Giant Leopard #Moths, Hypercompe scribonia, were frequent visitors to the bug light this year. What looks like black markings from a distance, is revealed to be a rich iridescent blue upon closer look. Some have spots, and some have rings. #MacroPhotography #Mothmas #Invertefest

Been taking their pictures for years, never once attacked by any.

This is a very familiar sight. I'm lucky if I can ride up quietly enough to glimpse them ahead enough to stop and watch them for a bit.

In a spectacular display of questionable grace, this Green Heron demonstrates the 'faceplant-first' approach to aquatic entry, seemingly having forgotten the standard 'feet-first' protocol. A perfect score of 1.5 from the judges for this ambitious, albeit undignified, dive. #OhMyDouglas #Birds 🦉🌿🦅🐦

That said, I do see things covered in ice down on the waterfront. I've heard stories and seen images of people's cars left on the waterfront overnight turning out like the bushes in my image here.

Our feathered friend here is getting great reception with that TV antenna in the background. Best seat in the house on this red brick wall for the blue hour sunset show. 😆🤙✨ #Birds 🦉🦅🐦🌿🍁 #Photography #ImBrickingIt #AnotherBrickInTheWall #Wildlife #TalonsOut #RaptorLogic #BlueMeAway #OhMyDouglas

Watch for spalling (ice rolling on top of water becoming balls), and spray onto bushes and trees on shore, sometimes on cars parked nearby.

First, you are immediately assaulted by two intensely focused, yellow eyes that just look through your soul, past your insecurities, and right to that embarrassing thing you did in 2019. It’s a gaze that says, "I am 90% beak and 10% pure disdain." #Birds 🌿🪶🦉🦅🍁 #OhMyDouglas

Ahhh yup -- I'm gonna need moar lens than what I have now, to be able to crop in this much while maintaining resolution, unless it's a very very close encounter. #Birds 🌿🪶🦉🦅🐦🍁

A juvenile hawk's guide to a proper staredown: 'You blink first, I win.' If you're going to stare, at least make it hawkward. 🌿🪶🦉🐦🦅🍁 #Birds #Wildlife #Art #Photography #OhMyDouglas #HawkwardStaredown #FeatherWeatherStare #TalontedGaze #RedTail #JustWinginIt #Beakaboo #Toronto #Canada

Another lovely sunset over the lake. This time it’s -30°C, but the wind has finally calmed down leaving snow drifts in its wake.

The crime here wasn't caused by bicyclists. Police acted wrongly in this case. It's bloody obvious.

“The Environmental Bill of Rights is one of ON's most important environmental laws. Continued non-compliance signals a lack of respect for the rule of law. There is blatant and ongoing disregard for these legal obligations, and that’s a big concern.” - Ecojustice’s Ian Miron.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
