Clear skies last night let me capture the planets. Not quite the Great Conjunction but still pretty cool. This is a highly cropped composite of 3 images to bring out detail while still seeing Jupiter’s moons.

We were blessed to see owls two days in a row last weekend. A solitary fellow in one area and the pair in another. The way their tufts look like ears makes them seem very cat-like, and they were a joy to watch.

We made it out to Jasper National Park this past weekend. First Lake in the Valley of the Five Lakes might be even more beautiful when it’s frozen.

A porcupine sleeping high up in a tree. I don’t know how animals do stuff like this without falling.

St. Albert star trail with Neowise (the cyan/turquoise one cutting down through the top right third) and someone’s drone in the bottom left I think. And possibly a UFO near the top middle.
