PRETTY QUIET AROUND HERE THESE DAYS.

Haven't been out shooting very much lately.  I changed out my prints in our clubhouse January 1.  I have eight prints there that I change out monthly.  I drove to Osoyoos yesterday morning to deliver a print I entered in their January show at the Art Gallery then last night I drove to Osoyoos for camera club meeting.   Tomorrow I will hang two more prints at a display several of us are installing at the Oliver Curling Club.  I'm also in the process of selecting entries for in a monthly cross country photo competition.  I enter one with the camera club and three individually on my own.  Another thing I've been working on and perhaps the hardest, is deleting as many of my photos as I can.  If I have multiples that are very similar, I try to reduce that number as much as possible to save on storage space and just cut down on numbers.

COUNTING SHEEP VIDEO ON OUR WALK YESTERDAY.

 

I GOT TO PLAY WITH A COYOTE ON SATURDAY.

As well as a Canyon Wren and a couple of eagles.

Nap time.

It finally stood up and wandered out of sight so I thought that was it.

I could hear a Canyon Wren up in the cliff so I started working my way up toward it when I happened to look up and see the coyote was following along the rim watching me.

Looking at Aileen down on the road.

Watching Aileen again.

I finally did find the Canyon Wren.

While driving home Aileen spotted two eagles on the ice.  The ice is all gone today with our mild temperatures and lots of wind.

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO THE PAST FEW DAYS?

Well, we checked out a couple of our usual spots and I took a walk along the river trail in our park.

Still lots of ice on the cliffs.

A few sheep posed for me.

We got to see a Golden Eagle at a distance.  It was just a speck to the naked eye.  This is what my camera saw at the equivalent of 1280 mm.

Cropped way in for a fuzzy graph.

Ice bells in the river.

Poison Ivy berries are just as toxic as the rest of the plant.

I'm guessing this beautiful grass came from someone's garden and seeded along the river pathway.

Some nice colour along the trail.

CONTINUING WITH THE SUDDEN DROP IN TEMPERATURE PHOTOS MOSTLY TAKEN ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE. THE LAST FEW WERE TAKEN ON THE CLIFFS ABOVE VASEUX LAKE.
