Aha I can see your photo now Helen. img.bb is back in action. I have never heard of sea smoke so it is lovely to be able to see it through the medium of your lens. Great capture, I bet you were pleased to get it.

Beautiful photography, Clive. He looks a little perturbed in the second one.

The steam (sea smoke) is sharp and nicely (back?) lighted Great capture, I bet you were pleased to get it. Clive,the backlighting was what made it look so magical.....and yes Lillias, I was so happy to get a picture that captured what we were seeing.

Beautiful photography, Clive. He looks a little perturbed in the second one Thank you Jim. "Our" blue jay has not been around for almost 3 weeks. This might be a different one .. we do not know. I was worried that sharp-shinned hawk might have eaten our jay. It does look perturbed in that second photo. It was just scanning the area and figuring a good approach to the peanut feeder. We love jays even when there are 3 or 4 around and we go through quite a few peanuts in the shell. These photos, like many bird photos in our yard, was shot through the sitting room window. It perched a couple of times on the Russian olive tree and posed well.

After the recent weather it was good to see at least a bit of sun today and get a bit of a sunset over a frozen lake: Tony

These are female and male northern flicker in the back yard and photographed out of windows. It was "warm" today, but overcast and a few flakes coming down. Hope to get out in the sunshine tomorrow.

Seeing that we are having problems with imgbb, I am adding images using cubeupload. When using cube I choose direct link and copy/paste into body of text. This does not allow a preview but picture loads when posted.
Two on the river this evening......got out my tripod and shot manual mode, not something I tend to use but figured 2023 might be a good time to try. u.cubeupload.com/HMCA/DSC0961EditB.jpgu.cubeupload.com/HMCA/DSC0954EditEditB.jpg

Trying cubeupload as imgbb is still down. Thought I'd try for more birds in 2023 and starting with a black-capped chickadee at the feeder as they are very friendly (and will even eat out of your hand with a bit of practice) u.cubeupload.com/TonyW/Nr0xo3.jpgTony

Good bird day, eh Tony. Both in the Oldman River Valley, January 2, 2023. Adult bald eagle and a black-capped chickadee. BTW, tonyw, we rarely see chickadees at the house even though our small town is well treed. However, there are a lot in the river valley and they love sunflower seeds out of hand.

And another bird - a bluejay at the peanut feeder - supposedly squirrel proof although we have some very clever squirrels ... Tony
