muskrat in Wascana Creek

I had walked down to the shore of Wascana Creek with the intent to photograph some pelicans that congregate on shoes in the water, when I spotted this muskrat swimming toward my position. I took this image as it approached where I was standing.

A muskrat foraging for breakfast. This fellow did not seem to be bothered by my presence at all. It looked at me once for a few seconds, but otherwise was busy searching for fresh green shoots.

The wildflowers in the foreground were lit up by the sun coming through the gap in the trees. This image was taken in Wascana Park in Regina.

A view from a footbridge of the channel between the shore of Wascana Lake and Pine Island. I played around with this image in post processing, using a water enhancer tool to tweak the colour of the water, and converting the image to a 16:9 ratio. I also added some clouds, because the sky was featureless.

Another angle on the channel separating the short of Wascana Lake from Pine Island, taken from the foot bridge linking the two. A solitary Canada Goose glides on the water in mid-channel, with three other birds barely visible in the upper right.

A foggy, calm morning on Wascana Lake. A combination of the fog and some cloud created an unusual effect with the rising sun, which I augmented in post processing.

All it took was one Canada goose to create some ripples on the channel between Pine Island and the shore of Wascana Lake, on a calm, foggy morning.

The lighting effects in the sky were changing minute by minute as the sun rose above the fog over Wascana Lake. This image was taken about a half-hour after sunrise, before the warming air could burn off the fog completely.

An old bridge abutment was converted to a waterfall, which helps to aerate the water in Wascana Lake. It's also a magnet for people, or course, including photographers who risk getting some spray on their lenses and cameras.

clematus survivor

A clematis grows up a small metal frame by the wall of my back patio. I always wonder if it will survive the winter. This is a blossom that survived, before the new growth started to appear.
fiddleheads

Aptly named fiddlehead ferns that grow along the fence just outside my patio door. After about a week or so the ferns stretch upward and lose that distinctive fiddlehead, so I always set aside some time to capture this lovely sign of spring.

A solitary grave stone in Cottonwood Cemetery, framed by trees, and with odd light created by smoky air. This image was taken less than an hour before sunset

A vertical perspective of the smoky sky about an hour before sunset, at Cottonwood Cemetery, north of Pense, Saskatchewan.

I decided - a day too late - to try to photograph the Aurora Borealis. On the evening I ventured out a band of wildfire smoke rolled through the area, eliminating any possibility of seeing the Aurora. The smoke in the air did create some interesting light in the hour before sunset.

There are a lot of Canada Geese in Wascana Park in the spring and summer. They show up everywhere. There is a building on Pine Island in Wascana Lake that is used as an observation post during rowing competitions. This one was giving me the eye from a perch on a windowsill.
