Autumn tree trunks.
A second shot from my Sunday morning walk during week 44. I was considering this as the pick for week and now I think I prefer this shot.
I was struck by the number of trees initially and then the pattern and complexity of them now that most of the leaves are off the branches.
Week 44. Clinging on.
We had lots of wind, rain and wet snow in week 44. I went for a walk on Sunday morning and spotted this solitary Maple leaf still clinging on despite the recent weather.
Canada Geese flying to roost at sunset.
One from the archives taken 11 years ago this week.
I had gone down to the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario for the sunset behind Chantry Island when a small V of Canada Geese flew over so I reframed to include them.

Grumpy looking Blue Jay.
A shot from Sunday afternoon of week 43. It was alternating between light rain and wet snow. I had set the camera up because there had been two Fox Sparrows in the yard earlier.
The Fox Sparrows didn’t reappear but I got shots of various species including this Blue Jay. I think it’s just the angle of the birds head that’s making it look grumpy.
Napping male Common Pochard.
Throwback Thursday travels back to Cheshire in the 1990s. This male Common Pochard was napping in front of a wooden hide (blind) on a reservoir in south Cheshire. The ripples and peeking eye add to the image for me.
Large numbers of Common Pochard winter in the U.K. and this bird was in a small flock that visited the reservoir.
