Blog on Hiatus

I am sorry to say, that the blog will be on Hiatus for the next little while... at least until the little Bambino arrives and I can get back out and taking pictures!
I haven't been able to get out too much lately, so I apologize for the lack of posts before this!

Favourite Shots of the Year - Pine Grosbeak

With the new beast (aka the camera of DOOM) in hand, and a lot of frustration (HOW Do I change my settings again??)  I set out to photograph birds..  Luckily they were in a cooperative mood..
I think these are some of my fav shots I have taken over the past year or so.. This Pine Grosbeak was being quite photogenic... I hope you agree!


Regally looking off to the side..


and Ignoring the camera in its face..

Kenosee Birds Aplenty

I love the variety of birds I see up in Kenosee.. Far different then the House Sparrows and Magpies we get on the farm...

Hairy Woodpecker


Blue Jay


Purple Finch - was surprised to see a few of these fellas around!


Common Redpoll


and of course, the Black Capped Chickadee!

Pine Grosbeak 2

I confess, as I rarely see the pine grosbeaks, I am in LOVE with photographing them!
This one was in the branches of a large tree, right near the trunk!

White Tailed Deer Portrait

As I was hiding under a tree watching birds, I suddenly felt eyes on me..
There were 3 of them.. apparently they were after the peanuts I had put out for the birdies..



Not acting interested at all..


Peanut??
