I spotted these little house sparrows jumping around my workplace when I was returning from my lunch break. There are a bunch of them around the jobsite and they're really no bother at all, at least not to me....

Megan and I couldn't get enough of all the different birds in Mexico, birds we never get to see at home. For example, the brown pelicans...


And the majestic frigate bird...

It snowed on Southern Vancouver Island today, and I didn't have to work. I went out and took some photos instead. Most have ended up on my Facebook page for my friends to see, but I saved this one for everyone to enjoy...

It was my lucky day. Three different species of bird in one photo. There are 6 birds in total here. Can you see them?

I had no subjects to photograph today, so I'm going to share an old photo I took about two years ago. It's one of my favorites of a robin that landed in an oak tree I was sitting under on a very gray afternoon...

Boxing Day shoppers weren't the only crowds we encountered today...

Megan and I went for a little walk after shopping today to get away from people. We brought a few pieces of dried bread to feed the ducks. At first there were only 3 ducks, but that quickly changed! These ducks are pretty used to handouts from people, so they get close enough to touch. One even walked over my foot! I have a 30 second video of this little encounter, during which you can hear an excited Megan say "I touched one!". Maybe I'll post it on Facebook.

A handmade decoration from one of Megan's coworkers. I actually like it. The person did a good job!

Photo #239

During our 2008 trip to Hawaii we visited Pearl Harbor, and while I could post a picture of the Battleship Missouri or the USS Arizona Memorial, I've decided to share a couple of photos of a friend we made while having lunch...

It's a zebra dove, and yes he has a deformed foot, but he's adapted and was very social.

Or perhaps he just wanted our Doritos...

A great view from somewhere along Dallas Road...

Can you see the gull in flight near the top left corner?

Woodpecker near Swan Lake. This guy was huge, too! About the size of a crow!

Right outside my balcony this afternoon. Alfred Hitchcock would love this....

While photographing mallards on the pond today, this little girl decided to fly up onto the rail right beside me to say hi. Then she struck a pose...

A Great Blue Heron patiently fishes from a tangle of kelp at Ogden Point...

I know very little about fishing, but I'm told a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

It's about that time of year again...


 Sometimes I wish I could fly south for the winter.

Photo #128

A barn swallow in flight. Zoom!

I don't care that this photo is a little out of focus or that my subject isn't centered. I'm just happy that I finally captured one of these cool little birds in flight. I really enjoy watching them chase bugs, but it's next to impossible to photograph them flying because they're so fast. Like little fighter jets!
