all their vegetables. I couldn't help but think he reminded me of our late Naturalist, Gus Yaki, full of energy despite his years, hard-working and he sounded a fun guy. I asked if he had ever heard of Gus Yaki and he said, yes, he had, and had been on one of his nature tours further into the mountains. I did enjoy our chat.
My drive took me northwards, where I enjoyed seeing and photographing a few kinds of wildflowers and butterflies. The bright blue Damselflies were there in the hundreds, many of them mating. Not easy trying to get the camera lens to focus on these slender bodies, but I will post a few photos later on.
After spending some time there, including just a very short walk in burning heat, I drove a short way west and then started driving south, taking a route that I was very familiar with, but hadn't done for a long time. Very little to see bird-wise, in fact all day, but there were a few lovely old barns to see and photograph.
My last destination took me a little further west, to see the fairly recently rebuilt McDougall Memorial United Church, with the eastern edge of the Rockies for a backdrop. The original little church had been burnt to the ground by an arsonist, but eventually, enough funds were raised to recently rebuild this historic church, that I have loved for years. A few special T-shirts, toys and flowers had been placed on the fence and ground, to show support for Every Child Matters. This is in honour of the hundreds (thousands) of children who had been removed from their families and made to reside in Residential Schools run by the Catholic Church many years ago. These children suffered and died from various kinds of abuse and were buried in unmarked graves. This is all coming to light right now and, very slowly, these children's remains can be returned to their families.
"The historic church at the end of this pathway was constructed in 1875. At that time, native people were still hunting bison on the prairies. The young nation of Canada was only eight years old; the Canadian Pacific Railway still nine years in the future. And this church would become the heart of a thriving community, Morleyville, and for a time the largest settlement in what would be southern Alberta.
The story of this church is really the story of Rev. George McDougall who moved to western Canada with his family in 1862 to minister to the fur traders and native people. In 1873, the McDougalls established the first mission in the region and built this church. In doing so, they wrote an important chapter of Alberta's settlement history".
After George McDougall's tragic death in a snowstorm, his body was brought back to the church at Morleyville and laid to rest.

After wandering around outside the church and photographing some of the wildflowers growing there, I climbed into my car and continued my long drive home. A drive like this makes my day - and totally knocks me out for a few hours."

The weather forecast for this morning was pretty favorable and as I haven’t been out for a week I grabbed my camera to take another tour of town to find some more house numbers for “pekfosmad” Wendy’s Challenge. At the same time I picked up my notebook and biro to see if there was any chance of finding a stranger to continue my project.
I haven’t really tried that hard to restart my 100 Strangers since we moved. Having moved to a town in Northern Brittany, that in the summer is packed full of second home owners and tourists I could probably find 100 strangers in a day, but at this time of the year the population is much smaller than Etampes at any time!! I was well back into the main part of town before I started looking a little harder for someone. I still wasn’t sure I wanted to continue but kept half an eye out, just in case.
And, there she was sitting on a low wall sending a text to someone. I hesitated for a moment or two and then decided why not, no harm in asking. So I asked if she had a few minutes and explained what I wanted. She had a look on the Internet for Flickr to check it was there, as she’d never heard of it. Checked that it wasn’t a scam and then said OK, but as she was on a five minute fag break from work she didn’t have much time.
Where had my technique gone, I was all fingers and thumbs when it came to explaining everything!! Sadly as we only had 5 minutes I didn’t have time to stop, take a breath and start again.
But please meet Sarah, my Stranger N°86 (Round III), she’s 23 and was born here in Perros-Guirec, she’s not married and doesn’t have any children. She works in a bank and I asked her all the questions I could think of while we crossed over the road for her to go back to work. Although she was quite hesitant about it all, she seemed very warm and I wish I’d had time to get to know her a little more and to have explained the project better to her.
I only took one photo of Sarah and hoped it would look as good on the computer as it did on the camera screen, (it did phew). I then very briefly explained the concept of the “What didn’t you like to eat as a child” and after a bit more explaining, as I’d still not got myself organized she said yes and gave me her “Don’t like” photo. Have a guess what, people in Perros, didn’t like sprouts either!!
I thanked her for her time having given her details of where to find her photo and my email address for copies if she wants them. She also gave me hers, so I shall send her the two photos and a link for her to find them on here.
It was probably my worst organized stranger meet of all time, but I enjoyed meeting Sarah and although I’ve got a lot of work to do to get my “speech” back up to scratch again, I’m glad I did it and hope it doesn’t take quite so long to find the last 14 I need for my 300th Stranger.

Meteorologist Mark Shanaberger with a mid-March snow forecast on WFMZ TV's AccuWeather Channel 69.2, Allentown, PA.
Signal received 53 miles from transmitter using 4 bay UHF antenna in attic. A regular, and useful, DX catch for me. I also receive WFMZ's translator at Roxborough in Philly, but with slightly lower signal strength. The main Allentown signal is more reliable.
Gambling on the weather not being as bad as forecast, today (07/02/2026) saw a return to the M4 bridge at Swindon to see how much coach traffic would come past bound for Twickenham where England were hosting Wales in their first Six Nations Rugby game of the season.
Well, in the four hours we were there, the answer was "virtually nothing"! The total for today was 126, up just 2 on the 124 that had come past at the same time two weeks ago.
Highlights on what proved to be a dry but cloudy day were various members from the Edwards selection box (including a rather shy Yutong GT14); a Wood Brothers Scania from Buckfastleigh; a Plaxton Premiere 350 (!!) from Goldstar Coaches of Northfleet; a trio of unmistakeable 'Jones the Bus' Tourismos; and a lesser-spotted Sitcar Beluga 3 from Brookman of Littleton Drew.
Another pleasant morning completed. And the weather gamble paid off!
The forecast for this morning wasn't very promising so we decided to stick close to the car. Moab is famous for dinosaur fossils so we wanted to check them out. We went to Mill Canyon to see the Dinosaur Trail - we bounced along a short rutted dirt road with sandy washes - glad we had the Outback. The trail itself was ok but not as good as we expected. There were many signs describing what we were looking at but you really need a vivid imagination to actually see the fossils. After that we decided to head out to the Fisher Towers, reached on Utah 128, a very scenic road that heads NE out of Moab toward Castle Valley and Colorado. Fisher Towers were great but we knew we were not going to have much of a sunset (when the Towers turn bright red) so we checked out some of the side roads in the area. Great choice. The first stop was a boat launch on the Colorado River. Great views and the clouds were ideal for HDR shots. Next stop was near the Onion Creek (?) Road. We found an equine trail and Heather darted off to a nearby rise for a better view. Another great choice. By then the wind was picking up, the temps dropping, so we decided to head to the Moab Brewery for the chicken wings happy hour. Not a bad day at all!
I took these photos in early March 2020.

The sun is shining - Bob Marley
We had a trip to Prague in January – for Jayne’s birthday - we don’t buy Christmas or birthday presents, we travel instead. We left snowy England for a very, very dull and grey Czech Republic. Yet again I was on a photographic downer looking at the weather forecast, grey is the colour that haunts me. Fortunately it was dull grey and not burnt highlight inducing bright grey.With the grey sky acting like a big diffuser I was going to have deep shadow and contrast to deal with. We had three very short spells of broken cloud which gave us a bit of sun and colour, which I managed to more or less anticipate so we managed to be in decent locations every time – generally somewhere high.
We had been upgraded to a five star hotel, apparently our original choice was flooded. We got compensation and five star hotel upgrade– a first for me. The Art Nouveau Palace has a beautiful interior, with beautiful rooms, the breakfast room was fantastic, as was the breakfast it has to be said. We were able to have an early breakfast so were out on foot just after eight. It was very cold – and dull! We spent the whole week well wrapped up. It drizzled for a day, but never really wet us, it snowed for a day, again we didn’t get wet and the snow didn’t settle. We walked 65 mile, spending plenty of time checking buildings and their interiors out – and coffee shop and bar interiors it has to be said. Although it was dull and sometimes wet I decided that the Camera was staying in my hands for the whole trip. Whenever I put it in my backpack for one reason or another I regret it.
Again, I didn’t look at any photographs of Prague before we got there, I like to just walk and discover, with the DK guidebook in my pocket (which is full of photos it has to be said). We like to get off the beaten track and see the grittier side of the places we visit – within reason! Prague has an incredible tram network, over 1000 trams – with many of them Tatra Eastern Bloc machines. The system seems chaotic but in reality it is incredible with one of the largest networks and highest usages in the world. The trams and cars frequently share the same road space with very little in the way of drama, none of the inexplicable and pathetic constant horn blowing one finds in many countries. Once it became apparent that buildings with a grey blanket as a background were going to be a bit un-inspirational I decided that the trams would be a good focal point instead. Where I have photographed one of the older trams against a background without clues it is easy to imagine that the photos were taken fifty years ago.
The train network also provided photo opportunities. The rolling stock ranges from old Eastern Bloc to very modern double decker’s and pendolinos. There are three stations although we visited the main station and Smichov. The main station interior is art deco and has been renovated by a private company. The exterior and the platforms are very rundown with a grim eastern bloc 1950’s feel –but it works! We discovered to our amusement that we could just walk across multiple lines, no health and safety, just keep your eyes open and don’t walk under a train – you’ll make a mess. Smichov station was grim, it didn’t help that it snowed all day and was grey and bitter. We felt like we were in a 50’s film set in Russia, broken concrete platforms and dereliction. With both stations there was another world underneath them. The underground Metro is running seamlessly and efficiently away beneath your feet. I didn’t have any problems taking photos anywhere but I was very open and obviously a tourist, I didn’t act covertly or suspiciously. There was only one occasion I was stopped and that was in a shopping centre – full of CCTV cameras filming everyone else!
We discovered old and beautiful- and very large- shopping centres hidden away in quite a few places. Brass framed windows and doors, shops thriving, there was a massive camera shop with thousands of second hand cameras, too much to look at. Many of the landmark buildings prevent photography, some make a small charge, some encourage it, the DK guide book gives a good indication regarding camera use. Nothing stops many people though, they just shoot away regardless, usually wanting a picture that includes their self. Prague is surrounded by low hills and has a fair few towers that you can pay a few pounds to go up, so viewpoints are plentiful. I think we visited most of them. I read about the Zizkov Tower, which looks like a Soviet rocket on the horizon and we headed straight for it - after crossing the rail lines! Set in a quiet residential area, there wasn’t a soul about. Two beautiful girls on reception and we parted with a few pounds, into the lift and were on the observation deck with no one else up there. There are fantastic views over the city, but! It is through two layers of not very clean glass so you go for the view rather than sharp panoramas. Still a fascinating place, with a nice café bar and very clean toilets – there are toilets everywhere, usually manned with a fee. Places are well staffed compared with home were three students are supposed to run a 20 screen multiplex cinema.
Graffiti was prominent, no matter how grand the monument, some moron would have daubed it. How do they get away with it in a 24 hour city centre with a strong police presence? The place is very clean, constantly being swept. What did surprise me, was that many buildings, that looked grand and built of stone, from a distance, were actually rendered with very low quality brickwork concealed. When restored the building look very impressive, others are missing the outer render from ground level to a fair height.
I need to cut this short really, I like to put a background story to the photos and although it would be better to individualise it to a specific photo or group of photos I don’t have the time to do that. I do try to give specific detail in the title bar after I have uploaded, this is time consuming enough although I’m pretty proficient at it by now. There are many things I would like to write that should be of interest to anyone thinking of going to Prague but I’ll have to let the pictures do the talking. As usual I am unlikely to be selective enough with my uploads, I’m not very good at leaving photos out so I just upload and be damned.

Another dodgy weather forecast but desperate to be out, I decided to do a short (4 miles) walk between Great Rollright and Hook Norton.
Getting off the bus I decided to do a mile detour to a favourite viewpoint and found this group of lovelies in the way straddling the footpath. I gingerly fished my camera out of the rucksack to get a shot and despite giving them a fairly wide berth, one decided to follow me at quite a trot, and had nearly caught up before deciding I wasn't worth the effort. Got to the view but it was disappointingly flat and grey but blue sky on the way. Then I had to cross the field again to resume my walk. Luckily on the return trip they ignored me.
Yesterday returning from Las Playitas. The forecast was for rain but we only encountered some nice clouds. This island is swept by the winds and predicting where the rain will fall is difficult, sometimes it rains in the front garden and the sun shines in the back garden.
The weather forecast stated that virtually all of the UK would be warm and sunny on Wednesday 24 May 2017, but I was in one of the very few locations that was not! Mallaig is the setting for this shot, it shows the stock of The Jacobite being reversed out of the platform to allow 45212 to run round prior to return to Fort William. About 15-minutes earlier approximately 300 passengers de-trained and many tried to grab a shot of the loco, it was not a good idea, far too many people jostling for a half-decent position to take a shot. I gave up my plan to take a photograph and sat in the bus shelter style waiting area on the platform with just the smallest hope that I may get something (other than a cold). The rain became worse just as the train moved away, most intending passengers had abandoned the station in search of some freshly cooked fish and chips (known colloquially as a fish supper) leaving two of us on the platform to capture the train without others in view. I got wet, my camera got wet, but I got a picture, not particularly good, too noisy because of the high ISO used; a couple of lamp posts growing out of the top of the Black 5 had to be removed. Having travelled over 500 miles it would have been churlish not to grab a picture.
The ride to and from Fort William was absolutely stunning, beautiful scenery, the engine working very noisily, definitely something to remember. On the front of the smokebox the wreath was to remember the victims of the awful terrorist attack in Manchester a couple of days earlier.
(You will, dear viewer be very pleased to learn that I also managed a fish supper from the chip shop next to the station, highly recommended!)
I modified Stefanie Japel's Forecast pattern quite a bit to make this cardigan. I used cables from Elsebeth Lavold's Viking Knits, and changed the background from garter to reverse stockinette.

I checked Cornell's live radar this morning about 4:30 a.m. CDT and it was showing over 800 million birds in the air! Bird migrations are one of nature's great phenomenons, yet most people are oblivious to them. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts.
If you're thinking fall migration is over, think again!

When I posted the photo of the '31 Packard Roadster earlier today (previous photo), I said this would not be a good day for driving it with the top down. This is part of our back yard, late this afternoon (about 6:25 EDT). Earlier in the week, Richmond weather forecasts called for as much as 3" of snow tonight, but that was revised down to "up to 1 inch" as of yesterday, and this morning, the forecast no longer included snow for today or tonight, but did say we could have "snow showers" Monday morning -- no mention of accumulation. We've had some snow flurries off and on much of the day, sometimes mixed with rain and sometimes just rain, but it started to snow in earnest a little while ago. When I took this, we had about 2 inches of snow, and it was still coming down. (I took a shot at 1/10-second to try to show the falling snow better, but I didn't hold still enough to get as sharp a picture as I wanted; this was shot at 1/25-second. I tried making the snow whiter, but it didn't look natural -- after all, it was snowing pretty hard at the time, and it was nearly 6:30; viewing in the light box helps, though.) The forecast now gives us a 90% chance of snow. Think that might be overly cautious?
I was surprised to see that snow was forecast for Oberon next week, that see if it happens, it could change I hope not.
I went down to visit the snowy owl that has been spending the winter Southeast of Denver. They are rare down here and he has been attracting quite a crowd for months now. It's easy to see why - he's a beauty!

Fall migration is peaking. The number of birds in the air tonight is mind boggling. A good time to be outside.
