Pretty yes...cobwebs? Oh my and those nearly invisible ones at that hour. The things we do to play golf or see a sunrise or sunset.

A couple of older calf North American Moose (Alces alces) were observed feeding on the snow covered grass. One of them appeared to find it easier to feed by kneeling. They were observed in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Another British Sea Power track they played last night, and it seems fine for Nash Point . These rocks are so loose, they are certainly hanging.
Standing there, was absolutely breathtaking. It looks as if the winter from the left side is about to attack the autumn on the right. And in addition, I got some crepuscular rays too :) What a day!

I took a few nice shots in Sandsend yesterday of the bay towards Whitby and the village itself, but this was my favourite shot.
The North Fork of the Shoshone River flows out of the Absaroka Mountains in Shoshone National Forest. On this day, The smoke and haze in the photo probably came from several wildfires burning quite a way off to the west in Idaho, Oregon and California. Due to the western fires in US during the summer of 2021, Wyoming skies were often smoky or hazy. These smoky conditions were often a challenge for photographers like me who are accustomed to beautiful, clear Wyoming skies.
I love cold air, fresh air. I love the wind in my face. I love clouds scooting across the sky. I love to be outdoors and in the wilds.
It's summer now, but actually I hanker for winter. It may not be as colourful but I'm sure it's more interesting. I tried to cool down this mid summer shot to make it look more wintry, when being outdoors in the wilds gives me a rush. By the next winter I should well and truly be in the wilds. In long dark days I will find a mood to suit.
Does anybody have the word "Snowdonia" printed on any gear or clothing? It seems you are not allowed to have "Snowdonia" printed on your T-shirt because the name has been registered by JD Williams, the Manchester based company that slapped a cease and desist order on Eryri Eco Clothing which is based in Snowdonia. Eryri tried to register the name "Eryri" (Welsh for Snowdonia) but was told it could not because it is a place name, but at the same time was told it could not use the name "Snowdonia" because JD Williams have trademarked it. Doesn't this sort of stupidity in the world make your blood boil???? Too many lawyers stink.

True North, eh? That’s right —the forthcoming February issue of Railfan & Railroad Magazine entitled “True North” is a celebration of Canadian railroading! True North is a project that has been many months in the making, and one that I was fortunate enough to be a part of.
Back in the fall of 2020, I embarked on a road trip across northern Ontario in an effort to capture photographs and discover how Canada’s storied railroading heritage has endured in some of the most rugged and challenging landscapes in the country. I’m excited to announce that these photos and an accompanying essay 'Portrait of the North' will be featured in this special all-Canada issue! I’m really proud of this one and cannot wait to share it with everyone. The above is a sneak peek at one of the photos from the story.

Seen at Tawharanui Peninsula, New Zealand.
Saddlebacks were widespread in New Zealand, but their numbers rapidly declined following the introduction of predatory mammals, especially ship rats and stoats, by early settlers. By the early 1900s, North Island saddlebacks were confined to a single Island off the northeast coast of the North Island. A series of successful bird translocations started in the 1960s. There are now 15 island populations and five at predator-fenced mainland sites.
The population here on the Tawharanui Peninsula were introduced in 2012, and they are now thriving in the relatively safe predator-fenced environment.
Despite the fact this North American Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) 20 feet high up in the tree it still points its defensive rear end towards a potential predator in Elk Island National Park east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Another view of the two North American Moose (Alces alces), posted this morning, browsing in a mountain meadow in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
It is possible that the yearling bull was the cow's calf from last year because being the peak period of the rut, this small bull was not likely to be able to stop a much larger bull from breeding.
