A few of these delightful pipits, were foraging across the recently cut grass, in front of the hide, just asking to have their photo taken, how could I refuse them! A bit smaller than a sparrow, with beautiful markings and colours , more than I have given them credit for in the past. Best viewed large!

Refuse pile behind CNC adjacent to Kelowna Rec Field, Kelowna, BC. Ironically, this perch is a trimmed branch that has been dumped here (legally). The buds are doing well in this abnormally warm December....
You've got my back!
January 19 update:Unable at present to identify this one by (my given) name(s)....
Trying second shutter setting - I think I like the 1/50 better less firework trails. Also fast enough that there is no camera shake for surrounding images.
Side note: I don't know how much of my tax dollars went into this display but I read that our town paid out $100,000 in legal fees after firing a local employee who refused get vaccinated during the covid outbreak (yes one of those idiots) then later sued our town through union for wrongful dismissal. So here are two examples of our tax dollars going up in smoke.

One of my favorite places to wander is Pinnacles National Park.
I loved finding this boulder as it looked like a ship that had just landed.
I asked my wife to stand beneath it for the photo, but she politely refused.
Shooting on film always has it's challenges. I have a beautiful little Pentax ME Super 35mm camera that is an absolute joy to handle. Nice as it is I recently decided I'd sell it as I have about 20 film cameras and there is a certain amount of pressure being applied by my loving wife to clear the decks a little.
And so as I was listing the camera on eBay i gave it one last check to make sure it was all working and low and behold I took one shot and the mirror promptly stuck and refused to flip down. I tried this and that and couldn't get it to work so I put the listing up on eBay, selling for very cheap as "spares and repairs" and described the problem I had with it. Now photographers are a notoriously friendly and helpful lot and a day or two later I got a message from a photographer in Portugal who said he'd had the same problem with an ME Super that he had owned and described a fix. And wouldn't you know it, it worked. The mirror returned to it's rightful position and it appeared to work again.
I didn't want to list it again without putting a roll of film through it to make sure it all worked as it should so on a recent trip to the Natural History Museum in London I loaded it up with some B&W film and snapped away, shooting the whole roll. Well, I sent it off to be developed and disappointingly when the scans came back they were virtually all horribly underexposed. So now I find that the meter isn't working properly. C'est la vie (this time it really will be listed as "Spares and repairs". :)
All of that brings me to this picture and the concept of "happy accidents" which I've alluded to before. This grainy shot of the exterior of the museum building was probably 2 or 3 stops underexposed but there is something about the look of it that I absolutely love. I can't explain it but view it full screen on your computer screen and tell me I'm wrong. So for me at least, a happy accident.

Latterly the spare/back up vehicle for the Northern Parishes Refuse Collection Board. Don't think this has long in this world.
The Tita Secchi bivouac is built entirely of wood and is located at the Portole pass which can be reached from the Maniva Pass.
It is dedicated to the memory of the Brescian partisan Tita Secchi killed at the age of 29 and his comrades in arms of the Perlasca Brigade.
Born in Bologna but raised in Brescia, great mountaineering enthusiast, he organized a partisan group of the Perlasca Brigade in the Bagolino area. Captured on August 26, 1944 following the fascist roundup, he had the opportunity to be released upon payment of a large sum by his family, but he refused, placing the condition that his comrades were also released.
He was shot in Brescia on September 16 with five other comrades.
Another collection of People, Posters, Bikes and other things that I've seen in the streets plus a few shadows (these are harder to come by). Have a good weekend.
it will have to make itself clear :-)

Daffodil, or botanically Narcissus, is March's celebrated flower. Daffodils are the mark of spring and usually known by white or yellow petals surrounding a yellow, pink or white center.
Narcissus is named after the character from Greek mythology who was said to have been so in love with his own reflection that he was turned into a flower. It is said that these flowers appear to face downward because Narcissus refused to look up from his own image reflected in the stream where he became frozen and withered in time.
