It was a rainy morning off and on. The date September 15 2018. I spent the night in Nakusp British Columbia. My brother was part of the Rocky Mountain Motogiro 2018. I had been asked to photograph the event. Summit Lake was our first stop to photograph the motorcycles passing through.
I captured this beautiful scene in between capturing the Motorcycles passing by.
Coldwater Bay is part of the Lake Superior Coastal Trail. The bay is located within Lake Superior Provincial Park.

Thank you Pierre for use of your painting. It inspired this poem
When I’m walking with Trees
A forgotten path beckons
Through an ancient forest
Covered in lichen and moss
When I’m walking with trees
My body is relaxing
My energy is flowing
My soul becomes of the forest
As I listen, to the forest sounds
The air is calm
The morning sunlight filtering
On the forest floor dancing
When I’m walking with trees
When I’m walking with trees
My body is relaxing
My energy is flowing
The path twists and turns
Over time worn rock
I have this feeling
Being watched from above
A light appears ahead
As closer I walk
The light it intensifies
Then before my eyes, fading
I hear a song
As I walk along
It is the trees whispering
A hush voice singing
A gentle caress upon my cheek
It is the morning breeze
Cool and fresh, a lover’s touch
When I’m walking with trees
When I’m walking with trees
My body is relaxing
My energy is flowing
The trees appear to nod
As I pass by
The air is clear
The sounds I hear
The brush of a branch
Gently upon my shoulder
It has been awhile
For now I smile

The evening was late. The last of the sunlight fading away. A spot of light caught the tip of the cactus, Pitaya’s emerging flower.
The Pitaya is a very large crawling type of cactus. The flower very large. The fruit makes an excellent drink.
Join Me And The Lord
The day has been long
But I made a song
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
The shadows upon the walls
The church bells are ringing
You can hear him calling
Join me and the Lord
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Just walk a little closer
To me, my darling
I’ll sing you my song
As we walk along
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
The church bells are ringing
You can hear him calling
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Gory Hallelujah,Hallelujah
The day has been long
But I made a song
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Gory Hallelujah,Hallelujah
When I First Saw You
When I first saw you
That smile
Just broke my heart
It was off the chart
You called my name
You gave me your heart
I gave you my soul
You are my sweetheart
Yes my darling
You are my love
We are forever and more
Sealed with a kiss
A kiss of love
Yes darling
You are my love
My forever love
You prayed for me
To be delivered to you
You waited four years long
Then I came along
You can rest your fears
Wash away your tears
You are in my arms
You will come to no harm
Yes darling
You are my love
My forever love
You need not pretend
Not pretend, anymore
I am holding you
Our hearts will blend
You will never walk alone
So baby, don’t cry
Just look up at the sky
Then say thank you
When I first saw you
That smile
Just broke my heart
It was off the chart
You will never walk alone
So baby, don’t cry
Just look up at the sky
Then say thank you

One day I had the opportunity to photograph this little baby waiting for a parent to feed it in my garden. I was able to set up the camera and tripod within five feet of my little subject. The hummingbirds are use to me being around them. I used my 200 mm lens.
The lighting was good. I was able to achieve a high shutter speed for good stop action. It was a delightful six hours of observing and capturing the hummingbird doing its thing
