Every summer Stratford hosts a music festival, it isn't the type that has big name people playing in it and it doesn't involve drugs or large parties but it's more geared towards old people as they make up most of Stratford's population and most of the tourist that come to Stratford are seniors as well. Each year they have fireworks to signal the start of the festival and this is the first time I wasn't working so I was able to try my hand at firework pictures which I think turned out very nice. The light on the left-hand side of the pictures is a street lamp and the small white light in the bottom right is the moon. The last two pictures are my favorite ones that I was able to take.
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. Mallard Duck from a previous walk. One of many trees with signs of woodpecker activity. Black-Capped Chickadee. Downey Woodpecker. Pileated Woodpecker. Black-Capped Chickadee. Pileated Woodpecker.
