My choice this month was an easy one - it had to be this Sandhill Crane. Finding them in such an unexpected place, and then getting images I was happy with, was an amazing experience.



What’s yours?

A sad month, losing our gorgeous Ruaridh at the beginning. We seem to have had endless days of fog or rain. Highlights of the month were two separate trips out with a friend taking photos one zoo trip and a road trip in the fog. I've gone with this incamera double or triple exposure in the fog, which came out as quite a brittle looking tree. A bit like I've been feeling

4 photos taken from inside my tent at SweetWood. I liked the somewhat abstract appearance of the result.

For all sorts of reasons this wedding photograph. Emotionally of course, because the bride's family are friends, but also for the connections between folk and the variety of people in the shot. I love the two FBI look-a-likes, the bride's gesture and the gentleman to the right of the photo peering at the group of four men which includes the groom, but there is much more going on which is quite fascinating.

I took part in the World Watercolour Month Challenge. This was my favourite, for the prompt 'turn'. All my paintings were about 3"X2"


I was pleased with how the photo of a failed cyanotype experiment turned out.

I liked that this Heron sat for a good part of the morning preening in the rain.

No question, this Great Horned Owl because it was truly a case of serendipity! Our paths just intersected for a few minutes and most likely won't happen ever again.

Great fun on Canada Day!

This is one of my favourites this month. I like the way the orange stands out from the dark background.

This was one of my favorites as I was so excited to catch a bird in flight.

My life has been really chaotic this past month, and I found myself doing a lot of food shots. I guess because food is something we need regularly even when things are crazy! Anyway, I've chosen one food photo and one non-food photo to share here.

This rather high-key shot of Indian take-out that we had for our wedding anniversary dinner:


And this spotted sandpiper, because it was cool to see it just walking around the pond on top of the lily pads!

I only took 14 photos during July, but I was happy with a number of them.
