Had this little guy greet me when I went out to water the roof this morning. There’s quite a few tree frogs around right now

Messing about with the macro lens today. Very shallow depth of field because the frog was about the size of the end of my thumb. Wasn’t in the most convenient spot either

Mine has the Blackpool tower on it. Does this count?

Believe it or not, there’s not a cloud in the sky here. That being said, the wildfire smoke is getting thicker by the minute it seems. Smells like one big campfire.

For anyone that saw my storm pics from last week, here’s the official summary from the Northern tornado project. Initially an EF0 but upgraded to EF 1. Not heard of any injuries thankfully

Went to check on a friends house who are on vacation. Their house is fine, but there are some that aren’t. We tried 4 east west road going east and they were all blocked by trees and downed power lines. A few pictures

It’s not the nicest thing in the world to endure. It looks like there was a tornado, and while I’m a trained storm spotter, I don’t have the knowledge to confirm it, but this damage looks like it to me. We went to check on a friends house who is on vacation. Their house is fine.

I really have a healthy dislike for these two plants, which just happen to be quite prolific this year.

I did a thing on the weekend. Wasn’t sure how parkys would affect me but I managed

Let’s hope you don’t see bigger. This was August 2024. The damage estimate was $19,000. The insurance company wrote the truck off (2020 Ford Ranger)

Ever wondered how much a carat weighs? Not as much as you’d think actually. Lesson learned here for me. Bought 25 carats of raw opal. I didn’t get ripped off, as I got what I paid for, just a little disappointed in the size. 1 carat=.007705 grams. lol can still use them but not as originally pland

Well, it was blowing a hollow today. So much for our gazebo top. In its defence, it was brittle from UV exposure. Fortunately we ordered a replacement a month ago. Was meant for next year lol

Of course I had the wrong camera. If I’d had the right camera, this bruiser of a porcupine wouldn’t have been there

One sound I always look forward to. Elusive birds, they sit parallel on the branch instead of perpendicular. Most anyone who’s camped in Ontario is familiar with the Whip-poor-will. This one is in my backyard

Nice day for a walk so out we went, dog in tow. Believe it or not there are 22 wild turkeys in the first image. Unfortunately I had the wrong camera with me. Very big birds as witnessed by their footprints

They say here, if you don’t like the weather, just wait 24 hours. Had a nice ATV ride yesterday , and 7 cm of snow this morning.

It’s a nice day for a ride, but it’s far too sloppy, and being by myself I wasn’t keen on getting stuck, so I turned around. Enjoyable just the same.

We did something like that for field day one year, only 25 years ago lol. No drones then, so with a generous donation of three weather balloons from our friendly meteorologist , and helium from a neighbour, we hoiked up 250’ of wire and made some 160m contacts. A drone would be great for that.

Joggins. Specifically the Joggins fossil centre. There is no collecting unfortunately, but the tour is very good.

Deep fried. Everything is (almost) better deep fried. The local British bakery here has battered sausages. 🤤 they don’t look like much but they’re bloody good.
