The Beaver shots are just luck as the River is still high, and the Beaver are not always where they're suppose to be.

just love the water colors around the swimming beaver! and the vivid male goldfinch (since i only see them in their winter khakis). have been thinking of you and knowing you will grieve boomer for a long time.
ReplyDeleteGary, Boomer will always be with you, in memory and spirit.He will be looking right down as you learn to be on the trails by yourself, with a new camera, Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteGrief for a beloved one follows the love and happiness we have shared.Caring thoughts, Jean.
glad you're moving along Gary and good to see you posting again. Have noted your comments here and there.... You are in a differing phase of life, changes happen inevitably and switching your focus somewhere knew is what we need to do to take our mind in new spaces again. That you have bought a new camera is a good thing for your soul and experimenting with it out in the places you so enjoy will offer new energy. Take care -----
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of camera did you get? Good to see you post again. I absolutely love the Goldfinch and Shoveler shots.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you much. It will take time, I'm glad you are out in the woods again. And more than grateful to you for sharing the images. I looked at the slide show to see the birds more closely, and those were wonderful...but I also loved the shots of the beaver; he is just so intent on doing his job!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are out in the woods with your new toy. Great captures as always. Love the beaver with his/her reflection.
ReplyDeleteSo many great shots! All the birds that were here months ago are not there. Funny to see. Love the beaver!
ReplyDeletePhotography is a good hobby. I am glad how you are involved with your new tool. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Gary, good to see you posting. Terrific photos again. I love the beaver shots. What kind of camera did you get?

ReplyDeleteHi Gary. Great to see so many species, superbly captured during your wanderings. Sorry to hear about the loss of Boom but he will always be watching you. Take care.

ReplyDeleteHi Gary
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the nicest photos you have posted, I think, and you have posted some lovely ones in the past. The first photo of the beaver is unbelievable, I also thought the Redstarts especially the one playing coy and the Goldfinch were quite exceptional.
All the best.

These are gorgeous photos, Gary! Your critters look so amazing in a nice weather condition..
ReplyDeleteWe all miss Boomer, I think!! He was a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteLoved your wildlife as always...the one "Redstart Playing Hard to Get"...made me smile. I know just what you mean.
Sorry I didn't get around to visiting yesterday...no power due to storms!!
Very nice photos. I know Boomer is there with you in the forest. Peace.
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job of capturing the diverse wildlife in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteI really like the beavers.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed very much...
Warm greetings from Holland,

ReplyDeleteI love the bright yellow Goldfinches, Gary, and the swimming beaver. It looks like Spring has arrived full force there!
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful and so different from my environment! The beaver photos are especially great - I can even see the light glinting in its eyes!
ReplyDeleteSuper fantastic shots! Your new camera seems to be working out great!
ReplyDeleteso sorry about your loss; i'm a week behind on account of vacation. really sorry.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Gary, Hope you are faring well. Sometimes it helps by getting another dog or puppy. Which is what we did after a month or so.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful spot!
ReplyDeletethose little yellow birds are delightful! and of course the beavers - something we don't have in my corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteStay busy, and have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
You are making miracles with your new cam, your previous shots were no less though... Wonderful pics...
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely shots of your world. That beaver shot is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures - I'd love to see those big old river rats!
ReplyDeleteHope all is a little better.

I'm so sorry I missed your post about Boomer. I know how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet and companion, and wish you well. These are some wonderful photos - enjoy learning to use your new camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Gary
ReplyDeleteLovely photos you've shared with us, I especially like that little butterfly with her shadow. :)
ReplyDeleteBack again...I always come back to your posts wherever I see you linked because there is so much to admire. Actually after the first time I was here, I got to thinking about how a beaver could have possibly gnawed that tree up so high and I meant to come back right away to see if I remembered right; I missed the explanation about the high water before. So...happy to be back and have that cleared up in my mind as well as seeing your birds and beavers and flowers again.
ReplyDeleteHi! Fantastic shots. The beaver shots are very lovely. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThose beaver shots are awesome :) I'm sorry to hear about your loss and hope you will continue bringing us a slice of life from your part of the world. Thanks for popping by to my blog today too :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like they're good swimmers - beavers.

Enjoyed the nature tour. I've been loving the song of the woodthrush here but I don't know what the bird looks like.
