My "go-to-sleep-sound". Lake Huron sound in my case.

Since my sore back won't let me shovel snow ...
I turned some of last summer's Jostaberry harvest into jam.
Now the jars are popping reassuringly as they seal.
Got to do something 😉.

Such a good program! Should I ever end up in a place like that, or hospital, I hope there will be a visiting Golden Retriever.

Yay! We can leave the house through this door now 🙂. And peek over the top edge of the snow.
Perfect snow for building igloos, "easy" to cut into blocks.
Also: it's snowing again.

It's snowing again. We haven't even made a dent into last night's snow, and it's building up again.
The city is pretty much shut down, so are many stores.
Looking for some beauty in this mess: a snowdrift, photographed through the kitchen window.

Today:
1. Daylight Saving Time started. Not a fan.
2. Went for a hike up a mountain road.
3. Slipped on an icy patch on said mountain road. Crashed onto my knee. Crashed camera.
4. Had a nap to recover from this day.
5. Camera still works.
And now the sun shines 🌞.

It's a foggy monochrome day but I needed that little speck of colour in the photo: the top of the fire tower mountain.

A winter thunderstorm woke me up last night. I was briefly thinking about the camping stove and my little Turkish mocha pots before drifting off again.
Obviously, the power stayed with us ☕.
But thinking of my Michigan followers who got the brunt of it.

So that's what it must be called: kayaker's high.
When after the winter I get into my kayak the first km feels like "I'm now too old for this". After that phase I get on autopilot (the "zone") and can paddle for hours without any effort.
Just have to kick myself through that first difficult, clumsy first phase..

Today we managed to pass a leaking old beaver dam that is now frozen to the ground.
Snowshoe-packed a trail further into the bush. Yodelled and the old chickadees found us (the families seem to have their territories). How did we know it was them?
They landed on us immediately 😂. And talked!
Happy to see they have survived another year.

PSA (from the city): let a thin stream of cold water run over night to keep the pipes from freezing, until April, they say.
The frost is deep in the ground.

2026-01-25 15:40:35 UTC

After yesterday's gorgeous blue sky we're back to grey.
The snow shovel in my car proved useful to dig someone else out, stuck in a snowbank in an area without cell coverage, at -20°C no less.
The birds got the scraps of roast duck, while the broth I had cooked earlier froze solidly outside.
Making the best out of the cold spell.

2026-01-23 03:05:19 UTC

Snowshoed a bit in the woods before the deep freeze will be hitting us with -37°C windchill in the morning.
The chickadees received supplemental sunflower seeds, and this Red-breasted Nuthatch came to stock up too.

It's cold enough to photograph frozen soap bubbles, but also too cold to hold the camera with bare hands for any length of time.
Here's one from a few winters ago.
Maybe I'll try again later.

Now I know why the kicksled wouldn't slide yesterday: the skis were coated with hard, sharp ice underneath 🤦. Thawed it out in the house.
If I still have the energy after having recovered from shovelling yet another 15 cm of snow I'll go for a run later.

Snowshoed into the bush again to check if the birds found the feeder in a tree: they did, though probably only earlier today.
A few more Black-capped Chickadees, a Red-breasted Nuthatch, and a Blue Jay were busy carrying seeds away. They should be well prepared for tomorrow's snow storm.
An older photo but the same scene.

First snowshoe walk of the winter. Testing the ice, promptly broke through where the beavers built a dam. Feet stayed dry but dam(n) beavers! 😒
Also, yodelling for the local chickadees, one came and quickly went into action hiding every seed away.
We left a filled feeder behind. I hope next time there will be more birds.
And thicker ice!

Mastodon was unavailable for a few hours today.
What did I miss?
Got the floors washed instead, so all was not lost 😂.

A brisk walk up the road to the fire tower is the best exercise I can get here now (since the kayaking season is over).

November 1rst, and there are still flowers in the garden. I also picked two more ripe raspberries.
The next night will likely put an end to this unusually long flowering season.

This guy, a White-throated Sparrow, spent the last few days in a small bird feeder, munching away. The other birds - Juncos and White-crowned Sparrows - seem to have left.
All the seeds for him!

A big load of Mossy Maze Polypore mushrooms (Cerrena unicolor) growing on a dead birch. The intense green colour is caused by algae.
There's an interesting relationship with two wasp species. More here: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/cerrena_unicolor.html

Thank you! I may have highlighted "Function selection" 🤦. I'm obviously not good with these technicalities.
I'll try again tomorrow, after a good night's sleep.
Writing down every single step.
II really appreciate your time and effort to help me out.

Thank you. I did that now, but it will still turn on recording when I accidentally switch it on.
It hasn't changed a thing as far as I can tell.

Thank you. I found that screen at last, it was unchecked.
😬 Should it be checked? Scared of changing something, then not remembering where/what I changed if I made a mistake.

There is one thing, and one thing only, that I don't like on my Fuji XT5: lately I keep accidentally switching on the movie setting instead of just the sleeping camera.
I am making a lot of short videos lately that all end with a curse.
Wish I could just bury it somewhere deep in the menu.

A miniature world: this mushroom's cap is about 4 mm across. Those are pine needles behind it.

A break in the rain let me get outside to catch all the colours. Those trees in the centre 😍.

Walking after the sun burnt off the fog.
The Maples are turning red though the thermometer says: it's summer!

Strange mushroom find in the forest: my initial thought was someone poured yellow paint over this white Trametes pubescens fungus.
Unlikely in the middle of nowhere.
I think it is covered with a slimemold (Physarum polycephalum?).
Any thoughts? 🤔

Blue -Stain Fungus or Green Wood Cup (Chlorociboria sp.) are very small and grow in dark corners of rotting wood. The cups are just a few mm wide.
The hyphen of these mushrooms colour the wood blue even when the cups are not visible.
