Earth's escape velocity = 11.27 km/s, so get used to being here. I take between 5-8 K photos per year. Some are even good!

Please watch for her or her truck wherever you are seeing this. This photo of her is from last month.
Her disappearance is extremely out of character.

One of two cascades at Flatbed Falls (Tumbler Ridge, B.C.) for #WaterfallWednesday. Low water allowed me to walk right out above it ... while staying dry.

Enjoyed a drive to Wells today. Less snow than I've seen in some years, but still very pretty.

People who steal from others are the worst. Don’t fall for this “BC Hydro” scam.
There’s a warning about increased scam activity on the BC Hydro website.

This focus-stack worked well, but I need to pay more attention to the edges. I didn't notice the bottom left fern creeps out of the frame. 🤨

A shot from September. This was supposed to be a crisp, focus-stacked image, but I goofed the settings and the shots won't blend together, so I'm just sharing the one with the most focus on the shrooms.

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #small.
There's a moss-covered, gravel roof over an entrance to my apartment building, and this little fungi has found a home there.
I wish I had a ladder so I could shoot this properly versus hand-held through my apartment window.

Them: "Oh, your hobby is photography. What do you like to take photos of?"
Me, checking watch: "How much time do you have?"

Downy woodpeckers are the smallest woodpeckers in North America, but this one has a big, confident personality. 🙂

Does anyone know what this cloud type is called? Altocumulus, cirrocumulus or stratocumulus? Or perhaps something else?
Funky, anyway.

I think I got it with my Canon 90D and a 250 mm in April. No “real” photo though … took an iPhone shot of the LCD as I zoomed in 10X. 😂

It's clear, -4 °C and 97 per cent humidity. Maybe I'll wake tomorrow to see a nice, bright layer of frost.
We get some pretty scenes around here in the winter months. And, sometimes, gangly young moose.

I mean, my car wasn't that far away. Search and rescue would have found my body fairly quickly had I slipped; they're quite good at what they do.
Pleasantly surprised to find trout in here!

It's rare for me to go to Puntchesakut Lake and see another human. And this time of year, there aren't even boaters. It's so peaceful.
