More Web Site Updates

Why stop at just updating the blog. In addition to WordPress I decided to give Coppermine Photo Gallery a look.

I had been considering making a change and this gallery appeared it would meet my simple needs. Well, one thing lead to another and a new CrazyM Bird & Nature Photography gallery is now live on my web site. I have not recreated any of my photo series yet, so there is still a lot of work to do.

As with the changes to the blog, remember to update your bookmarks and links to the new photo gallery.

April Fools & New Blog

What does one do on April Fools Day when it does nothing but rain?

Well I was not out taking pictures.

Instead I decided to look at changing how I go about publishing my photo blog. With some recent changes with my hosting service (webnames.ca) I noticed WordPress was made available by them for users. So I took some time to check it out online at the WordPress site. Well one thing lead to another, it did rain all day, and the next thing you know it was done. Well at least back to the beginning of this year. Time permitting I will transfer over my older monthly blogs.

I look forward to any feedback from those of you that do follow along.

Short-eared Owl

Given the success of the other day I headed out to Boundary Bay again in the late afternoon. The owls were active with one frequenting the marsh close to the dyke.

This Short-eared did not seem to mind our presence landing close by and ruffling its feathers.

Flight shots can be difficult with a long lens when the bird is this close as you can see here.

But I did manage a few at a better distance.

The shot of the day though came when I managed to get the owl landing.

And then finished with a more classic pose on a stump.
