Lots of rain.
Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:55 pm The snow came and went overnight, I was lookng forward to some snowy bird pictures. Anyway, between showers I had a walk down at the lagoon, there are lots of ducks there. They come for the winter from the prairies. The herons are always around so I had to make do with those. I have taken so many duck shots.

Those white spots on mushrooms.
Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:54 am Some mushrooms have white patches on them, they look rather neat, but why do they vary. Well, most of them like the amanita's, break though a veil when reaching the surface. As they break this, parts stick to it. These don't shrink but appear smaller as the mushroom gets bigger. More attach to some of the same species, thus making them appear different.

Waxwing tale
Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 9:32 pm A waxwing hit the window today and landed on the sundeck. I went out and just picked it up. I put it in an open cupboard on the deck. After 15 minutes or so, it moved onto the edge of the bed I hadd made for it (just a towel in a small wreath thing)I then just put my hand near it, not touching it at all. It just hopped on, as I walked across the deck it slowly moved up my arm and then flew off. I had my camera of course, shooting the last pic.

Lazy hummingbird.
Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2010 5:25 pm For a few years now, for photography reasons, I have tried to place a twig of some kind near the feeders. Images with the feeders in the frame just didn't meet my requirements. These twigs give the bird a resting place and then they don't have to fly back and forth. Well this hummer has really got these twig things of to a fine art.

Emerging Dragonfly.
Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2010 5:49 am When the dragonflies are ready to become adults like butterflies from a chrysalis, they climb up a reed or grass out of the water and then do their thing. I managed to take a photo of a dragonfly emerging. They shed their skins many times before this part of their lives. Rather neat I thought.
