Confession: I missed the really big aurora show two nights ago because I was gaming in VR and didn’t realize the clouds had briefly cleared.

The Dunbar Falls trail:

Two photos side by side of the same woodland location – one taken during spring and one during fall. The image on the left depicts a staircase of mini waterfalls flowing over moss-covered rocks. The image on the right is covered in dry leaves and almost completely void of water.

If you flip it upside down, it’s like a little fuzzy cyclops wearing a jacket wandering an unfamiliar world with the same curiosity as Wall-E.
The head of that weird mascot flipped upside and Photoshopped into a scene from Wall-E.

A lighthouse beneath the milky way. The lighthouse is a short distance away from the camera on the opposite side of a grassy area. A small patch of evergreen trees stands on either side of the lighthouse. The lighthouse’s lamp is a pale green colour.

Not my best work and certainly not the photo I intended, but if nothing else, it was a perfect night to be outside watching the full moon rise.

The full moon rising behind some trees across a field. The moon is yellow-orange and the sky is a deep blue with a light splash of purple clouds.

Hunter’s/Harvest/Super Moon 🦌🌾🌕

#fullmoon #huntersmoon #harvestmoon #supermoon #photography
A rising full moon perfectly framed by an electrical transmission tower. The tower is comprised of two parallel wooden poles, braced with two additional pairs of poles in X configurations. Wires cross the deep purple-blue sky haphazardly. In the background are trees speckled with peak autumn colours.

For about 10 minutes, tonight was one of the best aurora displays I’ve seen all year. Typically at NB latitudes, even when the aurora is visible to the eye, it still appears colourless. Tonight was an exception and I could briefly see colours with the naked eye!

A nightscape photo taken from a high vantage point above a bending highway surrounded by forest showing fall colours. Red tail lights of a vehicle trace the entire length of the road. In the sky, the Milky Way is faintly visible in the upper left. In the middle of the frame, the moon appears as a bright point of light. Just above the moon is a streak of light about the width of a star created by the passing of the International Space Station.

Fall has sprung 🍂
Vibrant red maple leaves against a background of darker foliage. A winding forest trail dabbled with yellow leaves and morning sunlight. A close up of a forest floor covered in orange and brown leaves. In the background, green foliage and a child appear out of focus. A single yellow fern illuminated by the morning sun stands amidst other ferns and foliage hidden in shadow.

The centre of our galaxy. The portion of the sky no night photographer can resist. This is my favourite time of year to enjoy it – when it appears perfectly vertical, well before midnight, in the crisp fall air.

Great display of aurora happening tonight. I could see the green portions very easily with the naked eye (albeit mostly colourless, as per usual, due to the limitations of human vision).

A lighthouse on a dune at sunset. The lighthouse is a four-sided design and is white with red trim. A sandy path lined with a rope fence leads toward the lighthouse.

The arrival of August always makes me just a little bit sad. Summer is still in full swing and it’s beautiful and the bugs & grass are finally manageable and it’s very much a top tier month…

…but suddenly the end is in sight, y’know?
Fluffy clouds lit with golden light above the tops of some trees.
