Its been a while since I have posed anything , I have some excellent excuses!

My friend Chris Martin and I did some shooting in Carburn Park in Calgary. We had heard about a few resident Bald Eagles there on an isolated island and went to check it out. We did eventually find an eagle but it turned out to be a lazy eagle and didn’t want to eat anything for us. Shame on you eagle.

We did shoot some of the other creatures of the park, turns out there was quite a lot.

I found these ducks on a partially frozen part of a creek that I was really enjoying.

The interactions between the three males and female was very interesting, it sort of reminded me of going to Cowboys during Stampede. There was a little bit of courting but then everyone got mad and flew away.

This one male seemed to get lucky, I wonder what they are doing tonight…Why do birds suddenly appear…No seriously baby, this is getting ridiculous.

You are a sly looking devil.

I really liked the reflection of the image above and worked on this guy for a while to capture an interesting pose.

During this duck hunt, a herd of Whitetail deer walked within a couple of meters of me. One of the males was a little curious about what I was doing and walked up to me with a bit of a PFO strut. I may have been in grave danger but I knew Chris was about 20m behind me armed with…a carbon tripod. I am sure he would have at least called for help, after getting the shot. Its a new tripod.

Guys, I got this.

Sup cyclops?

Some of the goose action was interesting as well. Not sure I have ever said that before, possibly typed it, I did a lot of online chatting when I was younger.

Then…We hooked up with Jack and found an isolated overpass, and well FLUNG some MOLTEN steel wool around. It was a lot of fun. And, none of us were horribly disfigured, so bonus!

Is this old mattress on fire yet?
