This week Patti gave use the prompt Subjects Starting with the Letter – S for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge.
I quickly had a long list of ideas for the challenge and was considering a couple of different themes to build a post around.
When I realised that one set of three photos were taken in different seasons I decided to go with a set of four photos, one from each season.
A fallen branch Sticks out of the Snow while Surrounded by Shadows cast by the Sun on the South Bruce Peninsula on the winter Solstice.
A Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus) Surveys its Surroundings on the South Bruce Peninsula in Spring.
Backlit Sandhill Cranes Shortly after Sunrise on the South Bruce Peninsula in Summer.
A juvenile Sanderling on the Lake Huron Shoreline in Southampton Shortly after Sunrise. A Stopover on its way South during autumn migration.

Wonderful collection, David. The light and depth of color in these images are beautiful!
Thanks Patti. I was originally planning to go with as wide a variety of images as possible until I started concentrating on getting as many S words in a short caption. That’s how I ended up with 3 bird photos.
The birds were a great choice.
Finding a fourth bird for winter would have been nice but that was a severely limited choice.
Yes!
Well David, you turned a simple challenge into a stunning set of esses! Beautifully done, loved both the images and their well-thought descriptions.
Thanks Tina. I would have preferred more variety rather than 3 birds but they did allow me to get lots of esses in short captions.
These are remarkable captures, David!!
Thanks Amy. My original plan was for a variety of subjects but then I started selecting photos based on how many words starting with S I could get in a short caption.
Great ssshots. Love the ssssnow.
Thanks John. It was a fun challenge trying to get as many S words in a short caption. A wider range of subjects would have been nice but I hampered myself by going with one photo from each season.
Love your S-birds, David! Many s’s indeed. And the branch in the snow is another loved one.
Thanks Ann-Christine. A bit more variety would have been nice but in the end I went for the maximum number of S’s.
You did well on that too!
I seem to think that there was 25 S words in the short captions although that may have changed due to me constantly editing them until I posted.
