#FallColour #Autumn Poplars & Birch at the base of the foothills, before Friday's storm took away all that glorious colour.
In the foreground, trees with white trunks crowned by gold and yellow leaves. Behind, dark green conical conifers backed by a strip of dusty blue/grey sky. The sun shines on the golden foliage making it glow against the darker greens.

Took this last year with my Yashica MAT 124 on Portra 160. Still like it better than anything I've taken this autumn using my Olympus M43 camera. #photography #filmphotography #landscape #utah #autumn #fall

#FallColour A beautiful view on the north side of the river, after the fog had lifted yesterday. Once the sun was out, the autumn colours glowed.
A riverside property; Poplars with golden coloured foliage, hiding the houses  behind them. Dark green, sun tipped conical evergreens in the background with grey clouds above. Center foreground is lawn widening on its way down to the river bank. It is strewn with golden leaves.

Love these colours and the shading in the late summer.
Brilliant orange and green leaves in the afternoon sun.  Shadows fall on some.

Impromptu still-life on a kitchen counter this morning. Getting ready for our little granddaughter. 😊
Bright sunshine on kitchen counter.  Strong shadows.  A watermelon, some sliced cucumber, and a partially filled jar of water.  Among other things.

The BC government has announced planning is underway for the Indigenous-Led Conservation Area previously declared for the Raush Valley. Protecting much of this old-growth inland rainforest from road-building and logging. It's long been on my radar. So, good news on this day.

These were my dad’s favorite birds. I lost him a couple years ago and I’ve found it helpful to imagine that his spirit lives on in these birds. I see them often along the bike trails that I frequent and I always say a little hello as I pass.  RED WINGED BLACKBIRD, Acrylic, 16x16” ©2026 Jim Musil

I hiked up to Broken Top Mountain and No Name Lake today. The hike I wanted to do was about 5.6 miles but the road to that start was closed. I ended up hiking 14 miles rated as hard. I’ll be in pain tomorrow!

#Fungi #MushroomMonday October 2024. This mushroom was growing out of the side of a well rotted log.
A pale yellow mushroom. The cap is slightly inverted, the backlit gills are fully displayed. The stipe is a dark amber colour. Sphagnum moss  and linaria add bright green to foreground. In the background are dark green conifer needles.

Looking easy into Glacier National Park from the Great Bear Wilderness in northwestern Montana.

We had a mild winter. It has been a warm spring. The high peaks in Glacier stubbornly cling to their snowy blankets as long as they can. 

These mountains were born to be cold.

A heavily textured tree trunk in a mixed forest that is starting to green up. The bark has deep vertical ridges and is light & dark grey with hints of brown. In the background on the right another, much smaller,  Cottonwood stands in partial shade.

Forgotten light...
A driveway through a forest leads to a distant homestead in this picture, the sun is seen in the sky beyond casting shadows and illuminating the trees to the right. The composition suggests the photographer was interested in the contrasts of light and shadows and of the home and yard found in the apparent wilderness.
The photo caption: Forgotten Light is used because I don't remember taking the picture, don't recognize the location, don't know exactly why it caught my eye, but I do like the light on the trees to the right.

#Sunrise #ColourADay #YellowSunday A bright Sunday sunrise to start the day off.
A dark band of cloud, backlit by the sun, hangs in a yellow & grey sky. The muted horizon is capped by grey & white clouds. The foreground is shadowy outlines of conifers. The whole scene has a warm sunny morning glow to it.

#Tree #Conifer #Pinus #ForestFriday A close-up in a stand of pine trees, a strobili (the pine equivalent of a flower).
A pine tree strobili yet to open and release pollen, has a cluster of small cone shaped yellow buds tipped in orange. These are surrounded by bright green needles. In the background is a blurred imaged of a pine tree.

I have to go get my dog back shortly. Excited. Here’s one for #ForestFriday and #scape A blurry winter woodland scene. #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin
Sunlight breaks through tall conifer and bare deciduous trees in a quiet Irish woodland, casting bright rays across a dark, gently flowing stream. Frost dusts the grassy bank and low branches, while a narrow path curves along the right side. The sky above is a clear, vivid blue, and the winter light glints off the water, creating a calm, crisp morning atmosphere deep in the forest.

Watching from the outside, I say to my American neighbors, you know it's time for many, many more of you to step up and peacefully petition your federal government. To really put the pressure on. And turn that tide. It's looking grim for your democracy. The water I think is near a roiling boil.
