“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” ― W.B. Yeats For my father on his heavenly birthday. #Cloudbusting #Dawn #Landscape #Photography #Above

Submerged... Mill Creek, Edmonton. On my run. Very 'Heart of Darkness'... #rain #smoke

I moved from for profit to nonprofit. Neither are easy spaces to work in. I had dinner with a old client tonight. A family business. Mid sized. Complicated. (Like all family businesses). But the thing that stood out was: service & respect. On both sides of the table. How that matters, years later.

Heroics...before the workday. As my Dad always said, "The only person you should compete with is the person you were yesterday..." #classicmono #blackandwhite #bnw #photography #minimalmonday #streetphotography #YEG #peopleinframe

Friends always give friends soft pillows for their heads. #props #chops #dogs #friends #mydog #pets

Stunday... This bridge was named after the neighbourhood of Quesnell Heights which itself was named after…a local someone. That part is lost in the mists of time. Some say it was named for Jules Maurice Quesnel, a French-Canadian clerk with the North West Company. I'm going with that. #Stunday #YEG

'Smoke Tariffs'... I can't even.

Be Elegant... A web & a chain link fence - shows the scale of thinking we use for everything because we are big, dumb & clumsy. A web is elegant. It's not a barrier; it's a shopping cart. It sustains. We're good at making barriers... #Photography #Nature #Beauty #Dawn #Intentional #Details #ECK

Olive Lake... is a stunning alpine lake in Kootenay National Park, BC, located east of Radium Hot Springs along Highway 93. I'm running early today. The heat is here 29 C. Stay cool. #Scape #Serene #Nature #ForestScape #BlueSky #ForestFriday #Reflections #NationalParks #GetOutside #CA

Urban Canopy... for @munsonalison.bsky.social (I use to follow you on the bad bird place!) This shot is meant to show what was and provide an antidote to the wildfire smoke. This is Edmonton's urban canopy in 2015. That's Eastglen I believe. Elms mostly. #urbangaze #citytrees #trees #yeg #Edmonton

Feets of Strength... A street performer hoists his partner for a crowd. #HumansOfBluesky #StreetPhotography #Edmonton #Photography #UrbanPhotography #CityLife

Splendid... A wall of windows, a bathing bird, a man with a sign for legs. Hope your day is a little surreal. #WindowsonWednesday #windows #WindowsWednesday #WednesdayWindows #WallsOnWednesday #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Reflections #AbLeg #YEG

A Back Door... A red sash keeps the sunset at bay on an old house I run by in my neighbourhood. These post war houses are on the way out. Their land is food for multiplexes, the sad, bland cancer of utility. #EastCoastKin #UrbanArt #Photography #ArtChallenge #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBForBehind #YEG

The Netflix algorithm occasionally lobs me a curve ball.

Falling Behind... in July, I can't keep up with the grass on my lawn. #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #ArtChallenge #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBForBehind #MinimalMonday #July

After The Rain... Another lightening fast prairie storm rolled through. So fast. #Photography #ECK #ColorADay #GreenSat #Berries #Raindrops #July #Nature

Shredded... The clouds above our house were oddly 'ripped' after a strong storm went through here last night. (I've seen photos posted from all over the world this summer showing weird clouds. Many from Europe where it is abnormally hot.) #clouds #lookup #photography #yegwx #weather

Behind every great dog is a cat contemplating a murder... #caturday

The Graphic Arts Building... I worked in the #graphicarts back in the day. It was a hands-on trade until it was improved to death by digital. This old building received its art-deco exterior in the 1930s. It was torn down in 2022. #Alphabetchallenge #WeekAForAbandoned #YEG #Architecture #Edmonton

Where's All The Magic Gone... My eye looks for poetry these days, finding in its fragmentation the proper echos of a disintegrating world. #Scape #Composition #BlueskyArtShow #Artyear

This local family bought my photo for their son's birthday. "Finally celebrating with this guy for his 17th birthday! Thanks to Jeff Day for the amazing shot of the Garneau theatre, a special place for this cinephile! Printed on canvas and floating frame mounted, it looks stunning." #YEG #Art

A wildfire sun halved by a spruce in a prairie glade. Fire seems far away and impossible but... When I was 16, I worked for an old Dutch man. He'd occasionally stop working and look across the prairie and say, "If it rains tomorrow..." #ForestFriday #Woodlands #Wildfires #Photography #Nature #CA

Smokeshow... A lone bike rider crosses the river with the sky coloured by smoke from a #wildfire by Fort McMurray I was told. This photo was from a number of very weird images I shot this morning. Flooding. Wildfire Smoke. Strange weather combos. #Noticing #MinimalMonday #yegbike #YEG #photography

In 1996 there wasn't extreme weather there was only extreme dating. That's when I started dating Leah. Initially she was having NONE OF IT but by 2003, I married her. Because 'Fat Jeff' was just learning about the depths of his will power and so was Leah. Love is a marathon not a race.❤️ #anniversary

Is the 'Orange Alert' for the impending flooding or the 6 million mosquitoes surrounding my house? #YEG #yegwx #weather

Day Job Update... 3 brothers & the #teacher that taught all of them. The boy on the left graduated yesterday. The boy to the right of her graduated last year. The boy on far right is still in high school. The teacher is dedicated, motivating; working on her PhD. #YEG #humansofbluesky #respect #grad
