Winter light at sunset
A colourful sky during sunset. Sturgeon County.
Winter Morning Sun
The morning sun casts a slight yellow hue onto this GHO as it basks on a chilly (-18C) morning. Sturgeon County.
Remarkable
This unremarkable photo of Bohemian Waxwings in a tree is actually quite remarkable when you take a close look at the tree and consider this photo was taken on January 6th. Spot it? Sturgeon County.
Patch of light
Winter afternoon sunshine on foliage. Sturgeon County.
In deep
A squirrel deep in the woods. Sturgeon County.
Winter Afternoon Sun
I returned to the same tree where I saw Grey Eyes during my morning walk with the dog. He was in the same spot taking in the late afternoon winter sun, and I took a longer focal length lens. Sturgeon County.
Grey Eyes
The second of a pair of Great Horned Owls makes his (?) first appearance since the spring (for me). Overlooking the Sturgeon River in Sturgeon County.

Two planets and four moons
A fairly good crop of a shot of Jupiter and Saturn a day after their 400 year interval conjunction, showing the moons of Jupiter and the elliptical shape of the rings of Saturn . Sturgeon County.
A day late
The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, a 400 year event, occurred 24 hours before I took this shot across the moonlit river, it was cloudy yesterday (enough said!). Sturgeon County.
Inconspicuous
This Great Horned Owl is often seen roosting on this tree stump, not hard to see why. Sturgeon County.
The elusive buck
This white tailed buck has been playing hide a seek with me for a few days now, making it tough to get a clear view. Sturgeon County.
Moose
A cow in the moose browsing in the bush on a sunny winter morning. Sturgeon County.
Browse break
A female moose pauses her browsing in the morning sunshine to check me out. Sturgeon County.
Taking over
The Bald Eagle has been hanging around, and this morning was seen on the owl tree (sans owl). Sturgeon County.
Shelter
This GHO had returned to this tree to roost, a Bald Eagle flew off as I approached, I think it kind of snuggled into this position for protection. Sturgeon County.
My Blue Sky
The old ELO song came to mind when I came across this Bald Eagle while picking my way down the partly frozen Sturgeon River in Sturgeon County.
