Just at sunset a swan glided over to where I was taking photographs, paused for a minute and then quietly disappeared into the darkness on the right. LaSalle Park marina, Burlington, Ontario.

It was lovely to get a rare night out in my old haunt. I really enjoyed distant views of barn and long eared owls, sadly on this occasion no pics.

The curlew is a bird which is highly skilled in avoiding yours truly.

So it was a nice surprise to get a very close encounter.

Numbers of this stunning bird are sadly on the decline, so it was nice to see them doing well locally.

She was hunting right in front of me so I stepped back approximately 50ft and continued to watch her move from limb to limb.

Walking on hills during dusk, the sunlight is thrown onto us almost horizontally.

Spring sunsets.

I hear the crystal raindrops fall

On the window down the hall

And it becomes the morning dew,

And darling when the morning comes

And I see the morning sun

I wanna be the one with you.

Once again a stormy evening sky got really dramatic, this time as I was walking down to the point (northern tip) on the central Bamberg island in Erba Park where the canal and the river come together. I had my Lumix mFT camera along, and it did a good job of catching the drama. It was a little after 6 p.m., about 20 minutes before sunset. In post-processing I took a white balance reading in the clouds since auto WB in Lightroom and the camera both failed to get anywhere close. So the photo recaptures pretty much what I saw with my own eyes last evening. [P1020701_lr_2000]

A brief visit to Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire this evening. The light and calmness were great. Without a wide lens to hand, I had to use my phone to get an image.
