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!!

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)
Assateague wild horses grazing in the salt marsh on a foggy May day. Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland.
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!
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.
For a comp in the Melbourne LUG this weekend. I was scratching for some ideas and realised Prometheus was opening a few days earlier so this seemed like a cool way to celebrate. The first concept involved halving one side as the Space Jockey but it didn't work out so I settled for two aliens instead. Also sorry for the bad pic; shooting utdoors in winter sucks.
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.

I spotted this odd arrangement of hedge and trees cycling down a lane I'd never been down before and thought it would work well against a sunset. Indeed it did, and the fact that I could move to the right and left meant I could align everything up nicely. Shame the trees aren't similar in size but you can't have everything. I'm puzzled by its existence in the middle of a field. All I can think is the farmer wanted to make a bigger field but didn't want to fell the trees and left the hedge inbetween because he/she couldn't plough between? Northorpe, Lincolnshire.
