Rainy days can be so boring, when you don't like rain and have to spend the day indoors!

Severn Bore Surfing at Old Passage in Gloucestershire, England.
The River Severn has the third highest tidal reach in the world. Twice a day the tide comes in and causes a wave, called The Bore. On Spring Tides the wave is big enough to surf.
It was a cold day, I didn't feel like climbing out of the truck. I didn't feel like rolling down the window. I actually wanted to get home. I shot through the windshield, hoping to catch that last afternoon subarctic light. I think the windshield gives it a kind of tilt-shift effect.
Boreal Chickadee, Algonquin Provincial Park, Feb 23, 2017
The rain stopped and the fog lessened enough for me to get this shot of a boreal chickadee. A lifer for both Anne and me.
Poecile hudsonicus
The oldest recorded Boreal Chickadee was at least 5 years, 4 months, when it was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Nova Scotia.
Well I went to pick up GP at work...so while I was waiting for him to come out I got bored....so...always carry a camera with you and wham....take it out and start shooting and playing ....this is the result :-) No, you don't need to get your eyes checked it's blurry on purpose.
(more to come!)
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments however, awards and invites aren't necessary.

Le chasseur !!
Le jour n'est pas encore levé, une belle atmosphère règne dans le boiser. J'ai eu la chance de la trouver rapidement et cette scène était juste magique :)
J’aime être dans le bois avant le lever du jour, pour maximiser mes chances car les chouettes et hiboux sont encore actifs.
Mais c'est aussi une atmosphère qui met mes sens en éveilles et j'aime ses moments :)
Encore plus avec cette découverte !!

On Dec 27th and 28th I went to Votier's Flats in search of the American Dipper that had been reported. One of my friends had some very nice photos of it. Not me! I could not locate it. I really enjoyed getting out while the weather was still bearable. It is way too cold now!
Thanks for your visits and comments! They are greatly appreciated
We woke early on Saturday morning to go visit my wife's brother and wife that live about 3 hours away. As we were getting ready to leave, I called my wife over to look at the grey jays flying around a cottonwood tree. She said, "that isn't a grey jay, that's a boreal owl." I didn't even see the owl sitting on the broken branch! Grabbed the camera and took a few photos before we had to leave. By the way, it was -35f when this photo was taken. The owl looked like it's feathers were fluffed up to keep warm. I really hope this is a sign of our spring and summer to come, fox, owls and who knows what else will visit our 5 acres! So far, I'm very hopeful!
The Boreal owl is about 9 inches tall, one of the smaller owls of Alaska. We have an owl box in our front yard, so we are hoping this owl and it's mate use our box for more little owls later this year.
I was bored and thought my picture in flickr is getting old. I hardly ever use my lumix anymore yet my avatar has it that camera in the picture.
So. I threw this together.
Strobist:
Behind me there are two SB-600 @ F16 cross lighting the wall to blow it to white. Both are flaged to not spill light on me. (I wasn't looking for any rim light)
In front of me just out of frame from the top is a wescott 46 umbrella with a SB-800 @F10 on a boom (home made :P). I needed F10 to keep everything in focus from the tip of the lens to the eyes. F10 was necessary given 200mm.
In the bottom there is a SB-28 @F10 shooting at a gold card on the floor to bounce and fill the areas under my arm and under my chin a bit.
All the above is triggered through the Cactus V4.
Post process:
Took a shot of the color checker passport from x-rite under the same lighting condition and did a profile to make sure I am okay in color. I couldn't see much change. Also added my logo.
Hope you have a great weekend.
We weren't sure if we would find this beautiful little Boreal Owl yesterday. Definitely never expected to find the Owl perched (on her prey) only 3 feet up from the ground and less than 10 feet away! What an awesome experience with an awesome friend.
It was a real treat to observe up to 3 Boreal Chickadees at once upon a recent visit to the Sax-Zim Bog area in northern Minnesota. This was likely the most time I'd invested in observing these hard to find "northern cousins" of our more common Black-capped Chickadee. Save for the far northern corners of some states, this bird is found mostly in Canada and Alaska. They are non-migratory, meaning they reside in the same area(s) despite the season.

I'm not afraid anymore
What makes you sure you're all I need?
Forget about it
When you walk out the door and leave me torn
You're teaching me to live without it
Bored, I'm so bored, I'm so bored, so bored
I'm home alone, you God knows where
I hope you don't think that shit's fair
Giving you all you want and more
Giving you every piece of me
But I will never can afford
I just want you to love for free
Can't you see that I'm getting bored?
Giving you every piece of me, piece of me
The Boreal Chickadee has got to be one of my favorite birds! I was thrilled to get great looks at a pair along Haines Rd in the Northwestern corner of British Columbia.
A friends owl box has an occupant. Of course, the owl box at my house remains unoccupied as it has for the last 40 years!
Just a light scratch on the tree and she bounces out, I suspect to deal with what she assumes is a squirrel.
Is this the most boring photo I have ever posted? Perhaps yes....but there is something I don't hate about it.
The Brides of Dracula dolls idle away the days and weeks between photo shoots with hands of poker... unfortunately all that they have to play with are Tarot cards which makes it a dangerous game; get a full house and someone's likely to die!
"I swear he's forgotten about us - we didn't even get a Xmas party down here in the lab this year," mutters the Contessa
"And all those Poppy Parker dolls he's been buying but he hasn't given us even one to 'play' with! It's not fair... damn it Igor, hold still", hisses Mina.
"Sorry mistress," the hunchback apologises from under Mina.
"Damn, you've got a lumpy, uncomfortable back."
"Sorry mistress. It's not my fault, I was made this way," Igor moans.
"Yes, that'll be my fault, sorry," says the Contessa, "so Lucy, what's your call?"
"...bored bored bored bored bored..." chants Lucy.
