First island of my hoilday

For my March break i went on a cruise. The first day was on the island of Porto Rico because the baot didn't leave till the next day. We stayed at a nice hotel and the hotel had a a lot of these black birds flying around the pool. Right outside my room was a tree which some of the birds were in and that is how i got the first picture.

We went for a walk down to the beach the day we were going to board the boat because we had some time to kill and it was a very nice beach but it was very windy and there was no chairs and it looked as if the tide was coming in so we deiced to just take some pictures and go back to the hotel.

On the way back to the hotel we were looking at houses as we were walking by and i saw a flash of movement going down the wall of one of the houses and as i got closer i saw it was a little lizard. I got a nice picture focusing mostly on its eyes to bring out the colours.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.

So Many Woodpeckers

Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me.

Driftwood Provincial Park 2023

The first and most likely only camping trip this year was just taken on the July 1st long weekend. It is probably going to be the only trip because we just got a puppy and aren't quite at the stage yet of taking her camping. In some other news I got a new camera. Henrys was having an trade in event and for once was offering a fair deal. I traded in my Nikon D7200 and got a Sony Alpha a6600 instead. I got a 70-350mm lens and have an 16-50mm lens on order that should hopefully be in mid August. That is currently why all my photos are zoomed in and there is no landscape ones.
