Great Tit [Parus Major]
A lovely afternoon brought literally hundreds of wee birdies to my feeders at The Pixies.
This Great Tit waited on a branch for a few seconds, before darting down to get a peanut. Sometimes, they will sit and eat sunflower hearts but normally they just swoop in, take a nut, and fly off, then come back and repeat the procedure. Apparently, they stash their food for later.

Boy, let me tell you! You had to be quick to get a shot of this little Winter Wren. It barley stopped to get a shot. Spent almost an hour with it. Bucks County PA.
the secret of the fox
ancient mystery
somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hiding
what is your sound?
will we ever know?
will always be a mystery
what do you say?
*I took this awhile ago at Dispersion, but think it may be closed now?
I saw a hooded merganser couple in the creek from a distance. They swam away from me, so I continued with other subjects. I noted that the drake was approaching, and took up a position where I could catch a glimpse of him through the foliage. This was the result - one of the closest encounters I've had with a hooded merganser!
The Canadian Rockies are world renowned for their rich turquoise-colored lakes. The rich color is created by the density of rock flour suspended in the water.
That day we hiked the relatively easy and short Valley of the Five Lakes Trail in Jasper National Park, immersed ourselves into nature and saw five beautiful glaciated lakes up close.
Picture was taken at the Third Lake, where a set of the iconic red Adirondack chairs of the Canadian National Parks system were perched on the edge of the lake.
As luck would have it, as soon as we arrived, two men took up seats. It was a hot day so one even took his shirt off and hung it on the back of the chair. I lingered around for 15 minutes at least, hoping they would leave but they showed no sign to. As I was about to give up hope, they left the chairs and stood next to the tree with the shirt remaining dangling on the back of the chair. They were admiring the lake, so I quickly walked up, brushed his shirt down to the chair, snapped a quick closeup photo, and walked away quickly. I wonder if the man ever questioned why his shirt fell down!😁😁😁
I recognize the composition is not ideal but I am happy I got my shot!
On a different note, we finally arrived home late last night, after making a 9,787 miles (115,897 km) road trip. I can tell you that I sure missed my King size bed!☺️
Thank you for your visit and please enjoy the rest of the weekend!

In this capture you can see a satellite that fades into few as the sunlight starts to hit it and then it proceeded quickly across the night sky in this extended exposure.
Quick snap of a Robin in the garden when we had a bit of snow. Hopefully get some proper bird photos this year, would especially like some of dippers and curlews.

To test out the bounce flash settings I was using my brother-in-law was kind enough to pause for the quick portrait.

This European Goldfinch female appeared suddenly in front of me when I continued my walk outside Karkarook Park behind some industrial storage sheds. She sat only some 3-4 meters away and I almost panicked, desperately trying to focus with my 500mm lens. She allowed just two quick shots and disappeared.

So much snow the last few days that I'm starting to tire of it. The dogs , however, are still loving every minute.
