Road Ride by the #River Side The point of this image is to show a major road coexists with a park, taken from a pedway perched on my bike. I waited a while to get what I considered a presentable vehicle in the shot, missed a couple of motorcycles that might've been better 😀 #photography #Saskatoon
The foreground is a grassy field. A pickup truck can be seen driving on a non-visible road with a few street light poles. The other side of the truck is an expanse of tree. A bright blue sky is swept with whispy clouds.

I know this image breaks all rules of good #photography with the branches creating chaos for the eye trying to take in the whole. But that's what I like about it. #Saskatoon #river #autumn
A view of the South Saskatchewan River with leafless branches spreading across the top half of the image.

The last leaf. Away from the madness of the world, there is autumn 🍂 Have a good night and thanks to many for sharing and commenting. #autumn #oakleaf #nature #photography #woodland
A single oak leaf clings to a branch as autumn spreads her colours.

The white canopied cluster on the far bank of the South #Saskatchewan #River is Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, our long running, storied theatre company in #Saskatoon. Not a great photo, but if you haven't noticed - I'm kind of proud of my city and want to share it. 😀 #photography
Buildings across the South Saskatchewan River, past wild brush and urban parkland. In the centre is a cluster of white canopied structures that make up Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan.

On the east bank of the South #Saskatchewan #River. Look closely to see a group of kayakers in mid river. If you climbed the hill to the right of the trail you would find yourself in a thriving #Saskatoon neighbourhood. #photography
South Saskatchewan River with kayakers barely visible in mid-river. A gravel trail stretches from the bottom left to mid-right. Trees and bush cover the far bank and a bright blue sky is dominated by white clouds.

Soul of Saskatoon. This image reveals much of the City. Taken from a research plot at the University, there is a train bisecting the shot, behind which we see the downtown #skyline. And always, an active sky. Research, resources, nature, city and sky. This is the Soul of #Saskatoon. #photography
A train stretches across the image underlining a city landscape dominated by a sky active with clouds. The foreground is a green field with trees.

Pedestrian Railway Pair. As promised this shows a train immediately adjacent to the recreational pathway. The path is shared by bikes and hikers so a high degree of courtesy is required for safe passage. No one's been killed in at least 20 years lol.
A wooden walkway extends vertically immediately parallel to a train with rail cars extending to the horizon. A line figure is walking in the distance.

Bridge and Sky. This is the Pembina pedestrian #bridge which is flush against rail tracks. When trains run across it a foolish hiker could reach out and touch it. Will try to get an illustrative shot as it's pretty cool no one has Darwin'd themselves here. #photography #Saskatoom
A pedestrian and railway bridge cross the South Saskatchewan with a cloud filled sky dominating the image.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Raptors, any raptor. Falco femoralis 🇧🇷 Falcão-de-coleira 🇬🇧 Aplomado Falcon #birds #birdsoftheworld #nature #birdphotography #naturelovers #wildlife #NaturalBeauty #Birding #NaturePhotography
A falcon facing to its right, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer, giving it a keen and alert expression. Its eyes are a bright yellow, and its beak is a pale yellow with a dark tip. The bird's head is adorned with dark gray feathers, contrasting with a creamy white chest and throat. Bands of dark gray and white are visible on its upper back and wings, with hints of lighter gray and white barring. Its belly and flanks are a warm, rich orangey-brown. The bird's tail is long and banded with alternating dark gray and white stripes. Its talons, a bright yellow, are firmly gripping the textured, light brown branch.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks. This Glaucous-winged Gull hit the jackpot by coming up with a mouthful of salmon roe. The gulls were grabbing what they could from a foraging sea lion and somehow this one got the choice part. Valdez #Alaska 🪶

#BirdoftheDay #Splash There's definitely a lot of splashing going on. Is there even a bird in this photo...?! #Nature #Photography
Lots of blue and white water suspended in midair on the surface of a pond.  A male lesser scaup has just landed and is just seen before it exits the right edge of the frame.  The bird has an iridescent green head, a yellow eye and a pale blue bill with a small black tip.

In the face of horror we should reach for compassion, not hate. Those using Canada's mass shooting tragedy as an excuse to spew their poison earn our revulsion not our conversion. People are suffering untold loss, so some call us to evil. Evil does live among us. Face it. Name it. Reject it.

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan. More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded. These 158 didn't make it home. And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

A view over a landscape, it is a slight valley with established trees either side, a grassy area slopes and meanders through and down either side. Bushes are in the central area, the sky is blue with a white band of cloud to the left. A slight frost covers the grassy area on the left.

There is something utterly compelling about this work. I scroll away and am drawn back to it, again and again. The colour played on the canvass with an exuberant brush, the texture rising thru the digital divide; the sense of motion, of rampant life; I'm mesmerized.
