Focus of attention

My regular photo shoot companion, our 9 year old chocolate Lab, Lindor, is usually content to amuse himself while I examine the surroundings through the lense of my camera. Every now and then, tho’, he makes note of the direction I’ve aimed the camera and casually moves across my view! This day, I was looking to capture the pussy willow look of snow on the tag alders and willows when there he was! Silly dog.

Evergreen and white

Capped posts

Well, around these parts, we wear toques but “toqued” posts sounds a bit strange. Although March came in like a lamb yesterday, it still is toque weather.

Breathtaking

These images were taken the same misty morning I captured the March desktop calendar picture. I had folded up my tripod, packed away the camera and turned to head home when I spotted this delicate feather hanging by a hair in the birch branch. I held my breath as the slight movement of air was threatening to dislodge it before I could set up for some shots. The cloud cover broke just enough to grace the pure white crystals with a gentle glow.
