Winter Fun Fun And More Fun, Canon Lens Lots Of Fun

Creation of the snow was such a blessing for children. I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoy watching Matthew playing in the snow. This little busy bee enjoys himself to the fullest - making snowman, throwing snowballs, making snow angles, cleaning cars, and tobogganing. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Must Begin With A Single Step

The above title is a quote by Lao Tsu. I think it was appropriate to introduce my new Canon EOS 7D that way. The journey began about a month ago when with a bit of Internet research, and with one trip to a local store - I ended up with Canon EOS 7D in my hands. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Everything Has An End

Winter ends, spring ends, summer ends, fall ends, snow melts, rain evaporates. I can go on and on. They do end yet they come back. Cycle of life, we call it. ................ Here I am leaving you with one of the last photographs I took with my original 20D. We still have winter in effect, but hasn't been that cold, and as I will be missing out on the photo shooting for few weeks, I know that winter will be back next year.

Simple Winter

Once you go away from something for a long time, it is definitely hard to get back. I have not been photographing much, not writing much and definitely not blogging much. Few days ago I decided to dig out my old lens 75-300mm and got motivated again. In addition, temperatures got little warmer, therefore, I was able to go for winter walks again. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Winter Happy Morning Dove

I thought I will play with you small memory game. I looked back into some archives, and I thought I will re-post this image of the morning dove sitting on my BBQ. This is actually variation of the one I posted back on December 17, 2007. I checked who commented back than, and it is kind of hard to believe that lot of you are still around, and visiting my blog, and never mind its been more than three years. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Shake That Snow Off - It's Not Time Yet

Yes, it is not time yet for the snow. Last week we had snow falling all day, however, the ground was still warm so it didn't stay. Nights are colder now and every day we wake up to the freezing temperatures, yet we are blessed with beautiful fall like days with temperatures above 10 degrees C. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Harvest

I missed September post, so when I look back one day at this photo, it will remind me what I did. I been very lucky this year to get lots of tomatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers, squashes, apples, berries and more. My parents and my mother-in-law had a very fruitful year. So instead of blogging I been jarring everything and anything that got close to me, meaning given to me. Since I switched to glass, and I like freezing, my fridge weighs a ton. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Let me give you a little clue. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Beating Summer Heat In The Pool

We were beating summer heat in the water, until we all got sick. Unusual spring and summer this has been. We seen it all. I remember early spring was strange, one day we get temperature over 25°C and the next day hardly 10°C. Now temperatures have been soaring over 33°C and with humidity we were in the 40s. So I complained about winter being cold and not being able to get out for adventures - well now its summer and I am sheltered inside as well. Going outside its like walking into a furnace. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Eastern Kingbird Finally Arrived

I couldn't remember when Easter Kingbird [Tyrannus tyrannus] will be showing his face in our area. Last week I was passing by the area where they usually are found, and I was surprised how many I saw. Usually I see one, and this time it was between 6-7 of them in different locations. I don't know what is happening but I noticed that there seems to be more birds lately. May be I notice them more too. Well, this time I will be short and sweet. Click here to see more, read more and comment ...

Perfect Day That Was For The Ruby Throated Hummingbird

How did he end up in my backyard?

The answer is simple, my red Horse Chestnut tree, which in the past three years been very nicely blooming. However, I cannot take all the credit. When I look out the window from second floor the other day, I can see that everyone else has all the right settings for the hummingbird to show up, even the feeders.  Click here to see more, read more and comment ...
