One of my photos made it to the nominated stage (to be judged for final prizes) which also apparently means it's eligible for people's choice awards. So, please vote; appreciate it.

Walked by a fire today. Had the new Nikon 70-200 2.8 II on the camera. No sign of the fire on the street, so....
Awesome shot!
Just swimming on by; he was close. Not quite inside the minimum focusing distance of the 600 f4 TC at 840, but nearly :) Do note the swarm of blackflies.

Bull moose with a mouthful of red (e.g. young and succulent) Fragrant Water Lily. This guy simply did not stop eating for a moment, even when moving, while we spent an hour with him until he swam, waded right past us. #moose #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography #wildCanada
The very last bird I thought I'd see in the big city proper (this taken on a busy street in a light industrial area, and maybe 30 metres from a bulldozer moving earth): Eastern Wild Turkey hen. She was relaxed enough to be feeding on bugs in the grass #birds #urbanwildlife #nikonphotography
The remarkable artist (and man) David Hockney has died. A blow to a (increasingly rare) world that values beauty, not the market.
I am fortunate to have a work of his, which sits above my desk. (Sorry for the lousy photo.)
RIP Mr. Hockney.

Yearling bull moose peeking out of the bush at the edge of the marsh. #moose #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography #canada
A Blue-grey Gnatchatcher was kind enough to allow me to watch her fidgeting in her nest, and fussing with some last minute work on its construction, and then pose for a portrait in a nearby branch. #birds #birdphotography #nikonphotography #wildlife
Red-necked Grebes making, a, er, um, splash. It's spring!
