Day 336 of 365
So for the first time this winter we have snow in the forecast, which means we probably won't get any. Unlike most Baltimoreans, I actually hope for and want snow. My vehicle doesn't have a problem in it and I love the white stuff. If any appears it will probably just be some flurries that wont stick. It is promising for a whiter winter though. Usually, here in my part of Maryland we don't see any real snow until after the new year.
Of course this is good news for the grocery stores. here in Baltimore even the mention of snow throws most into a frenzy and they hit the grocery stores buying up all the milk, toilet paper and bread that they can. I've never really understood this behavior. In Maryland I've never seen so much snow that I've been stuck in the house more than a few hours due to snow, a day at the max and never have I found myself dependent on bread, milk and toilet paper for my continued survival. If I was living in Montana or something I might understand it, but it makes no sense in Baltimore. In Baltimore it's just a bit silly.
I think he's a burmese mix. Under a year old, Jack is still all kitten. Very curious by nature, fun loving and affectionate. Everything you'd want in a cat. =) Love him... been watching him and his litter mate Jill on and off since last february.

Jack's Christmas present is already bought, but when we saw this in the grocery store we couldn't resist buying it for him as an early present.
Jack loves sound toys for the obvious reason that he can easily find them. His favourite is an annoying little bird that chirps. The slightest touch sets off the chirping and he'll chase that thing around for hours. He also loves crinkle toys. He has a couple of toys that crinkle a little, but we had trouble finding any good crinkle toys until this. It's so soft and the crinkle is so loud, he loves it!
Funny this, though, Jack's not too fond of bell toys. He has some that he likes to play with, but not as much as the others. The bells on the toys he likes aren't that big or loud.
He's also not too fond of catnip. The tiny amount they put in most cat toys doesn't bother him, but he hates the stuff my dad grows in the gardens. The other cats (and some that don't belong to us) flock the catnip patches, but Jack runs away from them! I think the smell is too strong for his sensitive nose.
"Hey, i'm just the chauffeur, not my car" she said. I thought long and hard and decided I would take her with me. But yet. The keys *were* still locked in the car ....
"She might be with him, but shes thinking bout me, me, meee,
We don't go to the mall, we don't go out to eat, eat, eeeeat,
And all that we ever do is play in the sheets,sheets sheeets,
Smoke us a cigarette, and go back to sleep, sleep, sleep, so we can get a! .... "

Had to do a double taken when I spotted this Jack Snipe handing around our wheelie bin during the recent snow storms. I had to sneak around the house and lie down behind my car to get eye level with this fantastic bird. Nature is full of surprises!

I know it looks like a snowflake, and in real composition it is practically the same, but this is actually frost growing on the windshield of my truck right through the Rain-X.
The first snow dusted the entrance to the Jack Pine Lake lookout located in the Hersey Lake Conservation Area in Tisdale Township in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Reminds me of the colors used by my favorite painter Jean Jack from Santa Fe - www.galleryc.net/artist-image/jack/jackj0001015.html - and here are more - www.galleryc.net/jean-jack.html
a funny coffee and graphite painting on A3 Fabriano, ( the paint idea is from Artist Eleanor)background is a bit textured.
Have all a nice sunday.
Jack visited the farm today, and wasn't interested in my treats at first, but soon enjoying them. He's a natural model, and a very good boy.
In my experience, Jack Snipe is one of the most difficult of British birds to photograph. They are not particularly rare as winter visitors, but they are usually extraordinarily elusive. They have never bred in Britain though occasionally their display flights have been seen and heard, which to me sounds like a tiny horse galloping on an icy lake. Listen for yourself, here it is on Xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/492150 . When they first arrive in Britain from Scandinavia in autumn they sometimes sit in the open in front of bird hides, but after a few days they go into stealth mode and simply disappear. Keith Vinicombe in Bird Identification wrote "Jack Snipe is a peculiarly secretive bird, rarely straying from well-vegetated soggy places. Unlike Snipe it avoids open mud at all costs and does not walk into open water to feed. Generally speaking, the only chance of seeing one on the ground is from a well-situated bird hide." But their elusiveness also makes for notoriously unreliable population estimates so nobody really knows how many visit Britain each winter. From my own personal experience I see well over a hundred Common Snipe for every Jack Snipe during winter, but Common Snipe fly off at the slightest disturbance making them much easier to see. Jack Snipe usually sit tight among vegetation in swampy marshes, usually only flying when you almost tread on them. Its scientific name is Lymnocryptes minimus which translates as the smallest marsh-hider. The name "Jack" simply means small, as they are noticeably smaller than Snipe. In fact at 55g they weigh just half that of a Common Snipe (110g), and an old name for them was Half Snipe.
Two Jack Lake was named in 1959 after two influential locals—Jack Stanley and Jack Watters—whose lives shaped early Banff.
Jack Stanley, known as “Captain Jack,” ran boat tours on nearby Lake Minnewanka and helped popularize the area for visitors in the early 1900s. Jack Watters was a prominent figure in the coal mining town of Bankhead, located at the base of Cascade Mountain. Their contributions to tourism and industry earned them a shared legacy in the lake’s name.
Beyond its name, Two Jack Lake is a tranquil arm of Lake Minnewanka, offering postcard views of Mount Rundle and easy access from Banff. It’s a favorite for sunrise photography, kayaking, and winter skating—especially when methane bubbles freeze beneath the surface. The lake’s calm beauty and layered history make it a quiet but meaningful stop in the Rockies.
