A male Hooded Merganser showing off for the female with a dramatic headthrow in hopes of impressing her. These ducks are a lot of fun to observe and photograph.
It's been a while since I posted something here. Lost a bit of interest in Flickr give the fact that they might get rid of him so it's a bit weird. Today I managed to get few shots here in Waterloo where these guys keep showing off their skills. This one is a good take with my F1.4. It took a while to get it perfect but in the end I got it. I hope you like it. I need to catch up with some pictures from few months ago so hopefully you'll see you more soon.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

I witnessed several bald eagles in Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge this particular morning, but none close enough to get a good photo of, until this gorgeous specimen. What was funny to me is how he briefly extended his leg over the eucalyptus branch like he was trying to hitch a ride ;)
While those marching in Vancouver's Pride Parade are always interesting, the people WATCHING the parade are pretty captivating too...

This guy is my favourite muscled man on the Net - he is so amazingly good-looking, it almost hurts ;-)
With only 3 cars, M391 would have been fairly unexciting if not for its leader. What have been somewhat immune to leading, an ex-Santa Fe SD75M now owned by PRLX runs north past the soon to be extinct searchlight at CP Gaines.

History - England - Warwick Castle showing Watergate Tower & The Mound.
Warwick Castle, an original built by William the Conqueror in 1068. Warwick is the county town of Warwickshire, England, situated on a bend of the River Avon. The original wooden motte-and-bailey castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most recognisable examples of 14th century military architecture. It was used as a stronghold until the early 17th century, when it was granted to Sir Fulke Greville by James I in 1604. Greville converted it to a country house and it was owned by the Greville family, who became earls of Warwick in 1759, until 1978.
The ghost of Sir Fluke Greville is said to haunt the Watergate Tower.
Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke, de jure 13th Baron Latimer and 5th Baron Willoughby de Broke KB PC; 3 October 1554 – 30 September 1628), known before 1621 as Sir Fulke Greville, was an Elizabethan poet, dramatist, and statesman who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1581 and 1621, when he was raised to the peerage.
Greville was a capable administrator who served the English Crown under Elizabeth I and James I as, successively, treasurer of the navy, chancellor of the exchequer, and commissioner of the Treasury, and who for his services was in 1621 made Baron Brooke, peer of the realm. Greville was granted Warwick Castle in 1604.
In 1628 Greville was stabbed inside Warwick Castle by Ralph Heywood, a servant who believed that he had been cheated in his master's will. Heywood then turned the knife on himself. Greville's physicians treated his wounds by filling them with pig fat rather than disinfecting them, the pig fat turned rancid and infected the wounds, and he died in agony four weeks after the attack.

I really can't believe I ticked off a caterpillar!
I taught him a new trick - especially for taking pictures - "down", which means putting the head on the ground and the eyes on me. Of course this deserves a yummie prize...
