Maple Leaf in Water: ISO 400, 140mm, f/2.8, 1/300

I took this shot the same day as I took the Mute Swan (Cygnet) at Lock #1 of the Trent Severn Waterway in Quinte West, Ontario.

Fall colours arrived late this year but they still never disappoint.

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.

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.

These are small flowers in our backyard garden. The majority of them are white with a pink interior. The odd one is all pink. Makes you think of the the saying, "Be Different."

Nature is full of surprises and wonders.
