Cone Flower: ISO 1600, 100mm, f/5.0, 1/400

Fall is coming and the wild flowers are out!

This was taken at Lock 1 of the Tent Severn Waterway. Just a short drive from our home.

Fledgling Robin on a Butterfly Bush: ISO 1000, 150mm, f/5.7, 1/1600

The Robins must have had a second brood this year. This was taken late July.

This one allowed me to get close for a few shots. I then let the parents come with some food.

Free: ISO 400, 77mm, f/8.0, 1/2500

Caught this guy fighting the wind in Invermere, BC from my hotel window. The sun was setting and a storm was looking to be rolling in.

Against the background and big clouds he looks like a small bird. I believe he was a crow as he looked too small to be a raven.

Poplar Stand Mt Lorette Pond
Poplar Stand at Mt. Lorette Pond: ISO 800, 15mm, f/4.5, 1/1000

This is a stand of Trembling Aspens in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada. The backdrop is a pond.

Keeping with the black and white from my previous post, thought I would add this to my collection. The aspen bark takes on a silvery tone.
