Sometimes clouds alone can have a dramatic effect on the landscape. In this case, a small island off the coast of Sechelt, sits alone and under an over powering display of low hanging clouds.
Like a boat adrift on the sea, it seems derelict. It even appears as though the weather holds a surprise rain storm above and around its location. And yet, it survives.
Great Blue Heron
When considering the weather on this day, I figured a visit to Roberts Creek was in store. The clouds were moving quickly but also clinging close to the horizon. The stanchions there, would help frame any boat that happened by, and also bring interest to the shot. Technically, most images leave room ahead of the subject, but I wanted to grab an emotion and tell a story instead. One of departure and sailing off into the unknown.
To my good fortune, and after perusing about, a very fast moving sailboat did cruise by. I had already composed the shot, making it a matter of waiting for the final element. Small adjustments were made and then as the boat sailed into place, the final shot was made. That bird on the end, was icing on the cake, as the rest bid a fond farewell.
Thought it was a good day to try a daylight moon photo as the air was so crisp and clear.
Seems to have come out pretty well :)
Lots of people think that the little birds look well fed in winter, but in reality they have just fluffed up their feathers to get the best insulation from the cold.
This is "Front Garden Robin" ... not yet named :)
Took a shot at capturing the C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) comet. It’s slowly making its way further from earths gravity and will soon be launched back into space and not expected to be back until about 80,000 years.
76% with clear cool skies last night giving me more detail.
The clouds finally parted long enough to take the full moon shot in all its bright glory.
Moon is at 88% tonight and just 3 days away from the super harvest moon.
The moon is at 93% but still glorious!! Night everyone! ✌💙😊
Managed to get some shots of the moon a couple days ago. Been sick so venturing outside for a little bit helped greatly.
Was able to get one of the clearest shots of the moon tonight as rain clouds start coming in for what is expected to be a thunderous weekend.
Last nights full moon (23 May 2024). Stayed up till after 2:30am for this shot as WA state weather is unpredictable and has been cloudy and raining for last few days with more rain to come.
Another clear night here in WA leads to a great clear shot of the moon at 58% and just 8 days till the next full moon.
A rare endemic of Hispaniola which can be seen regularly in a few areas. Although it was not possible to get decent shots, you can still see from this one how this species got its name with the golden green glow on the upperparts when the sun shines.
Smoke from forest fires fills the air while communities on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake evacuate.

This vision of the Celista area on fire leaves us in awe, and horrified for those involved
