A-Z Challenge, 2025  

G is for Great Blue Heron

I love Great Blue Heron's.  They're one of my favourite birds to photograph.  They are at once, majestic and strangely awkward in flight, but utterly unique. I captured this one on the Niagara Parkway, in the Fort Erie area.

    We've had one visiting our small pond for several years now. With a drought followed by a bitterly cold winter, we think he got the last of our fish.

    Wonderful photo. I've managed to get some excellent shots of them standing, because of course they stand so still, but I have never managed to catch one in flight. Beautiful!

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!
