This was a first time work for me, on this slide, I took a b/w shot as the Canon was set to shoot b/w and then take it and do a slide to see if it could work out from B/W to Color. 😊
These white pelicans were swimming together at Fernhill this last weekend, and at this point diverged, only to rejoin moments later. They were just so balanced here!
I liked how the two outside Tree Swallows splayed their outside wings. It looked like they wanted to showcase the swallow in the middle, just like me.
A return to Porth Nanven (Cot Valley), St Just, Cornwall.
Must admit I'd forgotten I'd shot this composition until going back through my files. It's a 3 bracket shot combined in post and whilst it doesn't have the 'dinosaur eggs' typical of the beach I liked the way the foreground rocks bookended The Brisons out at sea. The texture on the rocks also appealed ...and of course there was that sky!

An estimated 30-60% of goslings die before fledging, so this group's survival rate of 50% (thus far) is pretty average.
July 26 update - all still alive
A precious autumn shot of my two well behaved Tibetan Mastiffs, Lolha (left) and Legend (right).
They wouldnt have sat so beautifully, or so still, if they were puppies!!!! (I was a bit stunned that they sat so beautifully for me, but they did, and they didnt 'ask' me to hurry up either.... LOL!!
Lofoten panorama made up from 3 images stitched in LightRoom CC. Lofoten village of Reine has been voted one of the top ten locations in the world for being the prettiest village to photograph and I would not disagree with that.
Photo taken while on a Tom Mackie workshop based in Lofoten.{ Tom is not doing anymore workshops in this location due to popularity making it hard to get images without loads of other Togs at the same spot !! }
Andy Sands of Chiswick Camera Shop was judging the Landscape Trophy competition for 2019 at Chalfont & Gerrards Cross Camera Club 28/3/2019 and I am very pleased to have won the trophy this year for best landscape image with this shot.

American Avocets are a rarity in southern Ontario, and in this case I was lucky to get to see and photograph two on a beach in Burlington during their migration -- there one day and gone the next. These are a 'lifer' bird for me :o)

I haven't been out kayaking since the tenth due to the crappy weather, I'm dying to get back out there on the water.
Assateague wild horses grazing in the salt marsh on a foggy May day. Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland.
Not posed - have to catch what I can with these two. They took a brief break from vigorous stick swapping.
Male and female Wood duck with their family at the local lake system near my home. We have three different families at the moment, all at different stages. I have been watching them for awhile. Every time I come down to photography them now, I am attacked by the same little Magpie Lark. It even crossed the road to get to me yesterday! I'm not sure she likes the big lens but that's what stops her attacking my head!
Two bookends. The Broadway Bridge that carries passenger automobiles on the right and to the left is BNSF Railway Hannibal Bridge. Both of these lead to the downtown area of Kansas City, Missouri.
