Get that Nobel!

Just finished my 800th Spelling Bee.

I've missed finding everything 46 times, mostly because I didn't have the time to sit and work on them.

I also picked up a lot of garbage from the parking area. Everything from bottles and drink containers, to wrappers and take-out bags.

I will never understand people who litter. There was a garbage can 20 yards away from where someone had dumped it. Uncaring laziness and ignorance.

Exactly right.

Tachihara 8x10 must be a pretty cool camera to shoot with.

... what if I were willing to offer some 💰?

🙂

Snuck out for #sunrise at Ten Mile Lake this morning. T'was pretty ... and a beaver swam past me. 🦫

EEYORE! 😍

The snowmobile queues in the winter are also pretty.

The first shot was black and white because it was taken with my very old 55-250, and that lens has ... issues. Bad attitude from being dropped more than once. 🤣

This was a pretty scene to watch unfold. I'm hoping either Comet Swan C/2025 R2 or C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) plays ball this month, too.

Well, as advertised, that was just ... super!

Nice afternoon for a stroll along the river. #autumn #iphonephoto

So, I was wrong. This is Barbour Falls. My bad.

When you go for a master's, you'll need a bigger hoodie. 🙂

Two workers standing in front of Mount Robson, in the Canadian Rockies. The sky is blue with a few clouds, and the snow covered mountain is surrounded by trees.

If the state of the world is getting you down, change your altitude. 🥶

I'll get one as soon as possible.

I clicked the wastewater surveillance link on the BC Centre for Disease Control site, and see the amount of Sars-CoV-2 virus shed by infected people into the wastewater is moderate to high in every health authority in B.C.

Grateful for @thetyee.ca reporting.

And such a precise fit.

A fresh shot of a fresh location for #MountainMonday!

This was taken along the Murray Forest Service Road as I was leaving Kinuseo Falls.

Those so-called ICE agents don't seem to have much strength or training. It wouldn't surprise me if they had no training and they were just given the jobs, a slap on the back, and someone said, "Go round up anyone who you don't think looks white enough to be in Trump's America."

It really does! ⬇️

Nice guess! Took me three today.

Getting to the good stuff ... 🙂

I like this image of #KinuseoFalls so much that I want a pro to edit it for me. I know that luminosity masking etc would make it better.

I have tried to learn luminosity masking, but have had a lot of frustration trying to implement the technique.

I'll be rolling out fresh autumn shots for quite some time. 🙂

It would be great to have unlimited funds, and roam with my camera. I'd still love to be exploring the Peace region.

Next year, I'm going to either return to Tumbler Ridge or head even farther north.

I had a nice start to my day. Might do it again tomorrow, weather permitting.

Outscoring the evil empire 23-8 over two games. Hope they keep it going!

At some point, someone told Trump, "You should be ashamed of yourself," * and his raging narcissism demands he throw it back at people who don't deserve it, because he truly believes he's never done anything wrong and certainly doesn't deserve it.

*I mean, many people probably have.

There are windmills all over the hills around Tumbler Ridge. I had forgotten how big they are.

Minute Physics did a piece on why most have three blades; I’ll put a link to that below for those interested.
