Dalquharran Castle in a brief period of sunshine.
Snow, sleet, rain and this...
The lovely big blue puddle in the field is a result of recent heavy rain and flooding.
Another weather warning for heavy snow for tonight!
Oh, come on!

Found friend arctic fox snoozing away in his winter abode @ The Como Zoo.. Falcon Heights, central Minnesota.
Visitors: Welcome to check out my photostream and albums for seasonal images of wildlife/landscapes/flora in North America.
More testing with the interval composite function, this time with a wider lens. An in-camera mash up of 10 shots & converted in Silver Efex. As a single shot the waterfall in the rear is much narrower.

思ってたのと違う感じに仕上がった。。。これはこれでw
荷物は相変わらずカオス。
着替えが困難すぎてヤバイ。。。orz
Another Martin Parr book "The NON-CONFORMIST" added to my reads, more visual than actual text. Do like Mrs Parrs approach along with Daniel Meadows, both inspire me, good stuff if your into this genre
" La vita è fatta di rarissimi momenti di grande intensità e di innumerevoli intervalli; la maggior parte degli uomini però, non conoscendo i momenti magici, finisce di vivere solo gli intervalli."
"Life is made of the rare moments of great intensity and countless intervals; most of the men, however, not knowing the magic moments, ends up living alone intervals."

From Ham Hill, South Somerset. Same view, different day, different clouds, and a hint of sunlight over the landscape. Also known as British Summer.
Some ICM work. This always sound so easy in theory but hard to pull off sometimes. You need the right wooded area also.
Then make the colours a bit stronger for effect.

These photos were taken several minutes apart during the solar eclipse.
In southern Ontario, we were able to view a partial solar eclipse (75%).
I used a Neutral Density filter that reduces light up to 10 stops, focussed on 'infinity', pointed the camera and lens by hand, and used a remote shutter release to avoid looking at the sun.
Some mixed results but fun all the same. We're looking forward to the solar eclipse in 2024 when we will be much closer to the path of totality and able to witness a total solar eclipse.
Around sunset at Roseberry Topping.

Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

During these unseasonably cold early spring days when the weak sun eventually decides to shine, the place to be is the greenhouse which warms up beautifully, provided the door stays shut. The south facing outside though was an attractive and relatively less chilly place for a tiny male zebra jumping spider [ salticus scenicus ] who shared the location with me briefly on Saturday. He was even smaller than a split red lentil, hence the necessary magnification. After about a couple of minutes though, he disappeared through a crack in the wood from whence he came, probably feeling that it just wasn't warm enough for him quite yet.
