This card was originally made for Nella, upon her request, as she desires to learn Chinese. :)
The bird was claiming the seeds all to herself, chirping and chasing away all others (including my dog River). :)
As those who know my work are all aware: I don’t usually “play with” Photoshop effects (of course except frames as I love framing). This time I can’t resist the concept so I used “vivid light” as an effect and add an extra gradient layer on top of the photo. I can only hope it worked.
100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of this item, will be donated to Bush Heritage Australia Photo of Gentoo Penguin taken at Neko Harbour, Antarctic mainland. The Gentoo Penguin is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species Melting sea ice and overfishing have triggered a dangerously rapid decline in penguin populations on the Antarctic peninsula – a direct result of global warming, warns a new report from the WWF. Temperatures on the frozen continent are rising five times faster than the global average due to the unprecedented rate of climate change, pushing four species perilously close to extinction. Warmer temperatures are forcing penguins to raise their young on increasingly thinner and more precarious ice floes, while stronger winds mean many eggs and chicks are being blown away from their parents before they are able to survive on their own. The gentoo, chinstrap and adélie – along with the emperor, the largest penguin species in the world – are now struggling to survive as melting sea ice destroys nesting sites and reduces vital food sources, such as krill.

River enjoys the snow so much that she pulls me on a harness on the cross-country ski trails in the provincial park. Of course she never misses a photo opportunity and loves to pose for the camera! :)
This is River’s way of saying “good morning” to Tchoko!
Many expressed concern or even restrained/politely withheld “ridicule” to my going out in this blowing snow. They were all right, the sky was mostly gloom and doom and one could not see much but for a split second, just a blink of the eye, the sun peeped through in all this mess – is it worth it? Well, you be the judge! :)
It was a freezing crisp day, -27 in Park Voyageur. This is the little footbridge that leads to the frozen lake. There was not a soul out there in this cold, not even the birds or deer or squirrels, just River and me, the “die-hards”. :)

The doe was playing with two of her fawns and my dog/”fawn” River when they all heard a dog barking from outside the woods. All of a sudden she stopped, pricked up her eyes and listened intently in order to determine if real danger was approaching. I thought this would make a good card for the group Art for Conservation as the doe wold be “on guard” for nature! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada

Back in the deep summer, when all were in blossom and the leaves were rich in color and taste, the doe had plenty of time to experience the “other things” in life than just search for food. One day she decided to figure out what creature it was that I carried around with me and pushed at the top of the “head” from time to time to make a sound. She came so close to the lens that I had to quickly change to a wide-angle one in order to take this photo. Right after that instant, she took another step further to “pat” my “pet” with her tongue! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park
This fawn has become one of River’s best friends throughout the summer. When the fall arrived and the leaves were turning golden, she played with my dog-fawn every time we came to the woods. It was a sunny morning. River was lost to the fawn under the tall grass. The fawn stretched out her long neck, making herself look like a giraffe, in order to search for her friend. She also made an almost “puffing-hissing” sound that I seldom hear mule deer make, which River seemed to recognize as a “calling” so she came running to her feet in no time! The “sisters” united right after the picture was taken of my “fawn-giraffe”. :)

This is a photo taken just before dawn in the woods of Mont Laurier, just before one reaches Val D’or, where one drives in the nearby Canadian national park for hours with only nature and wildlife. It’s a winter morning at about 5:30am and the camera is pointed away from where the sun was to come up.
