photo of the day....

Recently came back from a trip to the Prairies - what a beautiful place it can be.

 
Thought this photo was great - the shadow of the dragon fly against the
cracked paint of the barn !
 
Will upload more as  I go through my 500 pictures !

Last Year....

Went out to the prairies again as I have been doing the last few years.  Here are a few pics from that trip.

Came across a quilting show in the city park in Moose Jaw - was a bit surreal actually.....all the quilts were strung between the trees ....
This was taken after an adventure with tics - now that's another story - but I played abit with  the colours as you can tell.  Beautiful Canola field

And my love of graveyards, for any of those who are following me - there are so many out on the prairies - this huge cross was in the middle of one little graveyard in the middle of nowhere.

Again - this was taken at a different graveyard - the sun shining through the barren tree.

Hello Hello

 
Well a recent trip to Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, BC we came across this guy wandering around.  Had the most beautiful plumage.

 
Was hoping he would show us the whole array, but alas....I just chased him around trying to get a good photo !!

 
Such beautiful plumage !!!

Don't Bug Me !!

Have a couple of good shots of some smaller creatures .......First one was climbing on my Clematis flower.  I am sure he/she was making a good dinner of it before I came along.


This one I caught testing the necter on one of my marigold flowers.

And this I came across while I was on a visit in Moose Jaw, SK.   

All in all I thought they were pretty cool !!!!

Lady of Guadalupe


I think this is one of my favourite shots from my trip to Puerto Vallarta.

She looked like a 'traditional' lady dressed in her white cotton and hair loose.

Just liked the serenity of it all....

El Panteon

I have this thing for graveyards.  Luv wandering through - reading the headstones.  In Mexico their cemetaries are so interesting !  Here are a few pics from Puerto Vallarta.
