We drove through Jasper Park in January and were rewarded with beautiful mountain scenes.


We are again travelling through Jasper but this time in spring conditions. Photos to follow.
Happy Sunday.

I haven’t seen many robins north of 60° north latitude, but here’s one that is either very early or may have overwintered.

Amazingly, some do, relying on berries to survive as robins are not seed eaters. In summer, they eat bugs and worms, but those aren’t much available in most winter climates. They will also eat suet, so if you have a suet feeder in your yard, you might attract an early or overwintering robin.
Happy Saturday; happy weekend.
Great things to look forward to.


Maybe Carly Simon said it best. These are the good old days. 🙂

‘Bold’ …sometimes nature doesn’t do pastels, sometimes we need to be bold…
Bold
A beautiful colour contrast from Andy at Ebb then Flood.

Aren’t they lovely and bright?
I hope your Thursday is lovely and bright, too.

Maple Flats, North Fork SkokomishJust getting tired of photos of cool, damp weather. I need to get out into the mountains to soothe my soul. This is …
Thinking of Summer
Lush spring greenery from Allan J Jones Photography. There are more great pictures on his blog.

The solitary duck looked small against the high waves but on it swam. A duck called Intrepid 😊

We are still dealing with colder temperatures after a run of pleasant, heading-toward-spring weather, but for the most part it has been sunny.

Unfortunately, we’re predicted to get more snow tomorrow, apparently about 2-3 cm (1 inch), but warmer weather beckons as I will be heading further south at the end of the week.
Happy Tuesday.
We have had some amazing Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) lately.

Instead of the usual green, we have also had shades of pink, purple, red, and yellow; people have been able to see them as far south as New Mexico. These spectacular night shows are caused by some unusual solar flare activity and are expected to continue until about the middle of 2025.
Happy Monday.
