Don't go anywhere anymore, so embarrassed to post, but maybe these being from my favorite 18mm may be of interest, have not had much rain, very clear skies most days.

I didn't think it got real cold where you are. Also, I love the second image.
Thanks Leighton! In comparison to places further to the east, in terms of the thermometer readings, it does not get especially cold here in the relatively low-lying parts of BC (though it can of course get quite cold to extremely cold at the higher elevations---as you probably know, this is a particularly mountainous region). However, having lived in both Newfoundland and Ontario in the past, I recognize that relatively warm temperatures here can be just as uncomfortable and can cause just as much trouble for people as much colder temps do elsewhere. The overnight low where I live went as low as -17°C (1°F) and the daytime low hit -10°C (14°F). For this part of Vancouver Island, those are cold temperatures. What makes living here so great is that they only lasted a few days, until the "polar vortex" decided to shuffle along. Now we're just hovering around 0° to -4°C (32° to 25°F).
For today's installment of fall photos, here are three from the X-T4 at Olympic National Park in Washington State. The Lens Turbo II was mounted, as always, and it was ably assisted by the 50 f/1.2 Ai-s (first two) and the 16 f/3.5 Ai fisheye.

I love these! Especially the first two. Every time I see your work with the Lens Turbo 2, it makes my itch to shoot grow.

Are you in the southern or northern part of the island? I once thought I might move there.
With his resistance severely depleted, all he could muster was "You're bad".
You in luck though, she is an equal opportunity Curtis 2ic. You're not the only one she's trying to get to buy that Df. Keep dragging feet and your wish will be satisfied.
The 32" smart TV as a monitor was working so good I decided to upgrade one of my primary Windows based imaging stations to the same model. However, they were out of stock. So went to the 42" model of the same manufacturer. These were shot with the 16mm f3.5 ai fisheye (infrared), and the 24mm f2.8 ais. Best part is that "cash back" paid for the whole thing + a $100 gift card. I can read those fonts now!
We had a major blizzard here (about 18 inches), and the birds and animals we feed have been talking to their neighbors. The amount of feed is high, as is the entertainment, but numbers grew drastically. Here are two of approximately 12 Squirrels, and two of about 6-8 Downy Woodpeckers. The cats and I watch the same channel on the big scream TV. Nikkor 600mm f5.6 ais and TC-16A
This is GREAT. The birds, the fence, the Instagram friendly crop.

Congrats on the new big screen monitor. I'm spying the number of pictures you have in your library and now I don't feel too bad at all about my library. Of course, the size of my library has more to do with insufficient culling rather than a broad variety of work or clients, or a history from your previous occupation. I'm guessing you have a strong keywording or Collection system in LR.
