Ascending symmetry, head of a young lupin. My old (13 year) camera finally bit the dust a few months ago so I bought a new one a few days ago and having been playing with the buttons to get a feel for it.

Juxtaposition. The male gaze? The sculpture is called the Illuminated crowd. "The Illuminated Crowd, a sculpture where 65 people of all ages, race, facial expressions and conditions are depicted on four platforms, illustrates the degradation of the human race and symbolizes the fragility of the human condition. Created by Franco-British artist, Raymond Mason, this unique public sculpture is made from stratified polyester resin with polyurethane paint and is located just outside the main gate of McGill University.

Two Mourning Cloak (or Camberwell Beauty, Nymphalis antiopa. le morio) butterflies. They hibernate through the winter and are the first large butterflies on the wing in Spring. These were feeding on sap escaping form a recently cut tree trunk, there were also several flies also feeding these juices. The one on the top has seen much better days I think.

Handshake and longevity: a couple of things we could all use these days.

Verbascum thapsus, the great mullein, is a European plant that has adapted very successfully to living in N. America as a fairly common weed.

Every autumn we bring our rosemary plant indoors to escape the winter. It responds by bursting into flower. They are tiny, but looked at closely they are beautiful examples of nature's engineering.

First snow of the season. Canoes.

First snow of the season. This is close to an abandoned orchard, I think it might be the old apple barn.

Happy Halloween. The haunted house down the road.

A slightly wet blue jay.

A duck showing her finery. I think they were gathering to migrate south.
