We had a good time tracking this great blue heron by the river last weekend. I got lucky and managed to see him catching a fish.

I was going to say “Snap, Grackle, Pop”, but that was too cheesy, so just enjoy this photo of a common grackle!

I had some fun trying to get photos of frozen bubbles since the temperatures have been below -30 Celsius here lately. I used an approximation of a bubble liquid mixture I got from a guy named Chris Ratzlaff on Twitter. 100ml water and about a tablespoon each of corn syrup, sugar, and dishwashing liquid. I also took some video of them so you can actually watch the crystals forming in real time. Please visit my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/SteveBoerPhotography/videos to see them.
So I knew to get lots of stars I needed to get out of the city so here’s a star trail shot taken yesterday at Elk Island National Park. It was nice because we were able to have a fire to keep warm while waiting for the camera. We roasted some hot dogs and marshmallows and listened to music to pass the time, almost two hours, that it took to get all the necessary shots. The first shot I took was of us sitting on the bench and I blended that in after creating the star trails with the rest of the photos using a great free program called StarStax by Markus Enzweiler.

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.
