****This frame was chosen on September 26th 2014 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #196. This is my Fifty Sixth photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to everyone who visited, favourite and commented on the frame*****

Photograph taken at an altitude of Nine metres, in the magic of the Golden hour around sunrise at 05:41am, (sunrise was at precisely 06.15am) on Saturday 6th September 2014 off the Patricia Bay Highway 17, on Lochside Drive close to Frost Avenue and the Lochside Waterfront Park, in beautiful Sidney by the sea on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Here, I am standing beside the wooden decked viewing platform, looking over towards Mt Baker in Washington State, USA from beautiful Sidney by the sea on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Also known as Koma Kulshan, she is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington State in the United States, standing 3,286 metres tall and was first ascended in 1868, her last eruption recorded in 1880.
These Canada Geese, along with many other small groups, fly across the lake from East to West every morning and back again every evening at Sunset, and I love to watch the classic Vee formations and listen to the honking as they pass me by.

Whoo hoo! Explored on Nov. 5 #252 :) Thanks again my friends!!!!
As I was leaving for work, I looked out my window and saw the sun setting. Here's the view from my window. Unfortunately, the windows are REALLY dirty since we are currently adding an additional 24 floors to the building (BCBS) so you can kind of see the dirty film on this pic if you look close enough.
...and I got it!
This photo was actually supposed to show my interest in the camera and how focused I am on finding out everything about it. But I think I failed, I look kind of bored. Well, now you know the story behind it, so imagine I looked interested ;-)

This was shot during the peak of hurricane Irene - we had no power, but the hummers kept us amused the whole time! Our feeders are sheltered with an overhang, and the rain didn't seem to slow the birds a bit!
