Flickr, hurry up and fix Stats - this is the fourth day in a row that the views in the Stats have plummeted, but not the views seen under each photo.
Well, the weather forecast for Kananaskis for the day before yesterday, 24 September 2019, was not exactly accurate - sun, with cloud in the afternoon. They kind of forgot to mention the strong wind, light rain .... and SNOW! For a few minutes, it was one kind of weather, then a few more minutes of a different kind, repeated throughout the afternoon.
Our temperatures are falling - forecast for rain tomorrow, then three days of snow with temps down to 0C and -1C. What a way to celebrate the first few days of fall. The expected snow will probably remove quite a few of the golden leaves, so I wanted anther chance to see and photograph them while I had the chance.
The sky was blue when I set out that morning and I felt quite hopeful. When I go to Kananaskis, I always go south from the city. I had no idea where I would be going, but I knew that it wouldn't be as far as I would have liked. As it turned out, I had a few surprises along the way, so it was a real mixed day of photo opportunities - my favourite kind of day.
After stopping to take a few scenic shots on the way to the main highway through Kananaskis, I eventually reached the area where the American Pikas live. I really lucked out almost straight away, as the only few photos I took were when one Pika showed itself, and that was within maybe ten minutes. By this time, the wind was strong and it was snowing, and it was cold! Time to get out of there, as the scree slope is treacherous enough on a calm, clear day.
Driving further north, I was delighted to see a convoy of maybe eight or ten beautiful old cars heading in my direction. Couldn't resist, so I followed them when they turned off into a small picnic area. I asked if I could take a few quick photos and they were happy enough for me to do that. One car owner did comment about blurry photos because of the falling snow, but surprisingly my photos came out sharp enough.
Further on, I made a quick stop at another pull-off and was happy to notice a few mushrooms. When I turned around to head for home, I was even happier. I pulled over to take a photo of one of the mountain peaks. One tiny white speck in the distance, just off the road, caught my eye. When I went to check it out, I found myself staring at a little group of Shaggy Mane/Inky Cap mushrooms. The largest one had already started the process of curling up the rim of its cap and dripping a black ink. So much rain this year has resulted in such an amazing fungi season.
Much closer to home, I decided to take a side road that has such beautiful hill and mountain views. An old wooden barn was a welcome surprise - I don't remember seeing this one before.
So, a lovely day out, driving 320 km, with such a mixture of weather and sightings. So glad I did decide to go - as usual, a very last minute decision, but basically, I just need to grab my cameras and go : )

One of my locals decided to renew his driveway with the help of a "Small Building Projects" builder from Windsor, by the name of James H Kelleway.
Cracking job but a massive amount of work for two people. Eagle Plant hire equipment folks supplied a dumpster truck and digger complete with a "pecker" attachment to break up sections of concrete and move materials around, for the first week.
The job was over 8 weeks work but split up by Christmas break. As usual mission creep sets in with a new fence being installed as well as a soak-away for rain water with a gulley.
A lot of materials and lorry loads delivering scalpings for foundations, sand cement, fencing, and of course thousands of blocks which were all laid individually with edgings that are cemented boundaries to keep the blocks in place.
Anyway with a great opportunity to film it - so here is the result.
Film info:- filmed with iPhone 13 Pro Max, some sections with Moondog Anamorphic lens which finally arrived from America during the project.
Various apps used to film it , Protake for time-lapse sections, Filmic Pro for others, Beast Cam until I found it was not recording stereo sound, and the standard Apple video App with the new Cinematic features were tested out.
Edit work all done on Apple Final Cut Pro X. Copyright free music from FCPX.
It was a pretty cold time on a few days but lucky for me I could go back home and warm up indoors !! But due to the very dry January only a couple of days were lost due to bad weather. A few frosty starts meant work had to be re-arranged until the sand thawed out.
Hope you enjoy the little film.
Any suggestions on improvements welcome to have comments.
My "fireplace" is only 4K, but on the other hand the Einstök Ölgerð beer stays cold.
Time to quit playing with the camera, and have a cold beer with a crackling fire on a Christmas evening.

This is Waikiki at Dusk Forever, a tiki cocktail created by Shelby Allison and Erin Hayes for Lost Lake in Chicago and published in Minimalist Tiki in 2019. This is part of the monthly cocktail book club and this one was selected by Jay of @the_mixlab for December. Generally speaking, tiki drinks can get type-casted as a summertime occasion, but I disagree and I believe that a lot of tiki mixology's success comes from its escapism. That's why I think this cocktail is a smart pick for this cold time of year. The flavors central to this cocktail are banana and coffee which mesh beautifully. These are enhanced with cinnamon and passion fruit as well as cream for some richness. Rum is the obvious spirit of choice but Allison and Hayes split this element into two overproof rums and a solid aged rum. It all comes together for a drink that is dangerously sippable for how rich and boozy it is. Whether you're looking for an escape or just a decadent treat, this cocktail should hit the spot.
1 oz aged rum (Lost Lake uses Angostura 7 year)
0.5 oz overproof aged jamaican rum (Lost Lake uses Smith & Cross)
0.5 oz Plantation O.F.T.D rum
0.5 oz banana liqueur (Lost Lake uses Giffard)
0.75 oz heavy cream
0.5 oz cold brew coffee (see note)
0.75 oz passion fruit syrup
0.5 oz cinnamon syrup
Combine all of the ingredient into a shaker tin. Add a small scoop of crushed or pebble ice and whip shake. Strain into a chilled tiki vessel of your choice. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, an orange peel, an edible orchid, cinnamon stick, and a banana slice (I didn't have all of these and so I improvised. I suggest you do the same)
Note: I didn't have cold brew coffee, but I did have a great coffee liqueur so I made the following substitutions and felt like it was very balanced:
0.5 oz coffee liqueur (Mr. Black FTW)
0.5 oz passion fruit syrup
0.25 oz cinnamon syrup

To help all my Northern Hemisphere contacts during this colder time of the year - pleased to present to you this lovely shoot I managed to do the other day with Natasha and Vivi.
That time of day when the snow turns blue....this was Blue Hour, late pm.
We've had a lot of snow lately, and the temps have remained cold...time to go around the neighborhood with the camera..
(Comment one has several shots)
Loved the Olympics...and now they're finished, ah but the World Cup is this summer:)
Thank you for your visit, I appreciate it!.....Pat...xo...

I had a car crash last Thurs....no one was hurt, but I won't get my car back for awhile so my choices are:
More house cleaning...^^~~~~~~
More photography !!!!!!!!!!!
More sports activity !!!!!!!!!!
Between being sick for a month and the car crash, this is a winter I won't forget....although I'd like to:)
I took this image last year while on a trip to The Richtersveld which is on the border of South Africa and Namibia. This is the Orange River. We are going there again next week and will be camping at this site.
I hope we don't have as much rain this time as we did then. It is a cold time of the year, but there aren't too many people that venture there at this time of the year, so desolation is perfect.
...roasted on an open fire, Jack Frost. Although no snow here, it is getting colder. Time for some raosted chestnuts.
Here's a wintry stop motion for the season! It was an impromptu idea to take them into the snow; I had wanted to do a stop motion video outside, but why did I have to choose such a cold time?! Lol. Since this video is short, I wasn't out there for hours, but my hands were about to fall off nevertheless, hahaha.
The idea is, Holly (Laughing Licca) is ecstatic for the snow to be here, so she can play, however, her friend, Alice, is from Japan and not used to Canada's winters! (Even though we're not in the coldest part of Canada, aherm! :P). Holly reminds Alice of the joy in embracing winter, snow, and all of the fun that comes with it! I'm sure by the end, Alice forgot all about the cold and they went happily along playing together =P (after they got some mittens!)
:P Hope you enjoy the little video~

An odd custom. The railings of a Paris bridge collapsed under the weight of this sort of thing. Nothing is permanent.
Seen on a trip to Manchester. It's nearly May and I'm cold. Time for coffee 😃

Erosion Patterns. Death Valley National Park, California. December 10, 2013. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Deeply furrowed erosion patterns in early morning light, Death Valley National Park
I spent some time photographing Death Valley National Park in mid-December, during a very cold time of the year. It is not unusual for the place to be surprisingly cold in the middle of winter, but this was a period of exceptional cold and it got down to 25 degrees in the Valley and much colder in some of the places I visited in the surrounding desert mountains. I had arrived the evening before I made this photograph, and a sequence of events on the drive it suggest an inauspicious beginning to this visit. I usually come in through Ridgecrest and then up through Trona. I usually drive almost straight through to Ridgecrest and then take a long, late lunch break there - getting my last espresso until I come back out of the park, filling up the gas tank, and so forth. I killed pretty close to an hour taking care of these odds and ends, and then started out of town toward Trona.
Less than a mile up the road I ran into a flashing warning sign announcing that this entrance to the park was closed! This necessitated a bit of backtracking and then travel north up US 395 to then head east toward the park on highway 190. I had originally planned to arrive by mid-afternoon, set up camp, and then photograph in the evening... but by the time I finished all of this driving it was dark when I arrived and I simply pulled into the campground and slept in my car. Early the next morning, feeling just a bit disconnected, I drove over towards 20 Mule Team Canyon where I knew I should be able to find some nice morning light. In fact I did, and I soon found this beautiful miniature landscape of nearly parallel gullies in a hillside along the canyon. As the first light hit the edges off the ridges between the gullies I found a composition that mostly filled the frame with them. I finished shooting here and moved on. At my next location, I finally must have engaged my brain, and I checked the camera to find that it had been left on ISO 3200 from my previous work photographing musicians backstage at a concert in natural light. Groan! So this photograph is one that I managed to salvage from that little escapade... and I'm grateful for the relatively good performance of modern cameras... even when the operator is not paying attention!

I worked part-time at REI for 5 years and these were two of my co-workers as we took a quick break on our way to the Mountaineers Route up Mt. Whitney. This was taken in mid-November, which is a c-c-c-c-cold time of year to try and climb this 14,497' mountain.
Emerald lake with its breathtaking views. Conditions are changing dramatically from nasty and cold time before sunrise to beautiful and warm morning with sun patches and scraps of fog everywhere
When I can, I bike the two miles into work from where I live on the mountainside, mostly downhill. What a strange, cold time it is to be biking this late in the year. When it comes to keeping warm, it's all about body temperature. You can go from zero to sweaty in sixty seconds. I passed a flag man with a Slow/Stop sign on my way into town. He turned it to Slow just as I was approaching and I shouted out as I zoomed by, "I'm not fast enough to be slow!"
There are times I feel that way, though my manic behavior and relentless conversation might seem to suggest otherwise. But the truth is, I spend a lot of time alone, a lot of long quiet nights and aimless wanderings through the countryside. I spend the last few hours of every night missing my wife, and the next hour or so before sleeping talking to her on the phone. You see, she's going to school in Chicago, so that she can work in a hospital and tell you what your unborn baby looks like (among other things). We won't be living together in what many people would consider "soon", but that doesn't bother me. What's important to me, more than anything else, is that she can do what she loves, like I do what I love.
I love to dream about her, but that doesn't happen often. My subconscious has other, stranger ideas, which I often turn into short stories that may or may not have a point. But if they do have a point (and I mean like an arrowhead or a spear) then it must be to drive me screaming into revelation, the honesty of self that hurts so much. I'm more honest now than I've ever been, but, oh, I'm dragging some shadows. People with darker insides might deny that, but denial won't get me or them any closer to the truth. That's what it's all about, the words, the images, the reason to wake up. I hope you're all feeling a little more awake these days.
Thursday, 21 May 2020: our temperature at noon is 5C (windchill -1C). Sunrise is at 5:37 am, and sunset is at 9:29 pm. Heavy rain continues, which adds to the melting snow coming down from the mountains, resulting in a risk of local flooding.
Yet again, it is such a wet, miserable day here today, 21 May. We are in for another rainy day tomorrow, so I'm not sure when I will be getting out anywhere, though I actually did get out briefly yesterday morning - to the car dealership! My 15-day wait for a car repair appointment ended, thank goodness, but they were unable to find anything wrong. One of the staff told me that she had just changed the power-start button in the same vehicle model as mine, for another customer. That was what I had wondered about, too. So, they are ordering in the right part for me and then will need to have my car in overnight. Luckily, it is still under warranty. Sooner or later, though, I will be seeing birds and other welcome things again, something that has happened on just a few scattered drives during the last two and a half months.
On the way home, I called in at Pies + Cafe to pick up several meat pies, quiche, chili, and fresh fruit salad. This little cafe uses fresh ingredients and is a favourite of mine. It is so important to support local small businesses, as they are all struggling at this difficult time.

I am adding the description that I added under a previously-posted photo taken on the same outing, to remind myself of where I went and what I saw.

Sitting in a tour, windy and cold time in December, sunsets in Letvia are amazing ! Colours are incredible !
The rose which blooms in winter.
近所の団地の植え込み野バラ。
いつも冬の寒い時期に花を付けます。
The rose of the shrubbery of the neighboring housing complex.
It always produces flowers at winter cold time.
I was inspired by this beautiful wonder. So when I found a hydrangea today looking brown and sorrowful but still delicate and wistful, I thought I'd see what I could do to cheer it up.
As Albert Sq.1 Looking towards German market. Freezing cold! Time and numb fingers prohibited finishing sketch but think captures festive Manchester...? About 1 hour.
Koo Stark was an attractive sexy actress who hit tabloid news headlines like Hurricane Andrew, when she dated Prince Andrew of Britain.
The never-warm British Royal Family gave her a Chilly Reception, possibly because of her risque (read chili hot erotic) movie roles. Though she looked like a (James) Bond Girl who could be in any Casino Royale remake, alas, for her, this story ended as a CatchNo Royal.
She reportedly had double masectomies and is involved in breast cancer awareness, but it is said she fell on hard times and lost her home.
The cold starkness of this winter sunset light image at my home reminds us how stark fate and how cold time can be.
Like the constant certainty of seasons of change,
Like rising tides of time that fall back in cold winter,
Angelic royal companions now timeless fallen angels,
By milky waysides of history, icy boardwalks of time...
This one's for you, Koo Stark.
