Trinity

Trinity

 

Trinity is a popular place to visit in summer, but in winter it looks entirely different.  Today’s photos were taken in mid-February, 2004.  It was a cold winter’s day with winds whipping around the light snow.  Note how the snow banks in the second photo are right up against the house.

Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.

Painted Bunting 2

Painted Bunting 2

 

Today I decided to share a few more photos of painted buntings, including a couple of a female which is predominantly greenish yellow.  It is difficult to photograph these birds because even the slightest sound or movement scares them away.  Then it takes several minutes before they get the nerve to come back.

Painted buntings are found in the southern USA, Mexico and Central America.  The males are brightly coloured with blue heads, red breasts and green backs.  They are small birds that like to forage in thick cover or seed feeders.

Boreal Chickadee

Boreal Chickadee

 

Once, while walking through the woods behind my house, I heard the familiar sound of a chickadee and spotted one in the trees close by.  It stayed there long enough for me to make a few photos.  I later identified it as a boreal chickadee.

Swallow-Tailed Kite

Swallow-Tailed Kite

 

I have photographed swallow-tailed kites during trips to Florida.  This one flew out of an orange orchard then circled above me a couple of times before disappearing again.  I was lucky to capture a few good images of this bird in flight during the minute or so that it was close by.

Today I decided to share photos of a river in Holyrood.  JUst a minutes walk from the Conception Bay Holyrood, I have photographed the small waterfall fairly often.  These photos were taken in July, 2001.
