Earth's escape velocity = 11.27 km/s, so get used to being here. I take between 5-8 K photos per year. Some are even good!

Good morning to my small but mighty squirrel neighbour. That is one impressive cache of maple seeds, and it’s one of three I can see from my window.

Always smiling. She could instantly click with anyone. And if there was a dog involved, well ... they knew to come straight to her.

Miss you, sis.

I miss her so much already. Tough road ahead.

1) Sheri, Mom and I in NYC awaiting a taping of The Late Show

2) Sheri bumped into Canadian astronaut Colonel Christopher Hadfield at a ball game

3) Sheri being Sheri with her youngest son Trevor

4) Sheri, Christmas, 2015

I’m Sheri’s brother. Please watch for her or her truck wherever you are seeing this. Surrey was only ever a possibility based on cell towers which can be inaccurate. Call the RCMP with file number 2025-39325 if you have anything at all that could possibly help. Thank you.

(2/2)

from Kamloops and device pings are not always accurate with locations.

Please watch for her or her truck wherever you are seeing this. This photo of her is from last month.

Her disappearance is extremely out of character.

RCMP file number 2025-39325 if you have ANY information. Thank you.

One of two cascades at Flatbed Falls (Tumbler Ridge, B.C.) for #WaterfallWednesday. Low water allowed me to walk right out above it ... while staying dry.

Enjoyed a drive to Wells today. Less snow than I've seen in some years, but still very pretty.

People who steal from others are the worst. Don’t fall for this “BC Hydro” scam.

There’s a warning about increased scam activity on the BC Hydro website.

This focus-stack worked well, but I need to pay more attention to the edges. I didn't notice the bottom left fern creeps out of the frame. 🤨

A shot from September. This was supposed to be a crisp, focus-stacked image, but I goofed the settings and the shots won't blend together, so I'm just sharing the one with the most focus on the shrooms.

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #small.

There's a moss-covered, gravel roof over an entrance to my apartment building, and this little fungi has found a home there.

I wish I had a ladder so I could shoot this properly versus hand-held through my apartment window.

A few things that caught my eye lately. The leaves are focus-stacked.

Every time I see a headline like those here, I have to read/watch.

I know another SD73 property that could use something on it. I doubt the old primary school in Chase can be renovated back to usability, but it seems a shame the land is just sitting unused for years.

Them: "Oh, your hobby is photography. What do you like to take photos of?"

Me, checking watch: "How much time do you have?"

Downy woodpeckers are the smallest woodpeckers in North America, but this one has a big, confident personality. 🙂

Does anyone know what this cloud type is called? Altocumulus, cirrocumulus or stratocumulus? Or perhaps something else?

Funky, anyway.

But did you find the monkey heads?!

Maybe the most photogenic #mushroom I found in 2025.
November 19, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Very cool! I’ve only ever seen one but managed an iPhone video!
November 19, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Well, #Wordle ... that was a good run.

See you tomorrow.
