I took this in August in North Vancouver at the Lonsdale Quay at the waterfront boardwalk in a common area, where people can skate or ride or just sit and watch.
It is an in camera multiple exposure - I believe five images. It's fun to zoom in close and see what you can find :)
HSS!
It was still off season and the beach was quiet, though the closed shops gathered on the pier seem to be waiting for the next beach party, as they have since the first pier was built here in 1898.

The Giant Wheel in Ocean City, now third largest in New Jersey (Wildwood being second and the new one in Atlantic City first). They say you can see for miles around from the top, tho you couldn't prove it by me. It's been a very long time since I've been at the top of a ferris wheel!

I spent many days in my youth at this seaside resort and I always wanted to capture the Pier at sunset. Here it is
I hit a number of places to bird today including White Rock and I spotted these two at a distance from The Pier. I have only seen them a couple times they are not that common of a duck.
This winter the male Buffleheads have been a little harder to photograph. Not this guy. He was a distance from me while I walked The Pier at White Rock. But he kept coming closer and I kept shooting. Eventually he came incredibly close and then proceeded to preen and display ever so nicely for me. I did not even have a treat for him!
Such a beautiful day, even though the deck of The Pier was icy when I walked out and I and others had to walk very carefully least we fall, which I have done enough of this winter.
This Double-crested Cormorant caught this sea critter and threw it up several times to catch it again and again and eventually did eat it and several more.
There was a flock of at least a dozen White-winged Scoters hunting around and under The Pier in White Rock.
I spotted this solo Common Loon at the Pier in White Rock. I was quite surprised just how large it was compared to the abundant Scoters around.
This is not a bird I see often and this one was determined I would not see it's neck stretched out and it's head untucked. Most of the photos I got were "artistic" One of the few where even the eye was visible, but still a neat shot.
These birds are quite pretty in their winter plumage but the males will be very striking come spring!

Another shot from Chilkoot Lake, near Haines, Alaska.
"L’uknax Adi clan of Tlingit Indians, whose principal symbol is red salmon or sockeye, traditionally owned Chilkoot Lake and Chilkoot river, also called by the English names after their crest animal as Sockeye Clan, Coho Clan and Salmon Clan. Tlingit clans 'historically owned areas of economic production that were most often also places of importance in the Spiritual geography of the region'.
The history of the lake is directly linked to the Chilkoot village, where the Tlingits lived, after which the lake has been named. This village existed near the outlet of the Chilkoot Lake and was divided into two parts by the river; the western part was inhabited by Raven clan Tlingits while the Eagle Clan Tlingits lived on the eastern part. It was an important location for the southeast Alaskan Tlingits who reportedly settled here during pre-historic days when they subsisted on salmon and hooligan fishing; they used Hooligan fish to make fish oil, their cooking medium, by cooking the fishes in a canoe lined with hot rocks."
This is Swanage Pier, Dorset, I did a couple of variations of the colour wheel. It looked effective at the time.

So here i drive 300+ miles to St Petersburg this weekend to catch some puffy clouds. but puffy clouds ticked me....darn.... St. Petersburg is Florida's one of the most beautiful cities and highly recommend to visit. Such a peaceful and beautiful city that you will want to llive there :-)
I made a trip to the ocean this morning. Unfortunately it was foggy for most of the time I was there. I did see a variety of waterfowl including 8 or 9 Western Grebe.
This is just an artist's impression but what if there were two Piers at Dorset? This thought provoking idea emerged at 22.59 05/01/2015 and promptly receded at 23.00 05/01/2015 along with the two tides.
Just off the Pier in White Rock was this Common Loon. I wonder if it was the same one I saw a couple months ago, it was in winter plumage then. It is much more striking now.
This morning I went out of my comfort zone and went to the Pier at White Rock. Way more people than I am accustomed to being around, but I managed for about 90 minutes before I had to leave. It was neat to see 4 Black Turnstones who were hunting around the rocks on the breakwater.
This morning along with my camera gear I took my spotting scope and I was able to see huge quantities of Scoters around Semiahmoo Bay Most seemed to be White-winged Scoters with the rest Surf Scoters. I did not see any Black ones.
This is a duck I have not seen very often. The one time I remember was one that was in a state of eclipse at the end of the summer. Still a pretty duck, but this one is much more striking.
