I keep forgetting to post stuff at the moment! Will try and catch up on a few in the next while. Here's one from a fabulous misty morning in Tuscany back in May, the first of two successive stunning mornings we got.
Sometimes I have to dig into the archives for stuff to post - life has just been very hectic of late.
This shot may seem familiar. It was part of the article I wrote about Through the Viewfinder photography for JPG Magazine in their Embrace the Blur issue.
New neighbors sifting through stuff they decided they didn't want, placed side by side in front of the house out on the street. The chairs were gone in a couple of hours.
I didn't even notice these guys up in the tree over my head until my friend, Jim pointed them out. They seemed to be enjoying the sunshine.
Reed Canal Park is very large. On one side, there is a lake, with a bridge that goes over it on the south side, and on the other side of the park is a woodsy area that has a playground, walking trails, and loads of trees. That is the squirrels' domain, and they wait patiently for people to bring them treats like peanuts! They are pretty fearless, coming right up to you for handouts, but quickly running away if you don't have any. This tree is right on the border between the woods and the open lake area, and is a very pretty spot in the afternoon when the sun is setting, although the light can be a real challenge because it's pretty blazing.
Little Canadian goslings. They're not very water proof yet. The down takes a lot of cleaning after being in the water.
A treasured gift from my sweetheart. Like the two of us, they are close even when they're far apart. I miss you...
The one on the right is a Boreal Chickadee that I have seen it for the first time (Life Bird# 451). The one on the left is a friendly Black-capped Chickadee that is abundant in our area. Because of large color variation the Boreal Chickadee was very easy to pick up from a large group of Black-capped Chickadee that it was hanging out with. Note how the white patch on its cheek is so much smaller than the Black-capped. Darlington Provincial Park, Durham, Ontario
Oregon Dunes and
Siuslaw National Forest
Oregon, USA
"There are several Oregon landscapes that look alien, so different from our typical experience, or else so similar to those depicted on other planets in the movies.
As it happens, science fiction writer Frank Herbert first imagined the alien worlds of his classic novel, "Dune", while on a tour of the Oregon Dunes, marveling at how the ever-shifting sands could "swallow whole cities, lakes, rivers, highways."

Found these two sitting in the Great Falls yard this evening. I've shot and posted pics of 12066 before, but this was the first time I've seen the other one.
This shot gets me to thinking, what does one call multiple cars of this sort? Caboosi? Cabeese?

I've been taking a wee bit of down time away from laptop as I do need that wee break when spending so many hours everyday, 7 days a week (I get internet burn out...lol). Anyway I took some pictures in my garden and got some macro pictures of these two Bees? (or are they flies?). I assume they are making out but not sure, I could have got as close as I wanted as they weren't moving, too engrossed in what they were doing. I actually didn't take too many pictures as I thought they were dead when they didn't move no matter how close I got but they did fly away when I checked back a short time later. Glad they did as I don't think I could have looked at pictures of them if they were dead.
