At first the Bald Eagle's dive was so unexpected and close,that just getting a photo was amazing. I knew he's got something, I thought it was some unfortunate duck or fish. on reviewing the image it appears to be a gift from a fisherman. I had not noticed it, but the eagle had!

Splash!

Far beyond the East Ridge of Manitoulin Island's Elizabeth Bay it seems as if an asteroid plummeted into Lake Huron leaving a titanic splashback. I think this is a cumulonimbus incus cloud. "Incus" is Latin for "anvil," which this meteorological phenomenon can also be said to resemble. The cloud rises until it bumps into the stratosphere; it then spreads out and flattens but the clouds below, appearing above the tree line, appear far more terrifying. As Wikipedia tells us, cumulonimbus incus clouds are associated with severe weather including downbursts, heavy rain, and even the occasional tornado.

Driving the backroads just outside of Calgary when I spotted this amazing Great Grey Owl. They always remind me of a warm Cowichan sweater. Their calm demeanor always amazes me.
