Rolling by Windy Point west of Devona, Alberta, is a westbound Canadian National grain train on the afternoon of August 5, 2016. The train is operating through scenic Jasper National Park on the railroad’s Edson Subdivision.
A solitary American White Pelican glides effortlessly above the glassy surface, its striking black-tipped wings and bright orange bill reflected in the soft, pastel ripples of the quiet morning water.
I photographed this bird three years ago in the summertime.
Here are three FUN FACTS about these amazing birds:
1. Unlike Brown Pelicans that dive from the air, American White Pelicans fish from the surface by swimming in groups to herd prey into shallow water.
2. American White Pelicans are among the heaviest flying birds in North America (14 to 20 lbs.) with a massive wingspan that can reach up to nine feet across.
3. During the breeding season, these birds grow a unique "horn" on the top of their large bills which they eventually shed once the eggs have been laid.

An adult female polar bear catching some nice rim light late in the day in some light snow near the shore of Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba. She was aware of our presence and gave a quick glance in our direction as she sauntered by, seemingly unconcerned.

The canyon is a Siren's song, luring one deeper and deeper into her sensuous curves, with temptations of something even more spectacular just ahead. The colors the camera can pick up are incredible and very little editing is needed. Mother Nature does all the heavy lifting here. Her generosity is humbling.
While in St Ives during a heavy shower I decided to head for the elevated vantage point of the main bus station to catch the colours and light that usually follow this type of event. By the time I arrived, most of the drama was out in the bay and so I used the lighthouse and harbour wall as a left-of-centre focal point rather than capture the classic panoramic view over the headland and town. Thanks for viewing.

I caught this moment just as the two Spitfires swept past Goodwood, their wings carving clean lines through the sky. In post production I noticed that both pilots appear to be looking toward my position, which adds an interesting detail to the image. The photograph shows both aircraft flying in close formation with their markings and camouflage clearly visible against the open sky.
The upper Spitfire carries the code 21-T on the fuselage. The lower Spitfire shows the code B-ZD.
