Well done, citizens. Keep fighting these people and this fascist government. I think they really expected no resistance.

I've been eyeballing this shot for a few days, trying to figure out the best time for light.

It's a shame this riverside municipal campground in #Quesnel isn't open in October, when it's arguably the prettiest time of year.

So, I watched a great concert earlier. 😉

This little one is busy gathering/eating maple seeds.

And, if you go, you’ll either be using a rope system to climb up the right side of the falls (as I did), or you’ll be walking the trail in reverse to get back to your vehicle. 🙂

And yeah, I blew out the highlights in the sky, despite thinking I took enough shots. There's always something. 😬

I am still processing my Tumbler Ridge trip photos. This is Canary Falls, which is quite close to Kinuseo Falls.

I might be too far south, too, but sometimes it surprises. 🙂 I got shots one night when the aurora app I was using said there was only a 1% chance.

Pretty glad I headed back up to the woods for sunset...

These are porcelain mushrooms, and a moveable log, so was able to get a photo from underneath!

Porcelain mushrooms at sunset, backlit from the light behind. There are about 5 visible mushrooms with distinctive gills. The mushrooms are actually white but look peachy-orange in the sunset light.

The sky is clear where I am in B.C. Maybe worth going out tonight. Thanks!

... owned by a US private equity group. That took some of the fun out of this.

Mostnica Gorge, by Lake Bohinj. Like many of the gorge walks they lead up to a mountain hut serving wonderful food and there’s usually a big waterfall at the end of it too. A big day, some 22km of ascent and descent which I hadn’t done for a while.

Good on you and that's a beautiful photo. A long day indeed ... I would have died. 😂

I have so many pictures of these owls on this post. So hard to choose my favorite one.

A great horned owl perches at dusk before hunting in Longmont, Colorado.

I don't know much about her. Why was some of her work tainted?

Roseate spoonbills will splash their wings through the water as part of their beauty routine. Here's one doing so mid-splash, facing straight ahead towards the camera. I really love this shot. #birds

This picture shows a close-up view of a green leaf illuminated from behind, highlighting its intricate network of veins. The light passing through emphasizes the delicate patterns and structure of the leaf, revealing a beautiful contrast between the bright, glowing lines of the veins and the darker green spaces in between.

"... requiring roughly the same amount of electricity needed to power eight million to 10 million homes in Canada ... use up to a billion gallons of water per year to keep cool because they generate so much heat."

Don't allow this, @mark-carney.bsky.social.
