****This frame was chosen on March 26th 2015 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #183. This is my 70th photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to everyone who visited, favourite and commented on the frame*****

Photograph taken at 10:42am at an altitude of Thirteen metres, on Thursday 18th September 2014, off the West Saanich Road 17A and Iverness Road, within the grounds of Coles Bay Regional Park, on the shoreline of Coles Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Coles Bay is a nine acre park Located on the West side of North Saanich, in the Ardmore Area, a location that I love to visit where driftwood and decaying trees are set against the beauty of the still water within the bay. I often encounter Great Blue Herons here, and love to relax whilst losing myself to the natural beauty that abounds.
