I loved this old fishing boat with the crab traps beside it. I thought it had such character. Taken in Newfoundland, Canada.

No, I didn't catch it on the fly, so to speak - it was hovering. Working on my dragonfly technique, I can see in retrospect if I wanted to maximize the camera settings for resting vs in flight, I gotta make that choice. You want fast shutter speed, freeze the wings, or nice slow rich ISO on one at rest. (Or eating something might be OK too.) That clean lakeside bg definitely helps with focus acquisition. So, next time out I might try making the flight vs rest choice. One more thing that tickled me is how the landing gear is folded up. Cool stuff.
I liked the perch this Mountain Bluebird was on. Taken north of Calgary, Alberta.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
