Golden drops

Photographers consider a number of things in getting the images they capture for example sunrise and sunset provide the most incredible light AND always have your camera ready!
We’ve had an unusual number of rainy days this summer; cloudy, grey and wet from sun up to sundown. This day in particular just as the sun was to drop over the horizon, the sky broke. It was only a few minutes of golden glow.

Nature’s Fireworks

It seems we’re sticking with the feeding theme…
Bees prefer the blossom stage to the berry on this bristly sarsaparilla.

Fish for dinner

Although we caught and enjoyed fish for dinner the other night, I thought you’d be much rather see these photos my friend, Amanda caught of the Heron in the creek working for and enjoying his.

Check out her complete Heron slide show on flickr to see him dine.

The other day we snuck up on a loon snoozing on our beach. He was just a little clumsy getting into the water!
We thought he might have been wounded by the look of the feathers on his head.

I think if anything, it was his pride that was wounded; he paddled off and we haven’t seen him since!

Lone Loon

A number of years ago, we had a pair of loons that would visit our bay in the summer. Unfortunately, one died. The widow (or widower) still comes to visit every now and then.
