Migrating Pair

So I finally got the chance to go out for a walk today to try out my new camera a little more. I just went down to the Bird Sanctuary, but I did manage to get a few good shots. What I really like about this one is the weird lines the clouds made.

Autumn Duck

Today I went to the Digital Photo Expo with Chelsey from Wishing Star Gallery. After a few hours lusting over camera equipment that we couldn't afford, we went for a photo walk around a local park. This is one of the shots that I took. I really like the colours that are reflected in the water.

Osprey Hunting

There is a nest of Ospreys near the lake that I visited in BC. This one spent a a while hovering over the lake looking for fish. I wish I had a better zoom so that I could have got a closer shot.

I still can't believe that pelicans can stretch their mouths like this! This is another shot from Kangaroo Island, Australia.

Great Blue Heron

On my last trip to Vancouver, I went for a walk down to a hidden nudist beach. The weather was a little cold for any nudists, so it was nice and quite and I managed to get a few nice shots of some of the bird life there.

Geeselings

I went for another cycle today and while I was down by the river I saw these two Canadian Geese and their babies. So of course I couldn't resist stopping to take a few shots of these cute little guys.

Feeding Frenzy

This busy scene I shot at a small fishing port on Kangaroo Island (Australia). A guy emptied a bucket of fish scraps into the sea, and it wasn't long before this was the view.
