Awhile back we spent the morning trying to photograph a large group of swallows feeding on a pond. They were buzzing back and forth and getting good shots was quite a chore. Although nothing in this photo is in perfect focus it really represents the feel of being in that large group of feeding swallows trying to get a photo.
Although they are the most numerous of the ducks I encounter I am always enamored by the Mallards. Wearing his finest breeding colors this guy was putting on quite a display.
It’s been very windy here in Colorado the last few days so a nice tranquil sunset feels like a needed contrast. Setting sun over calm water captured with Holga Pinhole camera a few years back.
Slowly into the sea or so it seems. West coast of Vancouver Island on a foggy morning.
Not the drink and the photo does have a little white….. but what the heck. The earth demonstrating once again it is alive and in the dead of winter makes a beautiful sight. Photographed in Yellowstone National Park.
After three very cold days there is very little open water around for the ducks. However, this group of hooded mergansers found a patch and seem to be enjoying the late afternoon sun on a very cold day.
This wasn’t the biggest iceberg in the pond but boy oh boy the evening light sure made it special. Photographed while kayaking in Sermilik Fjord, East Greenland, August 2013.
Well I have made it one full year into this journey. It has been and will continue to be a vehicle that may wiggle from side-to-side a bit but keeps on track nonetheless. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has viewed, commented and provided encouragement over the last year as without you blogging would not be the fun and enriching experience it has turned out to be. Thanks!
And a few more from the vault:
I walked out onto the front porch to an awesome sunrise the other day and grabbed the camera. The only problem is lacking a tripod I knew I couldn’t hold the camera steady enough to get a clear photo so I did what is commonly done and introduced some motion to the photo. Cliche, maybe, but fun nonetheless and life should be fun.
Winter Cottonwoods in all life stages are a wonderful to look at. Pinhole photograph taken at a local park on a snowless winter day.
