Fabulous sequence of the bumble bee Alan. Great reflection as well.

Great idea Eric and so many wonderful examples. That Bluebird images is really stunning. This week we had another snowstorm that dumped over 12" of snow on Friday. There were hundreds of American Robins that were stranded on their migration and all looking for food with all the grass, yards and...

Nice ones Eric. You can almost hear the birds. I have one butterfly from yesterday and some singing birds from my older images. Yellow Warbler. Male Red-winged Blackbird. Chipping Sparrow. iNaturalist says this is a Millbert's Tortoiseshell butterfly. Perhaps one of my favourite spring...

Thanks Alan and Jim.

The South Saskatchewan River runs through Saskatoon and has a man made weir in the middle of the city. I went there yesterday morning to see if the pelicans were feeding where the water pours over the weir. No pelicans were present but this beaver was walking along the concrete abutment. You...

Beautiful set Eric. That Orange Sulpher sure knows how to pick a flower colour. "Yard birds" only works for me if my yard includes the local river. Our spring migrants are definitely coming back. The American White Pelicans are a harbinger of spring here in Saskatoon. Ring-billed Gulls and...

Nice graphic introduction as usual John. I expanded your "Roadside attractions" to include "Trailside Attractions" so I could use images from various bicycle trips my wife and I have done over the years. Often, when on a cycling tour something makes you stop and snap a picture. This seems easier...

Beautiful story, beautiful images Rick.

I really enjoyed looking at these fabulous photos Michael. Beautiful.

On the prairies we are anxious for spring to arrive. I'm sure it must be here because I went out this morning, waded through 7" of new snow that fell overnight and saw this patch of 'Snow Drops' in full bloom.

I love seeing those bees at work Alan. Nice series of the Killdeer as well.

Thanks for those gorgeous images Eric. I love the pose on that Semipalmated Plover. My contribution today completes my images from my trip to BC. On my way back to Saskatoon I must travel through mountain passes. A serious accident on the road to Jasper closed the highway for over 12 hours...

What remarkable images Ken. Really no difference when you switch to mono.

Eric.. These were taken at my daughter's place in Slocan B.C. so a long way from where I live in Saskatchewan. It is just getting above freezing in Saskatoon so I will be back in a few days and see what migrants have started to come through. Thanks for the comments.

Hi Michael. No on these I just hand hold with supporting the camera on the tree stump. The image stabilization on the OM-1 MKII and the 90 mm. macro lens is quite remarkable.

Oh how I enjoyed your images and descriptions Eric. Well done.

Travelling interrupted my ability to respond to WW so a bit late but here goes. All images shot at Slocan in the last week. Pacific Wren in some bull rushes with a rim of frost. Bald Eagle heading to a nesting site on Slocan Lake. Chestnut-backed Chickadee in the bush beside the house...

The mountain does look beautiful in this light Alan.

Maybe one in a hundred times that I go birding do all the stars align and I see the bird I was after, it cooperates, the light is good and my camera was set up correctly. This happened yesterday as I was walking through the Slocan Campground while visiting my daughter in Slocan B.C. An American...

Thanks Alan. Yes it is a 50 image stack.
