A-Z Challenge 2025 

C is for Cardinal.

Cardinals are beautiful birds and exciting creatures to photograph.  In the Spring, the males become very territorial and will defend their "turf" from all rivals. 

Here one is attacking his most detested and most bitter nemesis - his own reflection in the window of my brother's motorhome.  

My brother and I had wildly differing opinions on this turn of events!  LOL

    I love this Pic which shows the bird's ire...but that bird brain still can work.

    I remember when you first posted this -- so interesting to see a bird reacting to its own reflection.

Alley in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada The lights in this alleyway, really liven up this little alley!  Walking and photographing at night is always such a different experience from taking images during the day.  Black and white really suits street photography.

  I had a great night last night at Lundy Manor Wineries, attending a Mystery Night, with my niece Tammy and her husband Kevin, Tammy's daughter, my great-niece Paige, and Tammy's friend Hilary.   Lots of fun and I met some great people.  I was "Mayor Gibson", the mayor of a 20's style town, with mobsters, prize fighters, singers and starlets.  It was extremely entertaining and I got right into character, and won the "best actor" of the night award.  LOL

  A-Z Challenge 2025 B is for Bear!  I was in Algonquin Provincial Park in September, 2014 when we were treated to two female black bears, each with two cubs.  They were in a blueberry patch and stocking up for Winter. One of the adults was chill and used to people, but this young mother was raising her first two cubs and she was a good deal more..."nervous".  It did result in some spectacular poses though, although this "stare down" moment was a trifle unnerving!  Note, I am no where NEAR the bear.  This is taken with a powerful telephoto lens and also cropped! The cubs were adorably cute!
