Taken in the late winter/early spring of 2005 with a Canon A75 at a boardwalk in the town of Ste-Marthe-sur-le-lac, Québec, CANADA. The white expanse of snow visible beyond the trees is the frozen snow-covered Lake of Two Mountains. Although I could see the arc of the trees when I took the shot and that is what I was aiming to capture, it was an extremely sunny day and I did not anticipate that the circle would be completed with the reflection… / Featured in All That Is Nature, May 2009 / Featured in Bits & Pieces group May 2009 / Featured in # 1 Artists of Redbubble May 2009 / Featured in the Natural color and light group February 2009 / Featured in Everything Winter / and Trees May 2008 groups. / Featured in Seasonal Scapes group October 08. / Featured in Seasonal Scapes group November 08,
Canon 400D / Iceberg season is offically upon us for another year. This was the first Iceberg of the season for me. It was a very foggy and drizzly day, but these bergs were well worth venturing out in the weather. / / From the Northern tip of Labrador down to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, the sea that pounds and caresses these shores is nicknamed Iceberg Alley. Bergs born 10,000 years ago on the Greenland icecap dance along the coast and far out to sea, propelled unpredictably by wind and tide, tumbling, twirling, and breaking into fantastic shapes before melting in the warm waters of the gulf stream. / / An iceberg’s journey down Iceberg Alley begins once it breaks off from the edges of Greenland’s glaciers. Dropping into the ocean, it is gripped by the Labrador Current and carried through the dark ocean along the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the past, during certain times of the year, the alley has been thick with the largest and most beautiful icebergs found anywhere in the world. They glide majestically along, alone or in groups, obscuring the horizon with their tall, jagged silhouettes. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / More in this series / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography
November 11,2006, driving through an early winter squall from Calgary and into Banff National Park, in the Rocky Mountains. Caught sight of Castle Mountain and stopped to wait until the wind and clouds gave me the view I was looking for. Very cold, but I managed to get several that I liked. I think this one is the best.

I took this on the way home after a Christmas Concert by the Big Rock Singers and just had to share it right away. We have had a dump of six to eight inches of heavy wet snow lasting all day, causing me to shovel several driveways several times today. However, the absolute beauty of freshly fallen snow mixed with blue Christmas lights makes up for any of the day’s toils. Hope you like it.
I can only speculate that the winds in the fall blew fine mist, off Wabigoon Lake, onto the shoreline at freeze up. Grass, small shrubs and the rocks are covered in a thick layer of ice. I can only imagine what it looked like before the snow flew. Dryden, ON.

In terms of breathtaking, there’s Canada – and there’s Winter in Canada. / No words can adequately describe the exhilaration of being in this winter wonderland when Canada’s famously cold winter climate transforms and embraces mother nature. If you’re longing for the ultimate winter, don your mittens and scarves, go outside and marvel at the magical beauty of Canada’s magnificent scenery. / Winter Canadian-style is Winter At Its Best!

They were able to assemble it in a day, as they used to follow the bison herds on the prairies. Much of their food, shelter, clothing and tools all came from the Bison. So when the herd moved, so did they. Many of their daily rituals revolved around nature. For example; The Tipi was made using 13 poles. The 13 poles in the tipi represents the 13 full moons we have in a given year….When you enter a tipi you go to the left and circle around in a clockwise direction. This represents the way of the sun…The door of the tipi always faces East, to meet the rising sun. The Plains Cree relied on the land to survive. It was sacred and they recognized that every living thing was of importance. Plus they only used what they needed. Things never went to waste. A good lesson we SHOULD all be following today. I serve as an interpreter at the Center, and this is part of the written teachings, as we take the children through their many nature programs.

Canadian geese taking off in the morning from Prospect Lake, Wheat Ridge, Colorado. I used my 70-300 lens for this capture, so they look like they’re really close. I also added some dry brush in PSE 3.

In my yard late winter 09’ playing in the puddles, enjoying life~ / / Canada Goose Facts / • Life expectancy about 20 years / • Weight: 20-25 pounds / • Migration is a learned process / • Migratory geese flight range 2 – 3 thousand miles / • Resident geese flight range: 100 –200 miles to find food, water, and safety. / • Resident geese can fly long distances as their migratory cousins, but generally have learned that it is not necessary. / • Migratory geese do not become resident geese unless they are injured. / • Mating season: February to March / • Geese mate for life and will stay together during all seasons. / • Geese will find a new mate if mate dies or is killed. / • Migratory geese nest in Canada. / • Geese nesting in the U.S. are “resident” geese who were born here. / • Resident geese were imported to the area for rebuilding dwindling numbers for conservation or hunting. The urban nuisance was not anticipated. / • Nesting Season: Mid March to mid May / • Age of geese when they begin to nest: 3 years / • Geese return to the general area of their birth each year to mate and nest. Sometimes the exact site, sometimes a nearby pond or other body of water. / • The instinct to return to their general area or birth is very strong. / • Migratory geese fly 2,000–3,000 miles to return to these sites. / • Resident geese do not know how to migrate. / • When geese are chased from their traditional nesting area or the nesting area has too many nesting pairs, they find alternative sites to nest … sometimes farther from water, sometimes in nearby ponds, sometimes on rooftops or balconies. They will hide their nests. / • Geese prefer isolated sites near water to nest. Islands are their favorite location. / • Nests are usually on the ground, in the open. / • Sometimes geese nest in brushy or swampy areas not subject to flooding. / • When egg laying begins the “Father” goose will stand sentinel watch nearby, but not so close as to give away location of nest to a predator. When a solitary goose is seen during nesting season a nest is somewhere in the vicinity. / • The eggs in a nest are called a “clutch” / • Average number of eggs in a nest: 5 / • Mother goose lays 1 egg approximately 1_ days apart until full clutch is obtained. / • Eggs not being incubated are cool to the touch. / • Mother goose waits until all eggs are laid before she begins to sit on nest to incubate eggs / • Incubation time: 28 – 30 days / • Undeveloped eggs (still fluid) will sink or float vertically with the wider portion of the egg pointing down. / • Developed eggs will float horizontally or at a slight angle and break the surface of the water. At that point they are one to two weeks away from hatching. / • All geese eggs in a single clutch hatch on approximately the same day / • Baby geese are called “goslings”. / • Natural predators of geese are foxes, raccoons, owls and snapping turtles / • Goslings can fly approximately 2-3 months after hatching. / • During June adult geese lose wing feathers and are unable to fly. This is called molting. / • Molting season runs from early June to late July. / • Geese can fly again approximately 6 weeks after molting. / • Generally by early August all geese (except injured geese) are able to fly. / • During the molt geese need to be near water (any water) for easy escape from predators. The molting area needs an easily accessible food supply. /
