I have noticed a significant decline in the local mosquito population over the last two days. This is a great sign! It's also a sign that our two week long season known as autumn will be here soon followed quickly by . . . nevermind. The sandhill cranes are filling the sky, the night is darkening, and morning air is crisp. After a very wet, humid, bug-filled summer our daily walks are becoming very pleasant again.
I'm kind of bored so I thought I would post one of my unposted images from April. This was shot with Alysha Nett before she moved out of state.

Dyce, Aberdeen. Seems to be a horizontal scratch running along the top of the picture. What the fuck?
The boreal owl is named for its northern habitat, the boreal forest. It is one of three small owls in Alaska, about eight to nine inches long, with a wing spread of 21 to 24 inches. The other small owls are the saw-whet owl, which lives in Southcentral coastal and southeastern areas, and the pygmy owl, which only lives in Southeast Alaska. Female boreal owls average 6.4 ounces and are larger than males at 3.8 ounces. It has a dull white facial disk with almost black upper corners and raised white eyebrows, giving it a surprised look. The top of the head has numerous small white spots. The bill is light-colored.
Out for my daily walk and it was warm enough to take my camera. When I stopped for a break I was rewarded with a small flock of mixed chickadees, some black capped and some boreal.
Hooray, after a 6 week absence, though low in the sky, we have been getting the sun lately and spring is on the way! Don't tell that to this Boreal Chickadee though, as it was minus 33 C this morning. Normally, I see the Black-capped ones at the feeder, and this is the first Boreal, so I am thrilled. The two species look similar but the Boreal has a brown head and brown feathers on its side, key features that show up well in the image. This one had his feathers erected to provide extra insulation from the bitter cold and cover his legs, giving him a somewhat rounded appearance. Called "piloerection", this is one of the many coping strategies that northern birds employ to survive the harsh winter.

This was shot inside a Cedar grove and it was rather dark, so I used flash to balance out the lighting.

Early on I had purchased a film scanner and worked on some of my old slide images..... I just never got the hang of it or maybe I expected the results to look cleaner and more like digital captures, but I quickly lost interest...
This is a digital capture from 2009 and the next image is from a slide shot in 1996....
Nanny: What's all the shouting about?
Snappy: He won't get off the laptop.
Nanny: And that's a reason to shout?
Snappy: It isn't fair! I don't have anything to do and he keeps hogging it. I want to play my game.
Nanny: But I just saw Slouchy turn on the laptop five minutes ago. Can't you watch TV with Baby?
Snappy: That's boring.
Nanny: You could listen to the radio, or play one of your CDs.
Snappy: That's just as boring.
Nanny: You could help me in the kitchen with the dishes.
Snappy: That's REALLY boring. Why can't Slouchy help you with dishes? I'll play my game.
Slouchy: That's okay, Nanny. I could come in the kitchen with you. I like doing the dishes.
Nanny: No, I think it's important that Snappy learn how to entertain himself with something besides his games. You keep where you're at for an hour, Slouchy. I think Snappy is going to spend the next few minutes in the kitchen with me and the dishes. If there's any time left over, he can figure out what to do away from the computer.

I went out today hoping to find a Boreal Chickadee. I was glad to find this guy so close on the north Whitemud Trail.
Yesterday, I had a great day of shooting winter birds with Ken Hansen, Raymond Lee and Bernd Schwanke.
The shots below the Chickadee shots are some of the birds we saw together yesterday.

These are from a job with Steve Jolley Builders. A most excellent and lavish deck. What these are are the planters which are about 10 or so feet. Framed and surrounded by an aggregate faux stone called Boral. Swaaanky! More of the finished product to come...
I capture this portrait shot when I was on my way back home though Tangdao Bay Wan Park (Huangdao District of Qingdao, China) during the National Holiday time.
I saw this young girl, alone, who doesn't look lonely as she was busy with her mobile phone. I tried to understand why did she decide to go to this place if it is to spend all her time texting on her phone. No need to think to much, we are in China where mobile phone is part of all the people life and seems to be one of the most important things for Chinese now. Everything go through phone and clues of mobile addiction can be seen everywhere. It will take time for me to accept that social life is no more physical but digital.
The entrance to an exhibition of works from Anne-Louis Girodet in the Art Institute in Chicago. There are not only some but many, many romantic masterpieces that get a little tiring after a while.
This is a lab scan from a negative. I wasn't satisifed with either the scans (noise!) or my own trials to get the colors at least into the reagion of "authentic". So I simply uploaded the original (after noise reduction). I now like the smooth yellow glow.
