Canadian goose stretching out at sunrise at Muscatatuck NWR, Indiana.
Reminds me of an antique car hood ornament!
Just love watching up close the Canada Geese found in pairs all over the zoo areas. Can't wait for when they find their nests and start laying eggs and raising their gosling families!
And this is the same elk of the previous photo, after I zoomed in.
Some explanation: this animal is called 'an elk' or 'a wapiti' in Canada, and it is a kind of deer (Cervus canadensis). The animal that is called 'an elk' in British English is taller and has a different type of antlers. That animal is called 'a moose' in Canadian English.
The elk in my photo is a bull as can easily be seen from its massive antlers!
What a sight, a Canada Creche of 8 adults and 26 young goslings of varying ages. A lunchtime photographing these scenes meant being late back for work but well worth it!!!!!!
An unnamed glacial stream flows briskly under a bridge toward the Kootenay River, Kootenay National Park, BC.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Taken on a 28 hour fly in visit to Montreal. Found this in the city center whilst finishing lunch - short break. icy cold, my hands were stiff numb. The dampness in the air made it more difficult. Well got a shot or two .
This is DRI. Used two sets of exposures . 2 composites generated from 5 exposures each. Auto blending modes for each composite. Layered back (blending mode) a darker expsoure for the contrast . layer masked the 2 composites ;-)
After 2 in-flight misses on the small goldeneyes, I opted to photograph one of these canadian jumbo jets in-flight. Whew, finally something that I can catch up to.
Had an awesome time with two beautiful Canadian tiger swallowtail's today. One followed me for 4 hours around the lake and then finally let me photograph him/her at the end before we said our goodbyes.
Taken at Victoria Park, around the Reservoir Trail, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Every Labour Day weekend a group of us explore one of Canada's treasures: Algonquin Park just north of Toronto, Ontario. It is a time of canoeing, portaging and camping with a group of great friends in this wilderness jewel.
Wikipedia: The Canada warbler (Cardellina canadensis) is a small boreal songbird of the New World warbler family (Parulidae). It summers in Canada and northeastern United States and winters in northern South America.
During the breeding season 82% of the population can be found in Canada and 18% in the United States. In Canada, the summer range extends from southeastern Yukon to Nova Scotia. In the United States, the range extends from northern Minnesota to northern Pennsylvania, east to Long Island, New York. It also nests in the high Appalachians as far south as Georgia. In winter, the Canada warbler's range extends from Guyana to northwestern Bolivia around the northern and western side of the Andean crest.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Had the pleasure to photograph two Canada geese up close this morning, they did not mind us at all as we approached them carefully. They even came closer before going down to the river.

Happy Canada Day!
The night sky was burst with colour on "Canada Eve" when Harbourfront Centre presented the spectacular fireworks show.
After bathing and preening, this female Canada Warbler did some foraging to fuel its autumn migration south. I felt privileged to enjoy such a close view in a quiet corner of Confederation Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Canada Geese live in a great many habitats near water, grassy fields, and grain fields. Canada Geese are particularly drawn to lawns for two reasons: they can digest grass, and when they are feeding with their young, manicured lawns give them a wide, unobstructed view of any approaching predators. So they are especially abundant in parks, airports, golf courses, and other areas with expansive lawns
