I have been plagued with bad weather. Too much mist. The mountains in a haze. But finally it all became clear. Bull Mountain with the Kootney River British Columbia.

Summit Lake
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.

Pitaya
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
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
Hallelujah,Hallelujah
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
Hallelujah,Hallelujah
The church bells are ringing
You can hear him calling
Just walk a little closer
Join me and the Lord
Gory Hallelujah,Hallelujah
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
Hallelujah,Hallelujah

When I First Saw You
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

Hey, Come on Honey
It’s Saturday night
The clock strikes eight
I got a pocket full of money
I’ll call my honey
Going down to the bar
It’s not too far
I got a pocket full of money
I am walking my honey
I’ll take her hand
Oh, I feel so grand
I can hear the music
I hear them blues
The band strikes up
It is the blues, so slow
Hey, come on babe
We dance, oh so close
We’ll sway our hips
We will touch our lips
We move our feet
I feel the heat
Oh, that feels so good
Just gives me the mood
That slow,slow blues
As the band plays on
Ah yeah, love you babe
You and the blues
That is the way
It should be
The clock strikes four
It is late, the hour
I will walk you home
Oh what a blues night
Hey. come on honey
It’s Saturday night
The clock strikes eight
I got a pocket full of money
I’ll call my honey
Going down to the bar
It’s not too far
I got a pocket full of money
I am walking my honey

Mica Bay, Lake Superior
Mica Bay, Lake Superior. This was one of my enjoyable evenings spent exploring the shoreline of Mica Bay, Lake Superior.
The evening was becoming late as I observed this scene. The lake was rolling gently. The exposure would be long. That would create a dreamy affect on the water. More so in the foreground. I cast around for a suitable collection of rocks at the water’s edge. The composition soon came together in my mind. I set my tripod as low as I could set it. Therefore, allowing me to create an illusion of less water. To tighten the composition I shot vertically. Too much water would spoil the effect of the composition.
I stretched out on the beach. Being eye level showed me my composition as I wanted it. Thus I was able to create my scene.
