Saltscapes Calendar

Hi All,

Just recieved the 2008 Saltscapes Calendar, and June features an image of mine of a fawn taken last June back in my native Pictou County NS.

It was an awesome experience, and am happy to share a rare moment in time with everyone.

Thanks to Saltscapes, their fine magazine can be found at www.saltscapes.com







Cheers,
Gary

Winter!


Hi All,

Since winter arrived to the Maritime Provinces this weekend, I thought I would share a collection of images from winter past. The temperature plummeted to -7 Celcius and it became quite windy and raw whilst out on a birding field trip yesterday. 2 Bright Red Cardinals backdropped against the newly fallen snow was a treat.

Below is an image of Oak leaves frozen under the ice. Pictou County NS.

The beavers are pretty much tucked away in their lodges in this kind of weather, with a winter's supply of food stashed away. This image was taken in Willard Fraser's pond, Pictou County NS.

Canon EOS3, 70-200mm F4l lens, Fuji Velvia film, and B&W Circular Polarizer filter.

Time to get out and enjoy the snow, it sure beats complaining about it!

Cheers,
