Finding Calm in The Moonrise

After a busy day, the city gradually drifted to sleep. As the lights dimmed toward midnight, a 70% waning gibbous moon quietly rose above the skyline, revealing its magical glow in the night sky.

Red Hucklkeberry

People, bears,birds and small mammals use the berries and dear and elk will forage the foliage. A very useful wild plant found in western North America. Can make a nice photo too.

Patience

At the far end of my property runs a trail. A cotton tail was often near the bend but was gone in a flash as soon as I was in sight. I decided to see if I could manage to get this little creature to accept my presence. I started this little experiment around May. Each day as soon as I caught a glimpse of the bunny I would turn around and leave it in peace. After a week I would stop to take a couple pictures from the far end of the trail. I was able after a few months to get close enough to take these shots one day. For me it was such a victory, I saw the bunny a few times after this but never was I able to capture images. The bunny does not appear to be in the area any more.

Courting

There was much movement within the herd when the caribou cows came into heat. The bull gave them lots of attention.

Dreamy Visit

I have a bluebird trail and a nesting pair but rarely do they come into the yard. A few weeks ago I noticed about 4 bluebirds in the yard checking out the martin gourds and owl boxes. I got my camera ready and a few days later I managed a picture through the kitchen window. This group have decided to stay the winter I heard them out on the trails a couple days ago. I dream of pictures of them in the snow.

Natures Bounty

People, bears,birds and small mammals use the berries and dear and elk will forage the foliage. A very important wild plant found in western North America. Can make a nice photo too.

Thimbleberry

An example of what nature provides the denizens of the woods. Not bad for us either.

Ready to Eat

Red Huckleberries, ready to harvest, maybe not to every ones taste as they can be a bit tart. However, for birds, bears and others they are an important food source and are a plentiful wild plant in the northwest.

Canoe on a misty lake.

The Lone Canoeist. Algonquin Park has magical sunrises. I witnessed one this morning where nature provided fog, and perfect light. This Lone Canoeist was at the perfect spot to make this composition special.

Cliffside Curiosity

A curious Atlantic Puffin peeks out from the safety of its hiding place on the cliff.
