The Tamaracks are acknowledging the season in glorious colour now, our forests are dripping with gold. They have turned a bit later than usual - all the other trees have already dropped their leaves on the ground save for a stubborn few.
This particular Tamarack is in our backyard ... we transplanted it about 10 years ago and it is thriving in its new location. My American friends may know the tree by another name - the Eastern or Black Larch.

I love when i find something to collab with - so i came across this lil fella Charlie just standing around and thought he would make a perfect collaborator and boy was I right.
So I would like to thank Charlie from Consignment for his patience for the days he had to stand there and hold the lighting for this pic.
And i would be remiss if i didn't acknowledge the background artists GiGi the giraffe, Ella the elephant and Pepe the parrot for their commitment to their craft standing around without saying a peep.

Maturity starts with self-awareness. Understand and acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses; your failures and successes; your preferences, your dislikes, and your interests. Accept yourself as you are, not as a limitation, but as the foundation for everything that yet maybe. Understand that you may not have had full control of your past, but it was what it was. Liberate yourself from the guilt of self-blame. Your past has helped you become what you are today. Know yourself, know what you want, do what you have to do. Let others worry about their perceptions of your reality. That is their problem. For you, only your own perception of you matters. Be the best you that you can be. Only you will know when you have accomplished this.
Everglades Snail Kites are a highly endangered bird in Florida! They are now referred to as Snail Kites and get their name for the fact that they feed almost exclusively on Apple Snails! They are a victim of poor water management, including water quality, high water levels, extremely low water levels. The water that is of extremely poor quality is because of recycling of farm water!
We were luck enough to see these Snail Kites mating on one of our trips to STA 5 in the wonderful early morning light!! As always thanks for looking and we will see you on Thursday!!

Terrace Falls are located near Lawson and Hazelbrook, small towns approximately 90 kilometers (1.5 hour drive) from Sydney.
Falls are accessible by the short 800 meter walk from the bottom of Terrace Falls Road, or from the other side, Valley Road Hazelbrook. There are now gates on both sides to
stop the dickheads that either dump cars or rip up the unsealed fire trail
The walking track starts approximately half way between these two gated. There are two entry points along the track and it just depends from which Road you access it from.
The track itself is a beautiful example of temperate rainforest with many flowering native mountain plants, fungi, birds and sunning reptiles. Don't forget to look out for the colourful freshwater crustacean, locally known as the yabbie!!!
This walk has come rather rich and lush moss and lichens, not to mention the wonderful tree ferns!
Take your time and scamper up and down rocks, stop, listen and just chill to experience a true Blue Mountains experience!!! You might even get lucky as I did and witness the majestic Lyrebird.

There are always some you know in your neighborhood and others you don't know but wonder about...maybe you look for them and hope their day is going ok. Maybe you know when they like to acknowledge the outside world and make a point to sync your own timeline with their. Well, I do this with cats. In the short time that I spent in Furrydelphia, I looked for this furrball every day and he was always looking for the sun around mid day. I have a ton of photos like this where the reflections created a nuisance but I hope my fondness for this magnificent beast comes through here, and I hope this cat is still doing well!

"Haka is a ceremonial dance in Māori culture. It is often performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted or chanted accompaniment. Although popularly associated with the traditional battle preparations of male warriors, haka have been traditionally performed by both men and women and for a variety of social functions within Māori culture. Haka are performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions, or funerals."

Pitt River
British Columbia

Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.

A day to acknowledge the role that squirrels play in nature and the environment all over the world.
Red Squirrel / Europäisches Eichhörnchen (Sciurus vulgaris)
in the bird feeder in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
Marpissa muscosa is a species of jumping spider.
Marpissa muscosa, female.
On average, females have body length ranging from 7.5–14mm, whereas males have a body length ranging from 6–8.1mm. Both sexes are coloured grey to brown. The whole spider has a furry appearance and is flattened in shape.
The species builds a kind of nest under the bark of dead trees. Up to 100 of these nests can occur side by side. As other species of Marpissa spiders, it demonstrates a social hierarchy: weaker animals will acknowledge their inferiority by strutting their front legs and slowly retreating from the scene. Early environmental conditions shape personality types in the developing spiders.

Yellow-rumped warbler... looking pretty smart and trim in his new breeding plumage. I must have seen at least thirty of these guys during the weekend at my aunt’s house (along with seven other warbler species) and it was really fun to watch them. They’re variable foragers, and can switch from hawking insects in the canopy to hopping around on the ground in an instant. This versatility makes them a little unpredictable, though, so it took me a while to get close to one before it shot back up into the canopy. Glad this male decided to acknowledge my efforts.

Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281. Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.
Point Roberts was created when the United Kingdom and the United States settled the Pacific Northwest American-Canadian border dispute in the mid-19th century with the Oregon Treaty. Both parties agreed the 49th parallel would delineate both countries' territories, but they overlooked the small area that incorporates Point Roberts (south of the 49th parallel). Questions about ceding the territory to the United Kingdom and later to Canada have been raised since its creation but its status has remained unchanged.

I have never leaned on anyone
I have stood strong in myself and in my being
And been growing as a human being
And why haven't I leaned on anyone, well
Because my surroundings have been like it has been from the very start
The Viking Queen was born from day one
Acknowledging the fact that I can be my own cliff has been important for me and how I have dealt with things
Being aware of that I am my own cliff is also an important thing for my own growth
We often act and do things without thinking, was this a good thing or what
You will find respect for yourself if you dwell a bit and look within and find the resources you actually have
But realizing that others 'out there' also can be a Cliff in my life is pretty awesome
Two Cliffs may become one
How cool isn't that
Staying strong is a different experience when you are more than one, I would think
I have never experienced that before
Often we don't even realize that we have Cliffs in our lives
I cherish what I have and look forward to the future cliff 'out there'

A hole left in the heart of White Rock
The beloved, 114 yr old landmark pier in White Rock, BC Canada was severely damaged by a windstorm that ripped through Metro Vancouver, BC Canada on December 20th, 2018
The White Rock Pier is a historic landmark dating back to the 1920's and one of White Rock's finest tourist attractions boasting over 1,540 feet of boardwalk.
In this scene, you will notice some of the remains of many destroyed sailboats.
During the storm the boats were ripped away from an attached dock, at the end of the pier, and were aggressively tossed around, beaten and smashed to pieces, by the high force winds and rough waves.
