Funny, I've read and heard similar reports however The Smithsonian's Science and Nature branch see it differently. Read their take on it here:

Such cooperative models...
Always great to come by a photogenic window on a late night walk back...

Was at the last race of the season around here and came across the newest Ferrari dealer’s office.



What a way to do your business.

Way better quality than the mid 1960’s installations serving the same function…

It’s starting to show that L Stroll no longer owns the Eastern Ferrari Dealerships nor the racing venue around here!

Pilgrimage to scenic Charlevoix area over the weekend.
Heavy rain forcasted kept a lot of spectators away compared to last year but the competitor turnout had doubled.

Besides picking up some great local cheese I also managed to be covid positive on my return and feel sore bones all over.
Guess I don’t need any booster shot for the holiday season.





There were a few 20+yr old BMW’s



That Orange box actually survived !



Last years winner has Camber issues… DNF.



last day and the cars were shredding unnecessary body parts..

A number of years ago we had a Bald Eagle visit us on the shores of the Trent River. She returns a couple of times a year. I never have the camera ready. If I do all I get are blurry, out of focus shots. I tried to capture a pair of juveniles fighting over a fish that mom caught for them. You can see my results.
On Sunday I had to rush back home to grab a camera because I’d spotted an Eagle in a tree just across the river and down a bit.
I’ve resized the images because I do not have a web storage sight and this forum has a size limit.

Beautiful!

We saw a couple of bald eagles in Yellowstone, but were unable to capture them on camera with my small old Panasonic compact. Quite the unexpected sight though.

Once in life time shot, really beautiful!

Monday was eclipse day around here.
Came out clear enough to see the sun flares with some afternoon haze (Used 500mm).

So I got approximately 2 minutes to figure out a decent exposure where I did not need
any filter to block out the destructive rays of the sun on my camera sensor (& my eyes.)
I will have to study the way to properly record the next one that comes my way in July 2093...



I was going to go on a little viewing trip southeast towards the Maine border with
friends, but having heard rumours that the traffic would be potentially bad on the return
decided to watch it from my back yard, another reason to stay home was that my neighbor
and I decided that the way overgrown cedar hedge between us gets cut and I had a lot of
broken cedars to cut up on my side including one resting on my garage and house roofs due
to our last winter storm late last week that saw much heavy snow snap quite a few of them.

We also were in the direct path of totality for the eclipse. They had been predicting sunshine with some clouds. Just our luck the day was heavy overcast with very few breaks. I watched several vantage points on the TV while the wife sat in our driveway with camera in hand. I came outside with just minutes to go. The effect was far less dramatic than others I had witnessed. BUT, the wife got a couple of really neat shots through the clouds. Cannon 6D 380mm (100 to 400 zoom)
