Photograph taken at an altitude of three metres at 12.12pm on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Four hundred and thirty four metres at 11:44am on Wednesday 10th May at 5932 Old Vernon Road at Kangaroo Creek Farm in Kelowna V1X 7V2, British Columbia.
The Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the second-tallest living bird after its ratite relative the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia, where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. Emus are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs, and can reach up to 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in) in height. Emus can travel great distances, and when necessary can sprint at 48 km/h (30 mph).

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty two metres at 10:45am on Monday 8th May off the Sea to sky highway 99 and Shannon falls Road, at Shannon falls in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.
Known as Kwékwetxwm, Shannon Falls holds particular significance for the Squamish First Nations people, the area’s first inhabitants. One legend tells that Say-noth-ka, a two-headed sea serpent, created the falls by repeatedly slithering up and down the mountainside. Shannon falls are British Columbia's third tallest waterfalls, dropping an impressive 335 metres(1,105 feet), with wonderful rock climbs to it's South face at 'Local boys do good', 'The gobsmacking wall', and 'Klahanie Crack'.

Photograph taken at 13:22pm on Monday 20th May 2025 at an altitude of Sixty metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex.
This is a Marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus), a species of frog which are native to continental Europe and Western Asia. They are not a native species in the UK but were introduced in Kent in the 1930's.
During mating season, male marsh frogs use two prominent grey air sacs located on either side of their head to produce their distinctive call. These vocal sacs inflate, amplifying the loud, quacking croaks that attract female frogs. This behaviour is especially common during spring and summer breeding periods.
The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eighty four metres at 11.48am on Wednesday 7th June 2023 off the Capilano Pacific Trail, beneath the Capilano Suspension bridge in West Vancouver, British Columbia.
Kia’palano (Beautiful river) was named by the Squamish first nations people, and gives Capilano park it's name. The suspension bridge was originally a cedar wood and rope bridge designed by George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and park commissioner for Vancouver, in 1889. The park was sold and purchased and the bridge completely rebuilt in 1956 and later sold again in 1983 to the present owner, Nancy Stibbard.
A treetops adventure was built in 2004 and a cliffwalk added in 2011. The bridge is 140 metres in length and seventy metres from the river bed and receives more than 1.2 million visitors annually.
In June 2023 an adult day ticket was not cheap at $67.00 dollars Canadian, but the park makes for a great days enjoyment with food and drinks available.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and twelve metres at 12:28pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 off Keating cross and Benvenuto Avenue at the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia.
This is Mango, who is forty five years old now, a beautiful bird that I have visited for over 27 years on my trips here (Since it was located at the Crystal Gardens in Victoria back in the day). The American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is the only flamingo which naturally inhabits North America, and is also known as the Caribbean flamingo. They can reach up to 83 years old in captivity!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 11.11am on Monday 29th May 2023 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Here we see a sleepy Rock dove (Columbia livia), resting on a tree stump. They were introduced to North America in the 17th century.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Four metres at 15:36pm on Sunday 4th June 2023 off Beach Drive at Kitty Islet in Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
Clutches of beautiful Eschscholzia californica, also known as the California poppy, Californian poppy, golden poppy and the rather grand sounding California sunlight, cup of gold, caught my eye and seduced my senses as I walked around. Originally native to the USA and Mexico, and the official State flower of California, these little beauties are also commonly found in British Columbia from Victoria, to Nanaimo and even as far as Port Alberni.

This is Sharp's MD-DS8/9 portable MD player. It is the world's first mass portable audio device with true balanced output. It is also the first with 1-bit audio codec used in DSD and SACD and other bitstream audio that's popular today.
Low noise floor, good measurements overall, but almost no stereo separation. Like, almost mono.
I've measured its output with RMAA here:

Here's a story you will love;)
After watching the Oscar's last night, I had to listen to "Southern Rain", because every time I see Miley Cyrus, I think of that song. I'm an audio engineer In Phx AZ, and I'm pretty sure I was the first person outside the Band and Producers to hear the song. About 11 years ago, someone walked in to my studio and asked me if I could stay late for a quick session, I said sure. Turns out it was with Billy Ray Cyrus. He was in town for a concert and he had just finished recording that song a few months prior, but the final mix had just completed. So he booked time with us because we had an ISDN codec (it lets you send CD quality, digital audio in real time down a phone line). I was setting up and waiting for the connection to the Nashville studio where one of his producers, Dann Huff was going to send us the final mix so I could record it to ProTools and burn a CD so Billy could hear it. While I was getting ready, Billy Ray went and layed down on the floor inside the vocal booth. They had just drove from the last tour date. Our connection was made and Dann said hello. I told Billy Ray to just put the headphones on and opened the mike that was in the room so they could talk and he wouldn't have to move (phone call with no phone;) Before they sent the audio to us, Dann asked him how the "little one" was. Billy Ray tells Dann "Oh man, that girl is gonna be the death of me...she wants to be a star in the worst way". At the time I never gave it another thought until she became the little star that she is:) And now, every time I see her, I just smile and think of that song.
p.s. At the time, all I knew of Billy Ray was "Achy Breaky Heart" so I wasn't real crazy about doing the session, but after talking with him for 10 minutes I found that he was one of the nicest, most genuine guys I've worked with.

Photograph taken at 13:20pm on Monday 20th May 2025 at an altitude of Forty six metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. This is a Marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus), a species of frog which are native to continental Europe and Western Asia. They are not a native species in the UK but were introduced in Kent in the 1930's.
The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty two metres at 07:46am on Tuesday 23rd May 2023 off Lochside Drive and Ferguson Road at Saanichton Bay Park in Central Saanich area of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related. It has roughly a two year lifespan.

I love taking stills with my new iPhone 6s but the video at 4K is pretty disappointing unless you lock off the shot and in bright conditions and only view it on the phone. Most of the time the artifacts in the video ruin it for me, all that 4K detail goes down the toilet with all the codec issues. I think a small point and shoot like the Sony RX100 IV would have worked much better on this family trip to Disney World.

Im Jahre 2002 galt die G3 als das Flaggschiff der Powershot Serie. In den vielen Tests die sie damals durchlief heimste sie nur Bestnoten ein. Führt man sich die zugrunde liegenden Daten vor Augen wird schnell klar, dass die Digitalfotografie damals noch in ihren Kinderschuhen steckte. Die G3 bot 4 Megapixel Auflösung, vierfachen optischen, und 3,6fachen digitalen Zoom. Besonderes Lob bekam sie seinerzeit auch für ihre leichte Bedienbarkeit. Dank verschiedener Kreativfunktionen lässt die PowerShot G3 kaum Wünsche offen: Vollautomatik, Programm-, Zeit- und Blendenautomatik, vollmanueller Modus, zwei Benutzerpresets, Motivprogramme, Weißabgleich, manueller Fokus, Serienbilder, Videoaufzeichnung mit Ton und so weiter, nahm die G3 damals eine Vorreiterrolle ein.
Etwas verwunderlich bei einer Kamera dieser Preisklasse ist der Sucher. Er ist zur Vermeidung von Parallaxefehlern nahe beim Objektiv platziert. Das hat zur Folge, dass das Objektiv in Weitwinkelstellung in einer Ecke des Suchers zu sehen ist. Ebenfalls etwas sonderbar ist der Objektivdeckel. Er wird nur locker aufgesteckt und löst sich häufig von selbst. Das hat den Vorteil, dass das Objektiv beim Einschalten der Kamera den Deckel einfach abwirft. Diese wenigen "Macken" trüben den positiven Eindruck dieser Kamera nicht wirklich.
Natürlich ist in der schnelllebigen Welt der Digitalkameras dieser Glanz lange verblasst. Die Powershot Serie ist an vielen Ecken weiterentwickelt worden. Sie bei mir noch längst nicht ausgedient.

It's sunday, it's summer and of course that means rain showers and rare sunlight in the UK! No matter, a sunflower always makes us happy, so here is one in our garden.....
Photograph taken at an altitude of Sixty two metres at 09:36am on Sunday 13th August 2023 off Hythe Avenue in Chessington Avenue, Bexleyheath, Kent.
The Common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant with a daisy-like flower face. Its scientific name comes from the Greek words helios (“sun”) and anthos (“flower”). The flowers come in many colors (yellow, red, orange, maroon, brown), but they are commonly bright yellow with brown centers that ripen into heavy heads filled with seeds. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers, and many attract bees, birds, and butterflies.

Photograph taken at 11:34am on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Fifty three metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.
Here we see a Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea), a small passerine bird found throughout the Palearctic and in Europe. First described in 1758, this is part of a family of similar looking Nuthatch species and is a small bird with short tail and wings and long pointed bill.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seven metres at 11.23am on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Over to our Starboard side (Right), three BC ferries go about their daily routes serving the Southern Gulf Islands, the Queen of Cumberland and sisters the Salish Eagle and Salish Raven.
A lovely sight.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seventy metres at 13:31pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 off Keating cross and Benvenuto Avenue at the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia.
This is a Ricepaper (Idea leuconoe) butterfly, also known as Paper Kites or Tree Nymphs and found in Malaysia, Taiwan and the Philippines. They are a common species found in lowland rainforests and coastal mangrove forests. These large, striking butterflies have translucent white wings patterned with black streaks and spots. Their patterns serve to warn predators that they are poisonous. Their flight is slow and graceful, and they may rest with wings open or closed.
