Mini-Snap in Cumberland
A mini snap of some kind discovered in Cumberland BC. Probably just a garden variety carried and planted by birds.

Dragon Exhaust Cone
As promised, this is the exhaust cone in flight photo. A direct influence of the Military jet airbase here in Comox BC. An image for Ripley's no doubt. Bets could be won here.............
I never use PhotoShop. Only the edit pgm that comes with Kodak's ESP7 printer. In other words, my jpegs are real. TG

Red Dragon Lady
Red dragon lady because obviously she has forgotten to shave her legs. From the dock at Lazo Marsh in Comox.
Dragon flight from above
Looking down off the dock a Lazo marsh. These large blues were playing tag, making it very difficult to get inflight shots.
Dragon Blue Aloft
This went well this morning. Finally getting some in flight Dragons. Surprising to see a jet assist cone on the backside.
I will upload a rearward shot that shows what seems like a jet exhaust cone. Must be Comox military air force influence.

Downy Pecker
They tell me this is a downy.
Is that correct?
Guess I should look it up but time is pressing right now.

Bee Thinking
He hovered a bit as though thinking so I snapped him as a reflex action. Glad it turned out well. Not planned at all.
Bloom and Bud
This is a bloom that grows on a medium size tree. Taken at an old truck garden farm that once fed loggers and miners in Cumberland years ago. This may not be all that common. I don't know the name of it. Do you?
Buck nibbles fruit tree buds
This is the same buck munching buds on a fruit tree in Comox. Antlers in velvet are not always even.
Deer is quizzical
Deer in Comox are sometimes odd. This one seems to ask... Do I know you ? I thought he may leave stage left, but he just turned and started nibbling on fruit tree buds.
PS: Don't mind the nipped antler. The buck felt no pain. I should have waited for that right ear to show though.

Killdeer..broken wing faker
Notice the peculiar feathering along the wing edge. Cloudy day fails to bring out the eye luster. Still, not a bad image.

Flicker & Dark Head
Flicker normally have a light grey head. Not sure why this one is so dark. Some bird pro on ePhotoZine.com will probably have an answer for this. There are Flicker close-ups earlier in this blog for comparison. TG
Owl and Crab meat
This is a more normal view of the owl's face. He sure is happy to chow down on crab meat. The robins were hounding him but he didn't do much except to move off to another branch. The light in this dark bush is next to impossible. TG
Owl Dinner [Lobster?]
The owl was eating what seemed like a small lobster. The
Robins were raising a big noisy fuss and followed the owl
with his supper as the owl tried to evade them. This 'fuss' drew in other curious birds. Piliated woodpecker,
Downy, Western Tananger, Chipping sparrow and Bewick Wren. TG

Damselfly Blues
Blues because there were several of these new hatchlings flying about. About 1/3 the size of an adult. Sewing needle size. See the two tiny diamonds in the wing tips?
