Fanshawe Lake Birds

 From some of the largest to the smallest bird we see at our cottage.









Juvenile Black Crowned Night Heron

 Out for a canoe paddle, I found this heron.  I had to look up what it was, when I returned to land.  This photo was taken on my Samsung Galaxy S24 (basic) mounted on a selfie stick.  Processed in Lightroom.  The closest I got to the bird was about 10 metres.  The unusual green tinge, on its legs and under its eye, is from Fanshawe Lake's heavy algae bloom this year.



2025 Purple Hill Rodeo

 Another dry and dusty Saturday in August 2025.

Home County

 For those who know me, you know I'm a Home County loyalist.  Although cancelled in 2024, it came back for a one day festival this past July.  In a summer of almost no rain, Home County survived, what might have been, the rainiest day of July.












Toronto Architecture

 In June, I went to Toronto and shot some of its fine architecture.









Delaware Speedway

 A cloudy, drizzly evening in May.  Had another chance to shoot at the raceway.  Always a fun event.

Rondeau Provincial Park

 This was my second bird migration trip in 2025.  On this day, we started in fog.  The leaves were almost fully out and as a result the insects were out too.  This led many birds to the tree tops for feeding.  We had to make due with the birds that were more at our level.  I think we did OK.











Point Pelee

 A long awaited return to Point Pelee National Park for the spring bird migration.
