Red Deer

A new location for me,  Pleasant Valley Trout Farm.  I believe its an old quarry.  Lots of Canada Geese, some Bufflehead and swallows.  The birds were far too far away for any reasonable shot.  So what's one to do?  Well, there's a couple of red deer by another pond just a few hundred feet up the road.  This doe? was more than happy to come see all the friendly camera club people.  It only took us about 15 minutes to realize she was friendly because we were standing right beside the wagon that held her corn cobs.  Lucky for us it was still fairly early and the colour in the sky was still warm.

Tundra Swans 2015

Past years I've shot thousands of shots of the migrating swans landing, taking off, soaring overhead.  Over the last few days the moon has risen early and bright giving me a new perspective on an age old subject.

France 2014

Last October, Nancy & I had the opportunity to go to Paris for an accounting conference.

We booked a bus tour of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley and then spent a few days before the conference in Paris.  Thanks to some clever conference scheduling, we had the opportunity to see more of Paris and area outside of meeting hours.

Of the over 5,000 images, you get to see just over 50.  I liked how the light struck the subject in many of these shots. Many of you know my love of "street photography.  Shooting from the hip is great fun in crowded area such as the Montmartre section of Paris.
