A-Z Challenge 2025


J is for Jay

Blue Jays are the most common of the jays, at least here in Ontario. Their striking colouration makes them very attractive birds and they are quite tolerant of humans, so they are readily seen and photographed. 

Note, I missed yesterday's post.  I cannot get into the reason for that yet, but I will at some point.

      Thank you Anne. They are very attractive birds and fairly tolerant of people. They are a very common site here. I love their little crests. They are like the punk rockers of the bird world...in more ways than one!

      They really can be, as they're a good deal bigger than most songbirds. They can be quite cheeky!

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!
