Night Vision
Inspired by this article at the incredible photoblog Available Light (no really, add them to your reader right now, don't even question it), I headed out onto the ice to play with a little night photography. I have much to learn, too much really. But these are the best two of the bunch. The colour…

Our Cirque Du Soleil
The Sun returned to Arctic Bay today. A little before noon, Travis, who had been checking the horizon every couple of minutes, saw the first sliver of it peeking above the mountains across Adam's Sound. Apparently though three months without it have destroyed whatever mediocre camera skills I had. Both my lenses, unnoticed until later,…

Congratulations go out to Amy Evenstad, who crafted the winning entry in this month's First Friday over at WildBird on the Fly. I rather liked my entry this month, I might just expand the concept to a longer story. And in case you are at all interested, here it is. Eating Ghosts Five days. Heʼd…

I and The Bird in a land down under
My good friend Duncan, of Ben Cruachan Blog has put together a fair dinkum bushman edition of the latest I and the Bird. Or rather he convinced an old Bushie, his cobber I gather, to put it together for him. This offsider has done an ace job for a highly entertaining edition of the best…

We are less than a week away from the return of the sun, it actually can be seen by people willing to go up to the airport, as of yesterday. The sky has been showing off in anticipation of its return.

Envelope please…
The Nunies are over for another year, and the winners have been chosen. One of the most interesting things (to my mind anyway) of The Nunies this year was the enthusiasm of the new blogs and their fans. Best New Blog was by far the most voted on category, and the closest race. It is…

I and the Bird Illustrated
Seabrooke, the wonderful blogger behind the brilliant Marvelous In Nature, has put together the latest I and the Bird (edition #117). Her edition? An illustrated one, simply clicking on the birds in drawing will take you to the various posts. Once again, as if you need reminding, there are marvelous words and photos from all…

Last Gasp
The voting for the Nunies is winding down, and there is less than 24 hours left. That means a couple of things. One, if you haven't voted you need to do so quickly. Two, if you're a nominated blog you don't have much time to do more lobbying amongst your readers.
