Messing around with Analogue Efex, working with a photo that was "far less then perfect"... I was quite a distance away as well, all I could do at the moment...

Monday, 23 December 2019: more fresh snow has fallen, so everywhere looks like a winter wonderland. A day to stay off the roads, I'm sure, but I have an appointment for a desperately-needed haircut later today. Temperature this morning is -3C (windchill -5C) and, like yesterday, we are under a Fog Advisory. Sunrise is at 8:38 am and sunset is at 4:32 pm.
Five of the six photos posted this morning were taken six days ago, when six of us travelled in two cars (which turned out very fortunate!!) down south of Calgary to the High River area. It was the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for High River, on 17 December 2019. A few days ago, I posted photos of the beautiful sunrise that greeted us when we started the Count at the first location, Frank Lake.
Some years, we have a beautiful hoar frost to start this Count, but not this time. The only birds seen at Basin 1 were 4 extremely distant Mallards and 1 Grebe (Horned or Eared) that was too far away to ID exactly.
After checking out the outflow and the blind, we drove to the area half way down the west side of Frank Lake. Part way along this back road, the 'road' becomes a nightmare, no matter what time of the year! I never, ever go on it. Having uttered what a terrible road to drive along, my words were proven to be so accurate. I knew it - we were stuck in a deep, frozen rut with the front wheels in the air. After pushing and digging didn't work, we knew that there was only one thing left. The other car drove along the edge of the field to get behind us and tied a towing rope to 'our' vehicle. Thank goodness this was successful - just a shame that we lost quite a lot of valuable birding time.
The rest of the day was spent driving various backroads, and calling in at several farms. No matter how many Great Horned Owls one sees, it is always a real treat to see one. We ended up seeing six of them by the end of the day.
Many thanks, Jim, for driving all day and for the extra bit of birding after the count had ended - too bad that we couldn't find a Snowy Owl. Strange how our group didn't go to the farm that we always go to last on this Count.

These are the two wolves we gave the wolf popsicles to. It's cool to get both of them in the same shot looking the same direction. The picture feels a bit off balance, but it still seems clear enough to me. Only the paw looks blurred and that's because it's moving, of course. Zooming in, I could still see the one wolf's eyes fairly clearly, so I decided not to scrap it. It was a tough call on this one.
The reason we gave these two wolves the bottles and not the others is because this was the only enclosure that had just two wolves in it. If we put them in one of the enclosures that had three wolves, they would have fought over them. Next time we'll try to bring three so the other wolves can have a treat too. Then again, they're not hard to make. I'm sure Tonya might give the rest of the wolves some frozen water bottles before we drop by again.
Anyways, I like this shot because of how they're both proudly standing, looking like the kings of their domain.
Two small plants of Milligania lindoniana (redflower milligania) and Milligania densiflora (silky milligania) growing next to each other in snow patch vegetation on Walled Mountain, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park, Tasmania.
M.lindoniana (on the left) is a smaller plant with much much whiter lower leaf surfaces than the larger and more common M.densiflora (right).
If this location is typical M.lindoniana appears to occupy much more open exposed herbfield locations than M.densiflora which occured more frequently amongst boulders or scrub.
The genus Milligania is endemic to Tasmania and is composed of five species, three alpine and two found in the western lowlands.

01292007: Two-and-a-half years ago Ashwin and I hooked up. For the second time, actually. Just when I started giving up at the end of the night, thought I had ruined it forever, planning on getting drunk - he grabbed my hand and kissed me. We've been, as they call it her in NL, "two hands on one belly" ever since.
01302007: Today I took care of some business - at work bus also private. Then we had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants for my mother-in-law's birthday. Hooray!

I sold two cars this week... my 1979 450SLC 5.0, and 1983 300Dt with 4 speed transmission. Both were very interesting cars and will be missed. They are shown here waiting for their ride to their new homes.
Now, to find some new projects!
