today my dad died, and I no longer have my biggest fan
This is going to be a little deep.
I got into photography because of my dad, we would go on trips and he would pull out the 35mm(s)! I loved the photos!
Back in high school I always used those cameras downtown Chicago.. buildings, light trails, windows, doors, etc
For some reason I stopped....it was always in the back of my mind
Years later Photography came up because of something my Oncologist said to me: I needed a hobby
I had been sending my dad cell phone photos of storms and sunsets in Arizona. It all clicked I should buy a DSLR and the rest is history....39 national parks later 350,000K photos
30,000,000 views
I have my hobby thanks DAD.
RIP ....
Rod Stewart said it best:
"We got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands"
This dad is taking care of his two grackle babies. They're big enough and old enough to feed themselves and often do but as long as dad is willing to cater to them they will take advantage of it.
The male of the Tree Swallow couple that nested in our yard this summer. This was when he still had time to sit because after 6 babies hatched, he was too busy. Of the 6 babies, 5 fledged and 1 died in the box. I suspect it was the smallest one and did not get enough food. There was always a "bully" monopolizing the hole and not letting the others through so he was fed the most. Taken in our back yard in Calgary, Alberta.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

He wasn't happy with my being in the garden hoping to catch the cubs playing and barked at me until I went inside. This was taken from inside my house and I still felt guilty..
The adult male Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) feeding the fledgling or juvenile male flicker, next photo.
Fairly well hidden except for that eye, but an unappealing bit of lighter sky, left corner. Photoshop and I are not friendly, yet. I have not grasped masking, nor do I like Lightroom. Sigh...
My month away brought me back here after 11 years, thrilled to reunite with Dad! He's in the background and that is one of his two horses.
Mural by French artist Zabou in the centre of Coventry. She calls this piece “Dad” and I love how the child is looking directly across the street. Looks like I’ve been clocked, but nothing unusual in that!
Challenge: Inspired by a Photographer. My dad has always been and is still a photographer. In this photo are images of one of his favorite subjects and the camera given to him by his parents. Dad...always an inspiration!
Dear Dad, you are always in our thoughts & in our hearts. You are forever missed & loved, because you were the very best..
