It was -4 celcius at 6:30 this morning, the lake was frozen 20 feet out from shore, the geese were honking, my nose was running, but the shutter finger was working. The trumpeter swans, snow geese, and most Canadian geese, have all but gone. Our days are shorter, temperature is dropping, and the deer are rutting. A typical Northern Alberta fall day!!

    Hello,

    I really light the gradation of light and the colors on the first one. The birds are almost "floating" on the still water with such clean reflections.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
