Pelican Sky Reflections

We are having Brown Pelicans visiting Victoria Inner Harbour. They must  have come from some southern busy harbour because they seem to not mind the planes and activity around them. They are incredibly fun to watch and everyone is enjoying them so much, we hope they stay all year.  This is a sky shot for Sky Watch Friday and I did get some amazing really really close ups of the Pelicans when they flew over my head.  Next week I will put those in.

Here  is a reflecting Wood Duck.

 Some nice sky watching shots from Sidney, B.C. All the photos enlarge and look much nicer in the lightbox if you click on them.

My wide angle seems to be quite distorted here.  I am putting in the break here as this post has a lot of photos and please click the read more to see the rest of them, lots more pictures....

 Now we are reflecting the sky at Cowichan, B.C. and this is a good birding spot at an estuary.

 Right near there is a lumber mill and lumber yard. I don't think I was supposed to be in there but....

 And here we are reflecting the fall colors at  Koksilah River, B.C.

 I staged this one by putting the leaf on the rock.  Do you like it?

Here is the totem that is on the top of the Malahat.  When you click to enlarge you can see some of the mountains.

 These Longhorn Cattle were up at Cowichan also.  They came running to see me and wanted their photo taken or possibly something good to eat.

 These are for Camera Critters.

 This is Mr. Terrible, well he is cute when he is not in the bird feeder.

 These funny sheep all run as fast as they can to come to the fence when we are birding in Metchosin, they cry and cry and look hopefully at us wishing the truck was full of food. We must look like the farmer.

 Lots of texture in their coats.

 These were backlit and have so much shadow but I like anyway.

That is it for the weekend, see you back again for next Monday and I will tell you about my visit with the amazing Pelicans!
