A Bohemian waxwing (Jaseur boreal). They are migrating back to their breeding grounds in the North, many to the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska.. A flock stayed here (near Montreal) for a week or so eating whatever fruit remained on the trees or had fallen on the ground.

A Bohemian waxwing (Jaseur boreal). They are migrating back to their breeding grounds in the North and just passing through here near Montreal. A flock stayed for a week or so eating all fruit remaining on the trees after winter or fallen on the ground. This picture shows the red markings in the wing quite well, which is supposedly where the name waxwing came from as it resembles the red wax used in seals. This was late in the afternoon and the birds seemed to show a strong preference to remain in the shadows.

Happy New Year- The very best wishes for 2016 Innukshuks (or innuksuks) are stone piles or carins originally made by the indigenous people of the Arctic.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

A fossil fish, about 2.5 cm. I don't know much about this - it belongs to my father-in-law. (Cell phone picture)
