A new bird for my checklist visited our feeder today. Trail, British Columbia, Canada.

Trail, BC, Canada. It is amazing how much more the camera sensor can pick up than the naked eye. This is my first time seeing the lights at this latitude, 49th parallel. I used to live further north and could see them regularly. The solar flare certainly extended the range for more people to witness them.

Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.

I used a pinhole feature on my camera for this photo.

From our backyard feeder. This Jay will empty the peanut dispenser and hide them all over the yard and parts of the neighborhood. It always takes the last one into the nearby tree and eats it. This one looks like a juvenile or it is molting.

Today is world photography day. Here is my submission from my backyard. Smoke, smoke and more smoke. A cedar border in our yard and the mountain across the Columbia River in Trail, British Columbia, Canada. Our air quality index is currently: Hazardous 320 AQI US On the British Columbia Air Quality site, we are at 10+. Photo taken shortly after noon PST. No clouds. The masks we have been using for Covid are very useful when the atmosphere gets this thick.

I had some fun with an art filter, selective colour, and some sliders.
