For a brief period of time, Autumn denuded trees along the Bow river shimmer like silver bells on a Christmas tree. Like the Horse Tail in Yosemite or the red Maple leaves of Northern Ontario's Autumn, this moment takes shape and lasts for a few brief days. If the day is overcast as many are during this period, the chance encounter waits another year. However, like most who have lived in their location for a while, one gets to know the terrain and can capitalize on the moment.
The afternoon low level sun rays penetrate the riverbed trees, while a background hill throws the forest into shade. Gnarled tree trunks are blackened and the thin branches catch the afternoon sunlight for just a brief time. The ground grasses appear to be on fire as they turn brown preparing for their winter respite. And, for just a brief time, a unique opportunity presents itself.

Just north of our city we hardly notice these hills as we drive past on the motorway but towards the end of the day they are worth a look.
Getting Started with some Halloween photos. I'm feeling inspired by scary movies this year. So I'm starting things off with Silver Bullet. The story of a Werewolf Priest and the boy who knows to much.
I had a wonderful morning yesterday, alone on the beach, a stye scudding showers scattered the other hesitant beach walkers. I had to endure a few wet episodes, but the wind was so strong it wasn't long till the sun peeped from behind the silver lined clouds, bathing me in Silver Joy by Damien Jurado.
A distant reminder of high-summer - a late-afternoon mating pair on the heathland at Iping Common in West Sussex (UK) (8456)
This is Bheinn a Chlaidheimh taken from the slopes of An Teallach as the clouds built up in the afternoon. I loved the corniced ridge to the left of the summit, and also these beautiful wisps of cloud that mirrored the slopes. It's all part of the great wilderness and is a place I'd love to explore! The track Silver Joy by Damien Jurado seemed right!
This Silver Fox is one of two captive foxes at Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. For various reasons they cannot be returned to the wild. Silver Foxes are melanistic versions of red foxes and occur naturally in nature on a ratio of about 1:4.

This species and the idas blue P. idas, pose plenty of identification issues. Both species are widespread and often common. Variation between individuals and colonies is marked in both species, with plenty of overlap possible.
Identification & Similar species: Separation is sure with the one character which is constant - the male foreleg tibia has a hook in the current species which is never present in P. idas. Other characters offer guidance for separating the males. The upperside male black border is fine and the upperside hindwing space 7 largely blue in P. idas the border often much broader and space 7 lacks blue in P. argus.
Small and old tarnished silver whistle. Lighting inspired by Brian of www.flickr.com/photos/macro-merriment/49881114708 His lighting and experiment with his new softbox kicked me out of bed this morning.
Not sure how the silver chain’s bokeh balls (above) appear on top of the whistle. If this is a physics thing, don’t try to explain ;-)
Lighting: two lights on stands triggered by off-camera strobe. Softbox prevents bright hot spots and bounces light all around the whistle.
Off briefly for our grocery pickup--a trip in the car!

Well, an upload of images wouldn't be complete without one of my ferns included in it would it?
This beauty is an incredible colour and stays silver and grey when it is unfurled. In the twilight of a summer evening it is magical, glowing a soft silver, making my garden look enchanted. I have had this one a long time, and long forgotten its name, but kept in the shade and out of the wind it looks beautiful every year.
