Continuing in Stanley Park

Continuing our walk in Stanley Park we surprised this racoon having a snack.  He gave me a little snarl and we continued on our way.  This particular walk was good for seeing animals of all types and I will continue to post some of my favourites from the park.

Walking in Stanley Park

Continuing my walk of the other day in Stanley  Park, I came across this fellow who spotted us from out in the lagoon.  Obviously he thought we had some food.  As he or she got closer, we did reward it with some food.  Hope you enjoy.

A Red Eyed Towhee

Yesterday as I was walking in a nearby park with my daughter and grandson, I came across this colorful little fellow.  I had never seen a guy like this before, so to the internet I went.  He is in fact a red eyed towhee also called "chewinks" for their call and "ground robins" because like robins they are ground feeders.  They belong to the family "Fringillidae" or family of finches.  And now you know!!

Live well and prosper.

Snow in Vancouver !!!!!

While it is not unheard of that we get snow in Vancouver, it is always a surprise to us when it happens.  This morning my grandson invited me over to see the snowman he and his dad and mom made this morning.  I decided to take my camera along and here is the beast, all 8 ft high of him.

Back to Ukraine

I last visited Ukraine in 2003 when I took my mother there on a tour to see the birthplace of her parents in SW Ukraine.  I have always remembered the friendliness of the people and thought I would go back some time.  With no return on the immediate horizon, I thought I would review some of the images I took then.  I would love to return and do a better job of portraying the country and people with my work.

Live well and prosper

A Beautiful Day in Vancouver

Today was a magnificent day in Vancouver!  I had the opportunity to see the new apartment of my daughter's brother and sister in law.  As they are on the 38th floor of their apartment building, I thought the view would be good.  However, I was wrong, the view was magnificent !!!

Enjoy

Sand Dunes at Night

In keeping with my theme of showing composite images, here is one that I quite like.  The sand dunes were taken in Namibia during the day, and the sky comes from Hawaii also during the day.  My manipulating both images and then placing them together, I came up with the attached.  Enjoy.
