Crescent sleepy moon

Crescent moon slipping behind the New Brunswick’s Legislative Assembly Building in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Early Bird

An Eastern Wood-Pewee sits on a tiny branch poking out of the water in the harsh early morning light one September morning in Murphys Point Provincial Park. The "tyrant" flycatcher was there for breakfast, but was taking a rest in between swoops and perhaps digest what he had already caught. On this perfect morning of sunshine and light wind, the water was swampy but patches were cleared of vegetation to reveal nearly perfect chances of reflection.

Disguise

Driving along a dirt road, on my way home and I came across two snakes on the road. I pulled over, took my macro out (thankfully I had packed it with me!) and started taking photos of this beauty. It was tasting the air as I settled on the ground to get level with it. I kept trying to capture the tongue out on camera, and it was a success. I loved how it looked like it had a moustache with how it curled its tongue and stretched the fork of it out. I just love snakes so much! After I was done photographing it, I guided it off the road, in hopes it wouldn't get run over by someone, it was a quiet road, but hunting season is here, so it might be a bit busier. Clinton BC

Full Harvest Moon Rising

I was walking in town with my in-laws and then we were going to head to my place to finish some farm chores. My niece jumped in with me and as soon as I started to turn my jeep around, I saw the full moon was rising! I took a few shots from in town, and when we were headed to my place, it was tucked in behind the mountain again, so we got to see it rise a second time. I pulled over and didn't like the fence being in front, so we waited a little longer, drove down the road a bit more and watched it rise from behind the trees. When I went to go through my photos on my computer, I actually really liked the one with the fence in the foreground and wished I took some more, but I was really happy this one turned out.

Bug!

One of my favourite things about Mountain Bluebirds, is how they simply just "launch" themselves off their perches acting like a little missile to get to their prey. I could honestly watch these birds all the time and never get tired of them. This younger male also had some interesting markings on him as his blue feathers are coming in. Almost like he's got some really long and prominent eyebrows. Clinton BC

One thing I didn't expect to see while out for a drive, was Mountain Bluebirds. I just love these birds so much and to still have them around this time is year, is so amazing. I know they won't be here for much longer, they will continue on with their migration. So I will hopefully be able to find them once again before they are gone for the winter. Clinton BC

Through the Leaves

I decided to drive out to the lake this morning, we were socked in with fog, so I wanted to see if the loons were still there and photograph them with the fog. On the way to the lake, the fog was lifting and when I got there, there was no fog. The loons were there though, so I was happy! I was trying to photograph them through the opening of the leaves and pressed my shutter at the wrong time, but I actually really liked this one, the way the leaves turned into a bokeh affect and you can still see the juvenile loon.
