Yeah, that’s right, I said beautiful. I was one too, who used to think that the turkey vulture was ugly. Well that was until I started to go to bird and wildlife rescue, recovery and rehabilitation centres more regularly, which began a couple years ago. There are a few on Vancouver Island and I love…
Oooops. I missed a couple days already, of my “blog every day” commitment to myself. I applaud those bloggers and vloggers out there who have been writing and posting daily for years on end, as it isn’t easy for me to remember to do it every single day … yet. Every day I would think…

Especially during this time of year, I try to visit a pond daily if I can. When all goes well, I shall have lots more bird photos coming up over the next month or two with Spring on the way. I love the relationship between duck and I. There is no such thing as “that’s…
I try to visit a pond daily, especially this time of year. Lots more bird photos will be coming up over the next month or two with Spring on the way. I’ve only started seriously learning about photographing birds over the last few months and I am thoroughly enjoying the peace, serenity and beauty of…
Male mallard duck (drake), Nanaimo, B.C., Vancouver Island, Canada Whats to love? The glorious golden light, the natural light, him looking at me, us curious about each other, the colors, the water droplets on his feathers, the composition, the golden curvy blurred water on which he paddles, the beauty and aaaaaahhhh that I felt when…
