Last October we travelled to Churchill, Manitoba for 5 days to try for polar bears. The first 4 days gave us terrible weather with constant 40-50mph winds, blowing snow, and of course cold temps. What bears were around were not moving and we saw a few but very far away, at least for my camera gear. We did have some nice encounters with Red Fox and what they call Cross Fox (a color variation of the red fox). One curled up Arctic Fox, a few Ptarmigan, and Arctic Hares were also seen. The very last day the wind was at a more manageable level and the sun was partially out! Driving around we finally had a nice encounter with a Polar Bear walking up the coast line. It really was beautiful.

So these are some of the photos from our trip...

Wow, that black-faced fox is stunning - I would love to come across one of those.

What inspired me to post this is a small pleasure I have enjoyed for the last thirty-three years since moving to the Lehigh Valley of PA.

We are on the flyway for Snow Geese coming down from Canada. The geese will come down around dawn and fill many acres of the harvested corn fields in the area. They are eating the kernels thrown off as the harvesters load corn into large dump trucks that haul them out of the fields. In addition to kernels being thrown off by the transfer process, additional kernels get jostled out of the trucks.

In the late afternoon, after feeding all day, the geese take to the skies and look for a lake or pond to land in for the night. They form massive V-shaped formations that stretch for miles. Tens of thousands make this transfer from fields to water each day. This goes on for about three weeks until colder weather drives them farther south. Sometimes you can catch these formations set against a great sunset and that is truly awe-inspiring.

I love standing outside and watching as wave after wave of these geese fly over (better they fly over a little off from directly overhead as they can plaster an area with droppings -- my car and driveway have been victim to that on several occasions). You can hear them from a mile away. Sometimes the stream of honkers lasts for ten or fifteen minutes.

Remembering films I've seen of D-day, also makes me think of the waves of bombers the Germans must have seen as the formations flew over in support of the Allied landings at Normandy.

Great to see - and great to view your photos if you can't watch the birds in person.

A husband takes care of the baby at home while the wife is away. She keeps texting him asking, "how's the baby?" He responds by sending a photograph.

Enjoy! I did!

Is she ever likely to leave the babe with him ever again? Perhaps that was the object of the exercise, though!

Very interesting. I'm wondering how people actually get into their homes!

The first photo is a specimen from my tour of the University of Costa Rica butterfly nursery. The rest of the photos are from the butterfly preserve we visited on our way down to the ship from Monteverde.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

White is free, all other colors cost you a few hundred.
I heard they were changing the free color to gray. Not sure though...


When they say white is free, that implies that they didn't have to paint it white in the first place!

What's left of this old heart is shattered.
I had to put my 2 pound, 17 year old Yorkie to sleep today. Give your pets an extra hug tonight. Can't say more because it's hard to see what I'm typing when my eyes are raining.


My condolences. My eyes are watering on your behalf.

Like them all, but that first shot of the posing seal is amazing! Sometimes a great photo is all about capturing exactly the right moment.

Do many families in England use the "crackers" at their Christmas dinners? All the English TV shows have them. We've been doing that in our family for years. Amazon has lots of choices. You can also buy them from Fortnum and Mason in England, for Ā£250 and up - each.

I'm English, although I've lived in Canada for most of my life. We always had crackers on the table when I was young. The tradition clearly is alive and well in Toronto. The stores were full of boxed crackers so many families must be buying them.

Most of the loosely moderated FB pages for portraits are hit with semi nudes, heavily tattooed glamor, staged model shots and other sexually charged images.

As one poster said, "A portrait should let you see something of a person's personality regardless of what that may be. A glamor or cheesecake shot is meant to display sexy or attractiveness regardless of what a person's personality may be."

Has there been a blurring of types of photos or just sloppy admins. Your thoughts?

Let's simplify what a portrait is. It is a picture focused on a person. I consider myself to be primarily a portrait photographer (not a pro). I look for shots that reflect personality or something about the person I know. A shot that makes me feel something about them. Sometimes, the most favourite photos of a person aren't studio shot images, but ones that simply say "Wow, that really shows the real Bob (or whoever).
