I was so disappointed a few days ago when I went to Bowness Park to see if the small, (possibly hybrid) Silver Maple tree had turned red yet. We don't have the glorious reds of fall here in Calgary, but I was told about this single tree last year and managed to get a few photos of the vivid red leaves. However, this fall, almost every leaf is badly damaged, plus they had not yet reached full colour. These were about the only two leaves fit to be photographed : (

Climate Action Day observed
Drawing attention on the need to reduce carbon in the atmosphere to a scientifically determined safe level of 350 ppm, the International Day of Climate Action was observed in the country yesterday.
Different social and environmental organisations held different programmes in the city and across the country to mark the day.
With the slogan of "Change Behavior, Not Climate," Work for a Better Bangladesh (WBB Trust) organised a colourful rally from National Museum to TSC of Dhaka University with participation of a large number of children from different parts of the city.
Prottyasa Madok Birodhi Sangathan, Nirapad Development Foundation, Nature Loving People (NLP), Green Voice, Swabhumi, Safe Bangladesh, and other environmental organisations, participated the rally with banners and festoons inscribed different slogans including 'Save the balance of climate and save the environment' and 'Save the coastal people'.
The rally was addressed, among others, by Ibnul Syed Rana, chairman of Nirapad Development Foundation, Syed Saiful Alam Suvan, programme officer of WBB Trust, Humaoun Kabir Somuon, Syeda Ananya Rahman, Mohammad Alamgir and Maruf Ahmed.
The speakers said that the temperatures are rising and storms are worsening due to the whimsical behaviour of human beings. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising day by day and due to the reason Bangladesh is likely to go underwater within a short peroiod, As a result, a large number of coastal people of the country will be homeless, they added.
They also said that the climate changes are going to worsen because people are burning fossil fuels - diesel, petrol, natural gas and coal - at rapid rates. So the future generations are now under threat.
They stressed on the importance of changing behaviour to balance the climate to raise attention to the 350 ppm target for reducing climate change.

The northern end of the main platform connecting concourse at Birmingham New St Railway Station.
The lower numbered platforms form part of what was the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) whilst the southern part of the station - higher numbered platforms - were the Midland Railway (MR) part of the station.
The giant wall screen in the Crystal Lobby on the cruise ship was used for Wii games throughout the day.
I noticed the "Change Mii" display - is that all it takes - the push of a button to "change mii" ?
(not a very clear shot, the hares are skittish these days and don't hold still for a moment...)
Even the wildlife are in the throes of changing seasons. The snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) cannot hide anymore, as their fur is changing to winter white in advance of their surroundings.
It's a hard time of year for them because they are so easily seen, and because of their great abundance this year.
Owls, foxes and other predator populations have also grown in direct response to the hare 'boom', and are taking a great toll on the hares.
The great circle of life.
This is the hallway leading to the changing rooms at Detail (a clothing store in Kanazawa). Pretty slick.

New story, new amusement...
Her imagination goes so fast, she's wonderful!
Electric power eased farm work, especially milking. Farmer-owned electric cooperatives brought power to farms. The Clay-Union Electric Cooperative was South Dakota’s first in 1936. Electric power ended the toil of drawing water, cutting ice, and doing homework by table lamp. Milking machines allowed farmers to boost production by milking more cows. The Changing Time Gallery invites visitors a try their hand at milking the cow!
Trying WN tubes watercolor , but in your opinion, wich palette is the best? I would say the one on the right...

I found out last week that Coinstar will waive their fee if you take your money as an Amazon.com giftcard. I decided to start a coin jar just to buy goodies on Amazon.com. So far, it has around $10 in change in it.
Every now and then this year I have walked out onto one of the piers at the Lower Lake at the Rudan nature reserve to photograph this view. The 18-storey apartment building Brf Blicken is changing the view of central Handen. I shot this with the silent zoom lens at maximum zoom, nine photos stitched together.
