Best Canadian Blog
2004 - 2007
Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Wow…just…Wow..
A fabulous collection of photos.
Thank you.
There was one of these perched in the maple tree in my back yard yesterday. I went to get my camera but it was flying away when I got back. I don’t think my pic would have been this good though.
I wonder what kind of camera she used and how many frames per second it could shoot, or was she just enormously lucky to press click at the right instant?
Great pic,I’d love to see #1
Is that a blue heron or a species I am not familiar with?
Green Heron. Superb!
I think as little photo-shop, in flight, but nothing (Motion) is out of focus (blurred). Very high speed indeed! Maybe a frame from a super Slow-Mo film camera.

I am awestruck on a daily basis regarding the harsh beauty of Arizona.

I would have voted #2 & #1 reversed, and yes, there is a slight bit of “blur” near the tip of the one wing. Excellent shot though, the kind of thing my X could accomplish. Me, I don’t even know which end of the camera to point which way:-))))
I have been a fan of Arizona Highways magazine since I was knee high to a grasshopper. My uncle moved there after the war (WW2) and sent my grandmother a subscription. As a serious photographer I was always amazed at the quality of the work there. It is on the level of Nat Geo and that is the pinnacle of nature photographers.
Gotta love it though, in this digital age there comes a skepticism that all great shots were Photoshopped.
5 bucks says that bird has already been killed by a “green” energy windmill…
Modern Digitial SLRs can shoot 1/4000th of a second so achieving this still frame isn’t terribly difficult. The difficulty is in managing to capture the moment here, which is what the artist accomplished.
