Sorry about yesterday- we'll catch it up.

Just outside the car window, it was just turning to high fall. A few miles south, winter was already well underway.

This Black-billed Magpie (Pica pica) hung around 10 feet/three meters away for 20 minutes or so while I was at a rest area.  I think it was waiting for me to feed it.

I hopped out of the car to shoot what looked like a dramatic sunset as we drove along the Alaska Highway bypass to the west of Whitehorse, Yukon.  I didn't know until I arrived home that the throwaway shot of a ridgeline off to the south was a far better pic.
