Hi Chris - thank you. It's getting closer each day now, isn't it. The buds are coming in on the birch on the front yard. It's been a long, dull winter. I'm ready for the return of the colour. :)
That is one busy bird! We have Pileated's that nest every year in a big old tree across the street from us. I was listening to them call this morning and tonight. How I love that call!!!
I swear these photo's could be from my own town! Wonderful Candis. It feels like home : )
Hi Sharon - lol, it was completely absorbed by its work (how I was able to get close!). :)
Hi Kate - aren't they something. So large, with that bright red. I hope the one near you gets close enough for its photo op ... ;-)
Hi Scott - Thanks! Yep, it's back. It's so nice to have it back. :) The woodpecker shots were taken with the old D70s and 18-200mm lens. (As well as the full view of the pussy willows and the squirrel, while the others were taken with the D300 + 35mm.) I usually carry both cams, one with the WA lens and one with some zoom.
Lovely photos. Very evocative of the time of year. Makes it seem welcoming and warm even though (today anyway) it isn't.

ReplyDeletegreat shots, i can feel the silence.
ReplyDeleteNow I see how one can turn negative space into something very positive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joeri!
ReplyDeleteAndi, we're getting there. Slowly (oh so slowly) but surely ... ;-)

I love your Pileated woodpecker! I heard one the other day but never got to see it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, some excellent shots Candis!!!! Did you get the D300 back? If so it, and you, are doing a great job ;-)
