2016 Year in Review #4

Coming in at #4 in my year in review was the post 2016-04-19: WPC Dinnertime.  The WordPress photo blog prompt for the week was about mealtimes, and vultures feasting  on a carcass fit the bill perfectly.

After my time in Kenya, I have a different take on dinnertime to share.  We spotted a lion couple right after leaving camp on an early morning game drive, and the male decided that what was left of the wildebeest carcass was going to be his, and his alone.  He dragged the kill a good hundred metres or so before settling down again for a rest.  The female followed along behind, but didn’t try to get too close.  I’ll have more photos from this sighting to share in the future, but I hope you enjoy this one for now.

2016 Year in Review #5

I decided to take a look back at my most “popular” posts of 2016 – going only by the number of post views; since many of them are from the earlier part of 2016, I’ll be sharing them again over the next few days, along with a new photo related to the the original post.

I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane 🙂

Coming in at #5 is the post 2016-02-07: What I’ve seen this week.  I was lucky to see a pair of eagles during my daytime walk back in February, under lovely blue skies.

The photo below was one that I originally dismissed, but looking at it again, I really like the triangles of light hitting the eye, beak and back, which tie together with all the triangles created with the mess of tree branches.

2016-12-24: Photo Slideshow

Hi everyone!  I recently put together this photo slideshow for my photo club Christmas party, and thought I would share it here as well.

The photos are taken over the past three years, and there are several from each of my trips to Africa.

I hope you enjoy, Merry Christmas, and all the best for the coming year.

2016-12-19: Monochrome Monday

Something a little different for today’s Monochrome Monday.  During last week’s full moon, the moonrise happened while I was out on my afternoon walk with Spencer.  I hadn’t planned on taking any photos, but it looked so lovely rising above a farm in my neighbourhood, I had to try to capture a few quick shots.  It was also -28C and standing still for any length of time was not going to happen (neither was spending much time without my mittens on!)

Handheld with a fairly slow shutter speed, I managed to get a clear shot, but it was so dark and noisy, it wasn’t going to work as a traditional landscape shot.  So I played around instead, and came up with this interpretation.  It’s very dark and moody, but I liked it and thought I would share.

Have a great week everyone!

2016-12-18: What I've seen this week

I managed to capture a few photos of some of the local wildlife this week.  I hope you enjoy, and have a great Sunday.

I’ve been seeing this rabbit in the neighbourhood for months, and it makes me sad as it is definitely not one of the regular wild hares, but likely a pet that someone abandoned.  During the bitterly cold snap we have been having, I make sure there is some of the feed we leave for the deer accessible for him/her.

Fluffed up against the -28C temperatures.  This flicker spent the day back and forth between the suet feeder and places like this to rest.

Just like last winter, the deer bowl was empty, so split-ear raided the sunflower seeds I leave out for the birds.  And, she’s teaching her young ones the same tricks!

Four deer were in the yard when it was time for me to fill feeders; they are quite comfortable with me and I knew they wouldn’t go far when I was outside, so I took my camera along and grabbed a few photos.  Good thing it had warmed up enough that I only needed gloves on, not mittens.  Operating a camera with mittens is just not functional.

Food fight!

Not quite the customer I had in mind for the sunflower seeds!

2016-12-15: WPC New Horizon

For the coming year, I plan to continue to challenge myself to explore new places, walk my own path, and plan adventures to the places that call to me.

That’s what I did in 2016, and it has been a fabulous year.
