Something about gently flowing water is so calming and peaceful.

Taken in 2006 in Northern Ontario, Canada, East Bull Lake, with a Canon Powershot A75. I am fascinated by the reflection on water. Again no tripod. I wanted to capture the clouds in the water and the stillness of the lake. Featured in the Dawn and Dusk Light group.

Equipment used: / Nikon D70s / Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC / B&W 62mm Circular Polarisation Location: / Athabasca Falls, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada Map: / Road Map , Terrain , Satellite Copyright: / © Brendan Schoon , All rights reserved. Background Information: / This picture is taken near Athabasca Falls . Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park is just 23 metres high. However, it is not known for its height. Instead it is known for the force of the falling water due to the quantity of water flowing. Even on a cold morning in the fall, copious amounts of water flow over the falls. A layer of hard quartzite has allowed the falls to cut into the softer limestone below carving the short gorge and a number of potholes. White water rafting often starts below the falls to travel downstream on the Athabasca River to Jasper, Alberta. It is a class 5 waterfall, with a drop of 80 ft (24 m) and a width of 60 ft (18 m).

There are 59 species of eagle found in the world. Bald eagles ( 3-7 kg( 6.6-15.5 lbs) and Golden eagles ( 2.5-7 kg( 6.6-15.5 lbs) are the only two species that call North America home. Bald eagles are not found outside of this continent. They are Canada’s largest raptor or bird of prey, and are found in every province and territory. Roughly 100,000, (which about one third of the population) inhabit Alaska and British Columbia, particularly along the Pacific coast. There are also healthy breeding populations in the boreal (or northernmost) forest between Alberta and northwestern Ontario. There are smaller populations found on the East Coast. Some bald eagles call one area home, while others migrate short distances, either to breed or to escape the winter weather. Bald eagles live on the British Columbia coast all year round, and the numbers of eagles increase during the colder months. But those breeding in central Canada head south during the fall and winter. They migrate to west-central and southwestern United States and return only in the spring. Bald eagles, despite their name, aren’t actually bald. The name stems from “balde,” an old English word meaning “white.” Young eagles are dark brown with speckles of white, with dark grey bills and dark brown eyes. But, after four or five years, the feathers on their heads become white. Both male and female wingspans are about two metres wide. They can fly higher than 3,000 metres, at speeds of 105 kilometres per hour. When diving, they can hit a top speed of 320 km/h. Bald eagles eat fish, waterfowl and other small mammals. “PHOTO INFORMATION” / Taken on Dec 28/08 / camera; canon 40D / Lens; Canon EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 IS L lens. / Exif; 1/2000’s at f/11, 400mm, iso 800, 6250 Kelvin ( white balance). / Photo shot in raw and edited in Lightroom2.
This is the end of the rapids at the bottom of Raleigh Falls. I had to crawl down in a ditch and around a culvert to get this picture. A long shutter speed helped smooth the flowing water. 80 km east of Dryden, Ontario, Canada. Olympus E-3, 70-300 F4.0-5.6, Hoya ND 8 (3 stop neutral density filter)
Lilium canadense / Habitat: Moist meadows, wood margins / Colour: Yellow, orange or red / Flowering Time: June to July / Origin: Native of Eastern North America / Height: To 1.5 m The flower buds and roots were once gathered and eaten by North American Indians. This plant has become less common in urban and suburban areas due to heavy browsing by white-tailed deer. Captured: Humber River, Toronto / Nikon D40X with 105 mm Micro-Nikkor

Right after crossing the Yukon/British Columbia border on Haines Highway we noticed a beautiful grizzly bear munching on the red shrubs. When we drove closer, we realised that she was not alone but with a healthy cub rolling in the grass enjoying the warm sunny day. The bear mother gave us full 30 mins before disappearing into the woods (Canada).

Featured in Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature Art August 1, 2009. I have spent countless hours the past 3 summers trying to capture photographs of the ruby-throated hummingbirds that visit my property each year. This particular image is one of my favorites. I loved the way this female (whom I call Ruby) was perched on this branch, with both wings spread, looking down at the ant approaching her little foot. / —-—-—-—-—-—-——- / Camera & Location Details / Canon EOS Rebel XTi with 100-400mm (at 310mm) f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. SS 1/800, AP Mode, f/8.0 ISO 200. Photo taken on my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada / Flat Black Frame & Bright White Matting / / Ruby-Throated Hummingbird info. courtesy of Wikipedia / The Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), is a small hummingbird. It is the only species of hummingbird that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River in North America. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species typically only come into contact for the purpose of mating, and both males and females of any age aggressively defend feeding locations within their territory. The aggressiveness becomes most pronounced in late summer to early fall as they fatten up for migration. This is important because, as part of their migration, they fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of at least 500 miles. They feed frequently while active during the day and when temperatures drop, particularly on cold nights, they may conserve energy by entering hypothermic torpor. Due to their small size, they are vulnerable to insect-eating birds and animals. Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, blade-like wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects. During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/s, 61x/s when moving backwards, and at least 75x/s when moving forward. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—- / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

Algonquin Park Ontario, CANADA / September 26th 2009 / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens My husband went into the park station to buy our day permits and I lingered in the parking lot to see exactly what Roxy would do. But at one point, I wanted more information about her , so I followed him inside to question the ranger about her presence. He told me that unfortunately, despite being told not to, people had been feeding her and therefore she came back almost everyday. He said she obviously was old enough to hunt on her own and was from a spring litter. I made a joke, saying I would love to take her home with me! And I wondered out loud if my two cats would get along with her. With a wicked grin, the ranger told me:”Oh she will definitely like your cats!” / When I came outside she was taking “cat naps” on the pavement. But as soon as I would start to take pictures, she would run around the parking lot again.
