When that first frost hits you know one thing is for certain….. Hockey is Coming…
These shots were taken a few years ago but they reminded me of the upcoming season of pond hockey, Canucks games, and toasty evenings by the fire.
A lovely warm Halloween this year and a beautiful moon a few days before.
Rule # 1 – Bring your equipment….
Rule #2 – Make sure you have all PARTS of the equipment…. ** cough cough.** Tripod attachment.
I did manage a few nice shots regardless of the lack of tripod but would have been an amazing night with proper stability.
In all the photos were better than the actual eclipse from my location. A bit of cloud cover seemed to blur out the moon for most of the night until after the eclipse was over. In the past I have found eclipses better in the early hours of the morning and not at sunset. In all, it made for a great night to have a picnic and enjoy good company.
I had this lovely hummingbird feeder outside my house, and I really enjoyed watching the birds flutter back and forth, battling who would get a chance to drink out of the feeder during the day. However, some new neighbours moved into the area. As much as they are fascinating and unique looking, they were not so pleasant to the local hummingbirds. In fact, I even was wounded by one of them. Needless to say, they had to be removed from the premise and we are all much happier for it.
Take a look at these white-faced hornets…
