As a newcomer to this site I want to express my thanks to all the folks who work tirelessly to make the magic happen on Focal World. It has been a welcoming and helpful community for discussing and showing our images. Here are some of my images from the last 12 months.
Image 1.
Bohemian Waxwings have such great colours to try and capture. This was taken close to my house. The tongue intrigued me.
Image 2.
Not a great image but the best I was able to do with my first attempt at photographing soap bubbles as they freeze just outside my back door.
Image 3.
A flock of 200+ Bohemian Waxwings landed on my neighbours roof and I was able to step out my front door and photograph them coming and going.
Image 4.
A local park is a great spot for spring birding. This male Yellow-Headed Blackbird was busy establishing its territory.
Image 5.
I had a great privilege to be invited to the top of a local tower to try and photograph the leg tags on nesting Peregrine Falcons. It was an exhilarating experience.
Image 6.
I love trying to make common insects that are often hated, sprayed and killed into objects of interest that deserve observation and understanding of their place in our world. This is a common fruit fly in my compost pile.
Image 7.
Sand banks along the river that goes through our city are great spots to explore and learn more about the life that happens in the sand. This is a sand wasp burrowing a tunnel.
Image 8.
Hundreds of insects were swarming the flowers in my daughter's yard in Slocan BC. This is a parasitic fly that cooperated by staying in place long enough for me to get a photo stack.
Image 9.
On a trip to a bird sanctuary near Vancouver B.C. I was able to get this beautiful male Wood duck as it lifted off the water.
Image 10.
A late fall wandering along our river revealed a bug I had never seen before. I used the 'Bug Guide website' to get an ID. It is a Shield-backed bug. Seems like a good name.
