Fruity kinda day....

Okay  - this is really my first try at photographing fruits with my macro.

Here is the couple that turned out that I liked...

This first one is my fav...



I like this one with the scar on the apple....imperfections.




The colour in this one seems so vibrant...

 My veggies....green onions with the water droplets.

first camera club outing

Yep  I have joined a camera club.  Hoping someone can teach me how my camera really works.  

This Bird almost doesn't look real...think it is an Oyster Catcher.


We went down to Esquimalt Lagoon - bit of a cloudy day....



Found this pile of pears dumped...and this guy was checking them out..


Think this is a tad off focus....sigh....but great shot kinda. LOL
Thx for visiting.

Road Trip

 Well just did a recent road trip over to Saskatchewan - got a couple of nice pics.

This first one was taken first thing in the morning in Revelstoke, BC.



 Next one is an old farmhouse about 4 hours outside of Moose Jaw, SK

This one I took off the back deck of my daughters home in Moose Jaw, Sk.  What a beautiful morning.


these hawks were hanging around at the house - not sure what kind they are and of course I do not have a FAB lens - so this is the best I could get.  Maybe a sparrow hawk???


Went to the show and shine at the Snowbirds base.  



And my final one...the train tracks in downtown Moose Jaw, SK


Thanks for stopping by !!!

I am back....with my theme - birds of a feather !!

 Took these photos out in Sidney BC - at a beach we call 'Max's beach' 




But it is not really called that - just happens to be where we spread my dogs ashes years ago as he used to run and play there


It was a bit of a rainy day - all the droplets looked pretty cool on these feathers laying on the beach.

Thanks for popping by....
