If any of my followers are in Australia, I will be on ABC Radio National's Breakfast Show tomorrow at about 2 p.m. EST time.
I'll be talking about The Dionne Quintuplets.

In a province as big as Ontario, there’s no reason the Eglinton LRT should be on its 15th year of construction with no opening date in sight. I stopped by Little Jamaica to see for myself the real impact of these delays: 300+ businesses closing and a community that was once thriving now struggling.

For the past few Christmases, I have watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended editions of course) through the day while I work on my laptop.
Since I already watched LOTR a few months ago, this Christmas I am doing a John Candy movie marathon.

"Perched confidently on a slender tree branch, a Northern Cardinal radiates vibrant red brilliance against a backdrop of muted greens and soft browns. Its plumage is a fiery scarlet, glowing like embers in the morning light, with each feather etched in fine detail. The bird’s crest rises like a flame atop its head, giving it a regal silhouette. Around its beak and eyes, a sharp black mask adds contrast and character, framing its gaze with intensity and mystery. The branch beneath it is textured and weathered, a quiet pedestal for this striking figure. Leaves in the background whisper in soft green tones, offering a gentle frame that lets the cardinal’s color sing. The image captures a moment of stillness and alertness — the bird poised, proud, and watchful, as if guarding a secret or preparing to announce a song." - Microsoft Copilot

Cardinal Covenant

Two Northern Cardinals share a quiet moment on the LUV Swing—one ember, one flame—perched side by side in gentle alliance. ...

1/2

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #NorthernCardinals
"Two cardinals perch side by side on a miniature wooden swing, suspended by slender black cords like a rustic altar in midair. The swing resembles a tiny bench—weathered, softened by time, its grain etched with quiet stories of wind and rain. The bird on the left is a female Northern Cardinal, cloaked in warm brown tones with subtle red accents brushing her wings, tail, and crest—like embers tucked into feathers. She gazes outward with composed curiosity. Beside her, the male Northern Cardinal blazes in vibrant red, his plumage a bold declaration against the muted wood. His crest stands proud, a flame-shaped crown, and his presence feels both protective and ceremonial. Together, they form a visual duet—earth and fire, subtlety and brilliance—balanced on a swing that sways gently in the hush of morning. The background is softly blurred, a wash of greens and browns that cradle the scene in quiet reverence. The image feels like a moment suspended in time: a shared perch, a whispered alliance, a swing between worlds." - Copilot

Sky Shadow

This vulture soared above, its silhouette slicing the sky. Thoughtful edits brought out its rugged essence—feathers textured like brushstrokes, colors echoing a western palette. The final image blends realism with painterly grace.
"A turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) soars overhead, its wings fully extended in a sweeping, aerodynamic arc that commands the frame. Captured from below against a stark white background, the bird’s silhouette is bold and unmistakable—broad wings, slightly upturned at the tips, and a body built for gliding on thermals with minimal effort. The plumage is unexpectedly vibrant: deep blue feathers cloak the body and wings, while the outermost flight feathers shimmer with a gradient of iridescent hues—green melting into gold like sunlight refracted through storm clouds. The feather patterns are sharply defined, each one etched with texture and motion, revealing the intricate architecture that allows this scavenger to ride the wind with eerie grace. The vulture’s pose is dynamic, mid-glide, as if frozen in a moment of silent surveillance. Its head is small and streamlined, tucked into the posture of flight, and though the face isn’t visible, the overall form evokes a sense of purpose and quiet mastery of the skies. The plain white background isolates the bird, turning its flight into a kind of living sculpture—every curve, every color, every feather elevated into focus. The watermark “© Swede’s Photographs” rests in the bottom right corner, a subtle signature to this arresting portrait of motion and form." - Copilot
