Geese in Flight
These Canadian Geese where photographed in flight. My new camera is allowing me to produce some exceptional photographs.
Stunning Tulips
The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.
(quoted from Wikipedia)
These photographs feature stunning color and beauty and are definitely a sign that spring has arrived.
Mallard accessorized with blue
This mallard that I captured in Riley Park, Calgary, Alberta was not afraid of human presence. I actually think he stopped to pose. Apparently the blue spot that can be seen of the body indicates that she is a female.
