This square, wooden tower use to be the front range light starting in 1915 and was relocated in the 1980s. The new site for the retired lighthouse is a rest area overlooking the St. Lawrence River at the western entrance to the village of Deschaillons-sur-Saint-Laurent. In 2013, it had a complete renovation. The lighthouse appears on the municipality’s emblem.
Please ignore the Exif data, this shot was done with the Mitakon Speedmaster at F0.95 (window light only).
I can haz more?
This is the result of an image "blend" using several photos of Jane fed into the AI engine called Midjourney. I wish the tool had focused on her eyes instead of just before the eyes and I wish the tool didn't keep the little booger she often gets next to her nose.
Some odds and ends I gathered from the internet about house sparrows in the U.S..They were first introduced in NYC in 1851.They are a very adaptable bird and flourish near people. Their numbers increased rapidly.It has been suggested they were introduced to reduce insects, but it was later realized they only feed on insects during nesting season. Their main food source is seed .They have adapted well and now eat a wide variety of food scraps from people.
Early on they were not looked at favorably because they displaced nesting birds such as Eastern Bluebirds and purple martins.The bird earned such a bad reputation that in 1880 a bounty of three cents per bird was made law in Michigan.It was possible to earn $1.50 to $3.00 per day. A lot of money back then.
I was surprised at some of the information I found .. In the mid 1500s they were used a food item and served in sparrow pie. a traditional dish.The oldest recorded life span is 15 years and 9 months.
Because it is such an easy bird to observe they have been the subject of more than 5,000 scientific studies .In recent years there has been an unexplained decline in their numbers ( not in my back yard).
One of my very young neighbors told me it was his favorite bird . I was surprised and asked why. His answer was simple.He said it was because he could always count on seeing it .
Excuse any typos , I'm a hunt and pecker. Hal

It is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae. Members of the genus are known as buttercups, spearworts and water crowfoots. The familiar and widespread buttercup of gardens throughout Northern Europe (and introduced elsewhere) is the creeping buttercup Ranunculus repens, which has extremely tough and tenacious roots. Two other species are also widespread, the bulbous buttercup Ranunculus bulbosus and the much taller meadow buttercup Ranunculus acris. All three are often regarded as invasive weeds. Buttercups usually flower in the spring, but flowers may be found throughout the summer, especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonizers, as in the case of garden weeds. The water crowfoots (Ranunculus subgenus Batrachium), which grow in still or running water, are sometimes treated in a separate genus Batrachium. They have two different leaf types, thread-like leaves underwater and broader floating leaves. In some species, such as R. aquatilis, a third, intermediate leaf type occurs. Ranunculus species are used as food by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the Hebrew character and small angle shades. Some species are popular ornamental flowers in horticulture, with many cultivars selected for large and brightly coloured flowers. Buttercups are mostly perennial, but occasionally annual or biennial, herbaceous, aquatic or terrestrial plants, often with leaves in a rosette at the base of the stem. In many perennial species runners are sent out that will develop new plants with roots and rosettes at the distanced nodes. 24799
