A beautiful day...

Today we ventured to the Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Delta with our adopted parents, my aunt and uncle.  I get so excited when I go there, it is a wonderful place to take in the birds that God created - soooo many of them - I am in awe!! Seems I get to see something new each time, we go there or go anywhere for that matter; living behind the lens truly does open one's eyes to their surroundings and each time I am out and about I feel blessed for the sights I get to see.

Wood Duck - male in full colour and female beside him.  Doesn't seem right that the male duck is more colourful than the female.  When we were here in July I saw the wood duck for the first time but didn't get to see a fully coloured male, the ones I saw where in the non-breeding colour, still beautiful but not as spectacular.

Not sure what type of bird this one is... she moved gracefully through the water bobbing her head into the water and then back up again; long neck and light gray so beautiful! (not sure it was actually a female)

  1. Thank you, Teresa for visiting my gallery on the Canadian Geographic Photo Club site - very much appreciated! Reading your blog, I see we have much in common such as love of birds, "living behind the lens", the need to share these great photos, the desire to see one win a contest or get some sort of recognition, as well as the spiritual journey and endless dialogue with God.
