Happy New Year- The very best wishes for 2016 Innukshuks (or innuksuks) are stone piles or carins originally made by the indigenous people of the Arctic. They vary from very simple to extremely elaborate structures . According to Wiki they served many different uses but were often landmarks or signposts on the tundra. The idea has caught on, and wherever you go in Canada, if there are rocks and space to spare someone is likely to pile up an innukshuk. But just like graffiti, you never see who did it. This one was in the Don River Valley in Toronto.

A black capped chickadee, a very lively bird that stays over the winter.

A rosemary flower. The flowers are small, only a few millimeters, but very intricate.

The seat of power. This is from the office of the Viceroy or Governor of Zhili from the Qing dynasty in Baoding, about 140 Km South of Beijing. The red sun is the emperor. The crane standing on a rock is a symbol of high office, presumably referring to the Viceroy. The province of Zhilin surrounded the Imperial capital, which made the governor a powerful political force. The mansion is now a tourist attraction although the West wing was destroyed in the cultural revolution

The summer has irretrievably slipped into the first days of autumn, the trees are still full of leaves but they are slowly starting to yellow.

The summer has irretrievably slipped into the first days of autumn, the days are shorter and the nights cooler, the insects chase the last few days of heat in the long grass.
