Shot back in 2011 in West Kelowna. This is a bit of a hike through the woods carrying my tripod and camera gear, as well as BEAR SPRAY.
They aren't visible in the frame but the only friends this fellow had for company were a group of Mallards. Although not the life of the party he seemed to be fitting in OK.
We were driving through West Kelowna,B.C. when we passed these sheep grazing alongside this narrow road. They were still there when we retunred ninety minutes later with many more sheltering under the trees.

A view of West Kelowna taken from Gyro Beach here in Kelowna BC Canada. Nikon D300 Nikkor 10-24mm lens 5 exposures
This was an expensive shot. I was sitting on a rock by the edge of a swirling pond taking shots of the falls - camera perched on a tripod directly in front of me between my legs. I was there about 20 minutes and decided to call it quits and very carefully stood up so i would not knock my camera over into the pond - so i backed away and half way to standing position i heard something fall to the ground and bounce into the waters. I had forgotten my cell phone was sitting on my knee.
Lying face down in the mud my arm totally emersed in the freezing water I extend as far as I can in 3 foot radius digging in the muddy bottom without success. Meanwhile JoAnne, who had been sleeping in the car appears in a panic above me thinking I had fallen in. I reassured I had just lost my $1200 phone in the water. No visibility in the muddy water I changed position and tried another area. I then tried dragging my tripod legs along the bottom 5 feet out hoping to drag it towards me. No luck. Finally i decided to give it up and picked up my camera to leave. JoAnne who came down to assist leans over the water 8 feet to my left and spots it, still lit up, no worse for wear I fish it out of 1 foot of water. Saved again by my wife. In gratitude I take her to a wine shop and tell her, pick one - price no object - your choice. She passes the $240 bottle and picks out a $10 bottle on sale. What can I say, she's a keeper.

This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you've got sharp eyes you'll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings.

This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes, you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit.

Lots of people at Mission Hills Winery, Kelowna BC when this attractive young woman provided me with one of the best opportunities for a people shot.

Photo was taken just of Bear Lake Main Road here in West Kelowna. We are experiencing another year of possible flooding due to a high snow pack and sudden summer temperatures.
