I did a closet count yesterday. Not counting shorts, skorts, rompers, or dresses I had 47 skirts ! I also have 27 tops to mix and match with those skirts which makes a lot of different outfits! I know this could be more than many women have but I still want to go out and get more ! LOL

Brighton beach - Dave is counting the fish he caught, using a bamboo stick in the pretty cold water at Brighton beach (cou can see the pier in the background).

I took this photo yesterday for Donna, as she didn't have a photo of a Mountain Chickadee on her hand. Made a lovely change from a more common Black-capped Chickadee. I have very few photos of Mountain Chickadees, as I so rarely see them and, when I do, they are too quick and hidden. Yesterday was actually a good day for seeing them and also Boreal Chickadees.
"The tiny Mountain Chickadee is a busy presence overhead in the dry evergreen forests of the mountainous West. Often the nucleus in mixed flocks of small birds, Mountain Chickadees flit through high branches, hang upside down to pluck insects or seeds from cones, and give their scolding chick-a-dee call seemingly to anyone who will listen."

It's that time of year when life becomes crazy, with very early mornings, long days and the exciting search for birds (and anything else). Yes, it's the time of Audubon Christmas Bird Counts.
Yesterday, 27 December 2016, nine of us took part in the annual Sheep River/Priddis/Turner Valley Christmas Bird Count.
Our time was spent travelling by car, driving the backroads SW of the city and calling in at several farms. I took part in this Count last year but had missed it for a few years before that. I believe I had only ever done it once before (December 2007?), a few years ago, and that time I was with friends covering a different section of the count circle. I remember it as being very slow and extremely unrewarding. This time, like last year, our area was in the centre of the count circle and I'm so glad I decided to go again.
A great stop was at Rod Handfield's place. Some of us go there on botany trips and he always has the best mushrooms and other fungi growing in his forest in the fall. Rod and his wife have such a beautiful cabin there. A Gray Jay gave us a few photo opportunities, which was appreciated. Rod is always so delightfully hospitable!!
Thanks so much, Donna, for driving half of us - so much appreciated! This also meant that we were lucky enough to see two tiny Northern Pygmy-owls after the Count, too. A beautiful sunny day really helped - not all that cold (for Alberta!). A lot of snow everywhere (almost 8"), but that was OK, as we did so little walking. A great day!
Today, I have a nice, leisurely day, before having to set my alarm for some unearthly hour (maybe around 4:15 am) for the next two mornings. Never a good thing for a dreadful night owl who gets to bed around 2:00 am!
I will add the list of species seen, in a comment box below.
When you have allergies, you might keep tab of things like high pollen counts in your area. But, if you are a hard-working Bumble Bee you couldn't be happier when that pollen count is up there!
Not only do I try to stay indoors when the pollen count is high, when there are stings that sting I try to avoid them, too. But, when one flies into your shot while trying to take a close up of some Lantana, you have to take advantage of the moment and then walk away calmy and carefully - and then hurry back indoors!
First outing for Sigma 12-24. No AF for the F50 and that's a bit tricky with the focusing. That's the moment I've waited, a bit of color in the sky and lights turned on. The lights were bright enough for the reflection. My verdict of the lens is not as good as the Nikon 24mm F2.8 Prime, in term of crisp-ness and clarity. Well, I need the Sigma for it's 12mm!

Torrechiara is a frazione of the comune of Langhirano, in the province of Parma, northern Italy. It is especially known for its massive castle, built by Pier Maria II Rossi (1413-1482), count of San Secondo, between 1448 and 1460.
The building was thought not only as a defensive structure, but also as mansion for the count's lover, Bianca Pellegrini, for which a famous hall, the Camera d'Oro ("Golden Chamber") was built with decorations by Benedetto Bembo, sibling of Bonifacio Bembo.
Scenes of the 1985 film Ladyhawke were shot at the castle.
The castle has four rectangular towers, connected by a double line of merloned walls. The inner court is called Cortile d'onore ("Courtyard of Honour"). The towers are the following:
Torre di San Nicomede, with the eponymous chapel. It guarded the plain towards Langhirano
Torre del Giglio ("Lily Tower"), so called for it sported Bianca Pellegrini's coat of arms.
Torre della Camera d'Oro ("Tower of the Golden Chamber"), with the chamber of Rossi and Pellegrini.
Torre del Leone ("Lion Tower"), facing north, which is the keep of the castle. It takes its name from Rossi's coat of arms.
The interior is characterized by numerous rooms decorated with fantastic, grottesco or naturalistic elements. On the first floor, together with the Salone dei Giocolieri ("Jugglers Hall"), is the Camera d'Oro ("Golden Chamber"), one of the most famous examples of erotic chambers in Italy. The fresco cycle in the lunettes portrays Bianca Pellegrini running her and Rossi's fiefs, searching for her lover: the paintings are attributed to Benedetto Bembo. The chamber opens onto a panoramic loggiato.

Abandoned places in Berlin
The former investigative and district court prison in Berlin Köpenick * 1899 was begun in Berlin-Köpenick with the construction of a district court and a prison and taken at the end of 1901 in operation. In May 1933, the SA took over the prison. She used it as a central detention and torture center. During this time, known as Blood Week, communists, dissenters, and Jews were maltreated and murdered behind thick brick walls.
At the time of the GDR, the building was initially used as a men's and youth prison and later converted as a remand prison. Since the eighties, the building is largely empty.
The dilapidated Berlin-Köpenick prison shows Spartan prison conditions at the time of the Emperors. No heating, no toilets, sleeping in dark, tiny cells on wooden bunks
Decades of decay have left their mark: once green and white paint peeling off the walls,
Cell to cell, four stories high, door latch and folding spy doors through which the guards watched the inmates.
If you were here, you whould not feel the need to come back here after the dismissal.

Candid street photography from Nuneaton, England.
Counting on his coin and counting on passing traffic at this 'short cut' between the town centre and the supermarket. Being at the top of some steps allowed for this perspective.
It's grim down south. I grew up with Nuneaton being the nearest urban centre and I had never, until this visit to my family, seen anyone begging there. Six homeless beggars were clustered in a short space in the town and half of the town was a no-go zone. Small and major stores closed and shuttered, former major retailers replaced with pound shops and charity shops. This was during Easter with children off school and I barely saw any. The town was almost exclusively full of brow-beaten elderly and disabled people and I saw nobody smile.
It is truly grim down south and I am genuinely pleased to be living in Scotland now, near to a big city where there is life, culture and style.

Don't think I'd be comfortable having this portrait on my wall...
Now, before anyone comments on that: yes, I did try to use the Nexo shield for his teeth, but I didn't like the look of them, so I decided to replace them with something smaller. It's not like I haven't used them as teeth already anyway in my Goomba, where I think they were a much better fit.

The iceberg - it’s synonymous with global warming and rightly so. It’s one of the most important markers in determining global warming rates.
It’s hard to imagine as I write this on a cold winter’s day that climate change is happening but it is. In fact, according to NASA just last week (climate.nasa.gov/news/2197/), the rate of glacier melt in West Antarctica has tripled in the last decade.
With rising global temperatures varying throughout the world, the Arctic’s climate system seems to be the most sensitive because of something called “feedback loops.” These are compared to vicious circles that either accelerate warming or decelerate the melting of ice. As more ice melts, more of the sun’s energy is absorbed which eventually leads to more warming and so on.
Thus, my iceberg. More and more of these guys are breaking off and finding their way to mainstream shipping lanes while damaging sensitive underwater ecosystems in their wake.
This humbling and stunning lagoon in Iceland called Jokulsarlon was the setting for this shot.
It sits at the head of the Breioamerkurjokull (say that one three times fast!) glacier which is melting at a rapid rate. Sixty years ago the 1.5 kilometre long lake that makes up the “lagoon” didn’t even exist!
As beautiful as this was to marvel at, it was a rude awakening to the state of the globe.
On another note, yes, that is my daughter and yes she is in a bathing suit, in Iceland, in late October. I prepped her for days leading up to this shoot as I knew I only had one shot at it. The deal was, she only had to count to 20 before her dad would throw her clothes back on her and we’d go to the gift shop and pick out a stuffed animal. She was amazing, not one complaint.

It's funny how they used the same head for Count Dooku and Saruman, seeing how they're both played by Christopher Lee. Which makes it even more funny how Yoda looks remarkably like an Orc.
