Starting with the Letter – S
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.

With no internet connection at home I’m slowly working on editing the thousands of slides I copied last winter. I recently finished all the copies with Sandhill Crane included in the keywords.

Five Of A Kind
Five Sandhill Cranes flying to roost at dusk. Photographed at Little Quill Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada during autumn migration.
This is my day 5 contribution to Becky’s October Squares on the theme of Kind.
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Our Feathered Friends prompt.
With 30+ years of bird photos I decided to keep it simple and came up with the theme of size divided between North America and Europe.
A young Ruby-throated Hummingbird, one of the smaller birds found in North America.
Two Sandhill Cranes, one of the larger bird species found in North America.
A Eurasian Wren, one of the smaller European bird species.
Portrait of a Grey Heron, one of the larger European bird species.
This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Delicate Colours.
This week’s prompt came from Ann-Christine and was giving me some difficulty. I had a couple of ideas for the challenge, neither of which I was really happy with. Then I realised that the two photos I was thinking of were taken over 40 years apart, one in the 1970s and one in the 2010s.
So I decided to fill in the blank decades with a photo from each decade.
1970s. Autumn Beech trees in the mist.
1980s. A male Eurasian Bullfinch feeding on seed heads in a hay field.
1990s. Sandhill Cranes flying to roost at sunset in the autumn.
2000s. Chantry Island and its lighthouse through mist at sunrise.
2010s. A mist shrouded Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment at sunrise.
