It's 8o on our thermostat, officially 6o in our town and 0o in the Georgia mountains. At least we don't have any snow but it's going to be a tough day for the birds & animals down South. It's also election day here. Stay warm!

A Blue Tit taken at Pennington Flash a while back in at the end of september.
Having a week off that's annoyingly been shared with horrible grey sky's and near gale force winds has rather dampened the spirits. I've started to be cricial again and admiring the work of some great photographers has mad me thinking why am I not getting shots like that?
This seems to be a regular process for me but one that hopefully has a positive outcome in making me realise that I'm not doing too bad with the level of gear I have and the techniques for processing I have. But one element i feel is missing and thats the ability to nail that amazing shot with the right settings. Perhaps I'm close but I feel I need to practise more. If I go somewhere to practise a certain type of shot or style, I'm constantly distracted by other birds or events that draw me away from my original goal. So at some point I'm gonna have to actually do what I plan to and try the different settings and get the technique right so when it counts I know just what to do.
I'll leave you with this Blue tit for now, I've done a few things new in PP to improve slightly a few issues. I hope the image is enjoyed though I'm a little worried I've over sharpened but I hope not.

This is a valentine in memory of all those romances which once held such hope, but have since evaporated or exploded. See "Blue Romance" from Feb. 4, 2010 at lynnbridge.wordpress.com.
I've got ear ache today - just enough to annoy me but not enough to do anything about it
I'm so lethargic :S
Anyways - Happy Blue Monday
I'm going to try and capture the many faces Toto seems to pull. He's so expressive.
I went for harsher editing on this photo.
Why so serious Toto?
This Great Blue Heron was hunting in the marsh at the duck pond at Colony Farm Park in Coquitlam BC. From hunting in the waters surrounded by disintegrating bulrushes, it's beak has become coated in bulrush fluff.
Not the best specimen though who can blame her with the weather this year.
ps. can you spot the cricket
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do,
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue.
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.

The squirrels had some quick compitation today, these jays were pretty quick to swoop in and snatch the acorns.
This is one just sitting and waiting for me to toss the next one.

These four sequential frames were taken in the time span of one second. Pretty amazing flying if you ask me.
More feathers! A brilliant blue one that fell off a feather duster and a white one that a seagull didn't want! No expense spared when it comes to subjects!
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon (Icelandic: Bláa lónið) is a geothermal spa and one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The spa is located in a lava field in Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwestern Iceland.
The warm waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulfur. The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages 37–39 °C. The Blue Lagoon also operates a research and development facility to help find cures for skin ailments using the mineral-rich water.
The lagoon is a man-made lagoon which is fed by the water output of the nearby geothermal power plant Svartsengi and is renewed every two days. Superheated water is vented from the ground near a lava flow and used to run turbines that generate electricity. After going through the turbines, the steam and hot water passes through a heat exchanger to provide heat for a municipal water heating system. Then the water is fed into the lagoon for recreational and medicinal users to bathe in.

What a great Thanksgiving Day surprise! The blue birds returned again. They have been coming back for the past month. There were a total of five. They go in and out of the box and I usually give them a cap full of meal worrns and then they disappear again for a while.
