This Pileated Woodpecker showed up for breakfast this morning. Seen a few Downey's and Hairy's on the suet but this is the first big one.



Downey...with that clip on telephoto lens on the tablet. little out of focus.

Might be the last "decent" night for a fire until spring around these parts.

Loved when I got to fly seaplanes. I always had a grin you couldn't possible smack off. My two favorite things rolled into one. Boats and airplanes.

Thank you. We had the pool built 2 years ago and then had it landscaped with mixture of rock and mulch (on inside of fence) which I never really liked that much once it was done. This year I had landscapers pull everything we just did last year and replace it all with 23 tons of river rock, the paver patio with fire pit and seating wall, and concrete steps going down to the second gate. My wife wasnt that happy to be redoing everything a year later but it turned out much better this time I think.

Only problem with a pool is that my wife would never want to go out on the boat!!?

Never know, we have only our pool for 2 summers and my wife was always up to go to the lake at any time.

This doesn't have the @John McLaughlin presentation flare but my wife really hit it out of the ball park (and this is left-overs for lunch),

everything home made,
Tomatillo salsa verde with pork
refried beans
rice

I feel like I'm eating restaurant food,

We socially distanced on the patio Christmas. My 2 daughters and the boyfriend of the oldest. Plus Lily dog.

I wasn’t aware of this “phenomenon” before I flew Paramotor’s. I’m sure some of the real pilots out there are. But when flying above clouds, the sunlight somehow refracts around you and casts a rainbow around your shadow on the clouds.

there isn’t a “halo” on the third picture, you can stop looking for one. I just though it was a cool picture too. ?

Yes, halos are quite common if the light hits just right. As a "real" pilot, I'm a little concerned that you are above and so close to the clouds. If an airplane came popping through those clouds on an instrument flight plan, you could have a potentially ugly situation. Just sayin. Very pretty, but I don't think you're legal right there.

I clipped on this cheap Bell & Howell telephoto lens to my cell phone camera. I wanted to get a closer view of Malletts bay that just skimmed over with ice in the last 24hrs.

What does Madical cannabis have to do with the light effect off the clouds? What is madical cannabis? I can see how medical cannabis might influence the effect, but you don't have to go to Canada for it. Plenty around my neck of the woods now. Did not know if that was aviator terminology.

The neighborhood Ermine has been busy this morning. I cross the brook by its den in the bank.

My commute vehicle into the woods. Until the snow gets deeper, then the Kubota.



My own private parking spot.



There is a lot going on at this anchor tree with all the lines coming in.

This is so cool, I want to make one...just waiting for thicker ice.
