Chasing the standoffish sandhill cranes (they don’t seem to want to get any closer than about 100 yards), I gave up trying to get good pictures of them and started taking pictures of things that were more accommodating. Like the near and far vista.

Certainly we're still waiting for a comprehensive, coherent and workable program from Poilievre. We need one and it may be a long wait. But here he asked a relevant question about consulting contracts and Trudeau responded with totally off-topic verbal yoga. I call it shameful. https://twitter.com/MarcLevesqueEco/status/1620479661078884353
@thejohnrobson I’m certainly no fan of Trudeau, he’s right in saying that Poilievre has no solutions. I may be wrong, but I can’t recall a single concrete policy proposal on his part. He can’t even say what he would have done during the pandemic (I assume nothing). Slogans are not policies.
Ah yes, but in many applications (even beyond the obvious/standard IT usage) as in tables with dates, it's better to do the reverse (yyyy-mmm-dd) because then things sort in chronological order and present in an easy-to-understand sequence.
day-month-year is the most logical and obvious way to do it and i declare vengeance on anyone that uses month-day-year https://twitter.com/TerribleMaps/status/1620111664078290945
Lovely!
Alison – Thanks! I guess growing up in Alberta affected my esthetic sense, as it did yours.
Beautiful! Lighting, colour, composition, geology – everything.
Judith – Many thanks!
Isabel – With respect to sandhill cranes, maybe you should invest in a higher magnification lens.
John – Ive thought about it, but it also means a tripod — a heavy duty one. I’m not sure how much time I’ll spend watching and waiting . . .
