I was coming home from the post office, and caught a flash of yellow zooming into the forest next to our garage. I got out, watched and waited. . . and success!
Max 40X optical zoom on my wee Canon SX730HS and tight cropping.
BTW, thanks to my Facebook friends who come to my rescue when I’m not sure what kind of bird I’ve “shot.”
We took a two-night camping trip to Nairn Falls Provincial Park near Pemberton, BC.
One day we drove to Duffey Lake, stopping to check out Cayoosh Creek.
A wee bit chilly : – ).
Mourning Cloak butterfly. It wouldn’t sit still for more than a second or two, so this is the best shot I got.
Nairn Falls near Pemberton, BC.
No post-processing aside from minor cropping and sharpening. All colour/motion changes are simply through varying exposure and combinations of shutter speed/aperture.
A few shots of wildlife encountered on the trail.
I’m told this is a young Ruffed Grouse
Hairy Woodpecker according to app
We saw damselflies courting at Rice Like in North Vancouver today. Boreal Bluets?
I think Cherry-Faced Meadowhawk?
We spotted a few of these today, and when I posted them to Facebook (my favourite animal ID app : – ), was told they are Red-Legged Frogs. They were barely the size of my thumbnail.
There were a lot of people on Burnaby Mountain tonight. Long weekend? Hoping to see the Northern Lights? That didn’t pan out, but it was a lovely sunset.
This is a series of shots taken of downtown Vancouver from the mountain, with deliberate variations in focus. . .
