2016-06-14: WPC Pure

It was wonderful watching the group that these two zebras were a part of; there were several youngsters in the group, but this little one was by far the tiniest. She spent lots of time nuzzling close to mom, and when she curled up for a rest, Mom kept a watchful eye and was never far away.

I find it so peaceful to spend time bearing witness to these animal’s lives, if only for a few moments. That’s my take on this week’s topic: Pure.

2016-06-10: Feel Good Friday

It’s been AGES since I posted an ellie photo, hasn’t it?

I really hope no one is getting bored with the number of elephant photos I share, but honestly, they just bring up such happy memories when editing and viewing them, it would be hard not to.

Happy Friday, and have a lovely weekend 🙂

2016-06-05: What I’ve seen this week

I spent some time Saturday morning watching the birds in the backyard, and happened to be at the right place at the right time to see a male and female western tanager pass through the yard. It was only the third time I’ve ever seen these birds, and the first opportunity to photograph, so needless to say, I was thrilled.

I had another interesting sighting earlier in the week; while out on my bike I spotted an interesting bird with a very long beak. After looking on my bird app, I figured it was likely a long-billed curlew, a first time I have seen the species. I hopped in the car with my camera to see if they were still in the area, and luckily managed a couple photos.

That’s enough of the chatter, I hope you enjoy the birds I have seen this week 🙂

20160605_What I've seen this week-9 — A dark-eyed oregon junco with her chicks. Even though the ground was full of sunflower seeds that I spilled earlier in the day whilst filling up feeders, the chicks still wanted Mom to feed them.

20160605_What I've seen this week-4 — I was watching the hummingbirds with camera in hand when I saw a flash of yellow land behind some branches. I moved slowly to get a better vantage point, worried I would scare the bird off before getting to ID it.

20160605_What I've seen this week-10 — The male and female tanagers arrived at separate times and only stayed a minute or to. I was really lucky to have seen them.

20160605_What I've seen this week-2 — A pair of long-billed curlews with a chick (mid photo far right). I was taking photos when pulled over on the side of the main road into my neighbourhood, so I didn’t spend any time adjusting settings; a couple quick photos then I was off.

2016-06-04: CBWC-Close Ups

I finally caught Cee’s Black and White Challenge topic with time to participate; this week’s them is “Close Ups”. And me being me, I thought what better subject for a close-up than elephants!

I hope you enjoy, have a great day!
