There was a high chance of a visible Aurora, I didn't manage to see it or capture it. Instead I've embraced the light pollution and long exposure times :)
This was excellent. Along the Mississippi in a marsh area with about 50 or more eagles. I thought at first, they were hunting muskrats but no, I saw movement in the water, and it was a huge population of mice trying to find high ground after the ice had melt. I have one photo with an eagle looking at the mouse.
Photography for me is like hunting light, using the ancient instincts of the hunt but without death as its final result. You reconnoiter, you plan, you watch, you wait, you take aim, you shoot... and instead of death, you make a moment of light, a moment in time... immortal.
Although thinking about it.... my planning wasn't really up to it on this shoot, still they say that no plan survives contact with the enemy.... sometimes you just have to make the most of what you've got.
The sky had actually lit up prior to this shot and then it had slowly died away and I'd packed up and started to make my way back to the car thinking it was all over. After a few minutes I turned round only to find that it was lighting up again, and by the looks of it, it was going to be even better than before, so I had to return across the wet seaweed covered boulders to try and get back to this pool.... I should say at this stage that I have a knee injury and my knee was heavily strapped at the time so this was no easy task.
Anyway I made it and then in the belief that feet wet shots are always the best I just stood in the pool and grabbed a couple of quick shots and then thought I'd try for a pano, and this is the result. This is from 6 hand held portrait format shots combined. After this I scrambled up to the high water level boulders and took the other shot that I published recently by which time the sky was really burning.

In the artistic style of Arthur Wardle a digital artwork of two hunting dogs
Prompt: In the artistic style of Arthur Wardle, painting of two dogs sitting on a grassy field, one is a spaniel with a white and brown coat, the other is a beagle with a white and black coat. They are sitting close to each other, looking at the viewer. The background is a wooden fence, and there are trees with green and yellow leaves. The sky is cloudy, and there are mountains in the distance. The painting is done in a realistic style with detailed brushwork. --ar 1:1 --v 6.1

Asian Lady Beetle crawling around on dead Sedum flowers looking for a bug to eat. Pretty but stinky, annoying, invasive and not my preferred source of autumn color OR insect control. And to top it all off, they bite.
In my photographic hunting area with the copper beeches. The first time i use the kit lens. I am not a wide angle photographer. There is no magic in the wide angle, at least not in my wide angle photos.
...you don't see it, but a vole was carried back by this Great Gray Owl as he flew to the hydro pole...this isn't the best flight shot I have taken, but it was the only one that turned out better then most for my posting this morning.
It's -32 Celsius this morning with a windchill, this temperature becomes -43 Celsius, brrrr; it reached a low of -50 Celsius yesterday with the windchill; news had it that the North Pole was -24 Celsius, and the South Pole had -26 Celsius yesterday, so we were colder then the temperatures at either North or South Poles!!
