2018 seems to be becoming the year of the robin for me.
I suppose I could use the excuse that it is the nations favourite bird.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.
Knowing we are not meant to dwell in the barren cold of winter, Spring calls to us on a tempting warm breeze, “Cast off your dark days and smile, for just as I awaken the insects and creatures, so I bring you renewed life. Look to the lighter, longer days and inhale hope, breathing out joy as you feel yourself lifted.”

Knowing that it is Easter week-end I pulled this one out of my hat (archive). The Eastern Cottontail was running towards my direction until it noticed my presence, veered left and disappeared in the cattails. Happy Easter. Rouge Beach Park, Toronto.
I spent a few hours in London on Sunday and made my way up to Camden. I didn't have the stomach to actually go into Camden Market as it was absolutely heaving and frankly I am not one for crowds. So I wandered around on the periphery and noticed that there was a lot of street art around. Not quite up to Brick Lane standards but some really interesting work by some very talented artists. I especially liked this girl whose eyes never left me the entire time I was looking at her.
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."
- Pablo Neruda; 100 Love Sonnets

Knowing we were approaching what is known as "the fastest land mammal in North America"......we were expecting this mother Pronghorn and her fawn to dart at any moment.
But, obviously they accepted our presence as this little buck dropped and started nursing right before our eyes.....
It certainly was a precious moment and our gang sure was smiling as those shutters were clicking away....
A few unique / interesting facts about Pronghorns:
Though they’re colloquially called the “American antelope,” pronghorns aren’t related to antelope at all.
They can spot slight movements up to 5 kilometers (3 miles) away.
Pronghorn have the largest eyes of any North American ungulate in relation to body size.
The newborns can take their first wobbly steps just 30 minutes after birth. At four days old, they can outrun humans, and in one week, they are able to run faster than a horse, if needed. The baby pronghorns depend on their mothers’ milk until they attain the age of weaning at 4 or 5 months.
Thanks as always for just stoppin' by......
Have a great weekend ahead.
The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.

The phrase "knowing where your bread is buttered" (or "knowing which side your bread is buttered on") means understanding what actions, behaviors, or allegiances bring you the most advantages, income, or support. It describes being pragmatic about protecting your livelihood and interests
"Knowing when and how to change course is important to success. Self-doubt is a lighthouse that will keep you from running aground. Don't become shipwrecked on the rocks of time. Be willing to rethink your decisions and change course."

Long shot of Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior's North Shore. The historic Minnesota and Lake Superior icon went into service in 1910 and was decommissioned in 1969. It has been an extremely popular North Shore destination since the highway was being developed in the 1920's.
The lighthouse is on Lake Superior's North Shore, not far from Two Harbors, Minnesota.

Last winter, not knowing what lay ahead but desperate for a break from work, I jumped in my car and heading to Algonquin for a few days of solitary winter birding and photography. This bird was one of the first I encountered after entering the Park. And as a bird I only ever get to see in Algonquin it immediately validated my impulse three hour drive: despite the numbing cold during my three day visit, seeing this bird, and several other individuals of this species, made it a perfect experience. I am saddened by the fact that our current lockdown makes a return this winter impossible. Visiting the Park, alone or with my good friends Paul and Jodie, has become a winter ritual. I would rather have three days in January in Algonquin with a camera than two weeks down south in a warm place.
Though it is a corvid like other more familiar Jays, it is not in the same corvid family as they are. It is instead a close relative of the Siberian Jay, leading to all sorts of theories about how it got here and separated itself. It is worth looking at images of the Siberian Jay - the family resemblance is really clear, but the Siberian Jay has really striking coloration. There are nine subspecies of the Canada Jay scattered across North America.
The Canada Jay is a scatter hoarder, meaning that it grabs food anywhere it can and stores it for later, and stores it all over its territory. This prevents it from being vulnerable to losing everything at once in the event its cache is poached. The Canada Jay like its Siberian relative coats the cached food in its saliva before depositing it, which enables it to stick inside a crevice of some kind. The bird favours jack pine and black and white spruce, all of which have bark with anti-bacterial properties - so its preferred habitat is driven in part by its scatter hoarding behaviour.
What does it eat? Absolutely anything, from dead animals to newly hatched birds and on to berries and seeds, and in the more public areas where it can be found it is known to grab the odd hot dog.
Knowing when to walk away,
is wisdom.
Being able to,
is courage.
Walking away with your head held high,
is dignity.

Knowing that my perennial flowers are popping up through the soil, it's only a matter of time before the trees in our neighborhood start erupting in flowers. Oh, wonderful Spring! How I have missed you!
There is always that one person that does not say a thing, but you know they know everything that is going on.
I liked the window light in this image.

Knowing that today was supposed to be sunny I decided to bring my camera to work. Thanks to a heads up from Jimmy G, I was able to change my route home to meet up with L307 at Paris West.
Knowing an L518 was on duty at noon in Greenville, I headed North with the intention of shooting a pair of orange units under the cantilever at KY. B&LE power is standard on this job and frequently sought out by fans in the area. After waiting nearly two hours for them to depart town something didn't quite seem right as the horn echoed off the hills of Western Pennsylvania. When the headlights came into view I knew I had been Bessemered at Jelly Junction.
Knowing that dishwashing soap is a grand plaything, I decided to create a concentrated solution when mixed with water. Dipping a cake cooling rack into the liquid, I then placed the rack in the kitchen window. It was a messy project, but the results were astounding. "There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes."

Despite knowing that the diminutive reptilian creatures surrounding her were not the same as Basalisk's lizard army that she's been fighting across worlds, Nix also knew that if the count hadn't been 5 pointy spear heads (and however many pointy teeth in all their heads) against her single blaster, she never would have re-holstered her weapon.

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

Knowing that I'm allergic to these fascinating creatures, my adrenaline went all the way up by getting this close to them. I could not miss this chance, could I?
Last October I decided to drive South to visit a small lighthouse in Berwick, the first major town as you cross the border from Scotland to England on the East Coast.
It was a cold day, but an open sky and the sun was shining freely everywhere, lighting up the seaside of Berwick beautifully.
As I was approaching the lighthouse I saw an elderly man sitting on a bench on the pier, overlooking the vast stretch of the coast in front of him, he had a very peaceful aura about him, just sitting there, closing his eyes, smiling.
I started to wonder, what could be on his mind just now... Is he thinking of his family, a nostalgic memory, maybe something mundane, or is he perhaps free of all thoughts, and just simply being there in the moment, letting in the warmth of the sun and breathing in the fresh air of the sea?
I remember my Grandad used to sit in his garden chair like this, I was watching him when I was a child and I knew he wasn't sleeping either. I used to wonder what was on his mind at the time, but I never got round to ask him. I was too busy being a child.
Soon the gentleman stood up and walked slowly to the lighthouse, looked out to the open sea, and then started to walk back to the bench. That's when I decided that I am going to speak with him.
When I asked him if I can take a portrait picture of him, he smiled at me with warmth and kindness, and then answered to me politely each time I asked him a question.
After a few clicks and small questions I wished him a nice day and we both said goodbye, and that's when I realised I never asked him what was he thinking on that bench...
I was too busy again.
And maybe that's ok. Maybe he would have been opened to share, maybe he wouldn't. His thoughts remained private for him and a mystery to everyone else, just like my Grandads.

There was a warning last week for foragers not to misidentify mushrooms and toadstools.

Knowing that bubbles always lift my spirits, I decided to mix a bit of glycerine to a liquid bubble solution. Creating massive bubble mountains was therapeutic and once I saw colors reflected in the sunlight, I grabbed my camera. Voila!
