Riding down the Jamaican Bobsled at Mistic Mountain, Jamaica, what a way to start the day! This is straight from the camera! It was about a 5 minute ride, one person in each of the bobsleds, so I had one hand on my camera and one had on the brake, okay I wasn’t always holding onto the brake, but my camera was secure!

Tango Lessons, Central Park, NYC

From June until September you can learn Tango in Central Park, NYC. Every Saturday at 6 pm a group gathers to dance, to demonstrate and to teach those who are interested. It was amazing to watch, and if I hadn’t been busy taking pictures I might have joined in the lesson. To watch the dancers weave their way around the cobblestone square was magic.

Waikiki sunset……
It has been a cold weekend, and while I have heard the tempetures will be better during the week, it is just the beginning of winter. Two things I am sure of, first there will be plenty more cold days ahead, and second it would be nice to watch the sunset someplace warm, Waikiki would do nicely.
For this photo I used a long shutter speed and a little movement to create an abstract landscape image.

Calgary Stampede Midway Rides at night

I was back down to the Calgary Stampede last night for another shift at the Western Photo Gallery, there is some great work on showing, and it was wonderful to meet and chat with so many of the photographers. When I was done my shift I headed back out to the midway to enjoy the crowds and the rides. Okay so maybe the crowds are not much fun, but as the night wore on and the sky turned dark there were fewer and fewer people on the rides, fewer and fewer people to walk in front of the camera! I almost made it out late enough to see the fireworks, but I had spent a good part of the day on my feet and I headed home.
Calgary Stampede, Midway Rides, The Chain Swing

Thursday I was at the Calgary Stampede, my turn to do a shift at the Western Photo Gallery and while I didn’t have much time to spend on the midway I did take my camera and fish eye lens with me, for a few shots of the midway. The Swing is one of my favorite rides, people look like they are flying out over the heads of everyone, and look like they might take off any moment.
The Calgary Stampede Midway has over 40 rides, tonight after my shift at the Western Photo Gallery I am going to try some of those rides, and get some more photos of people having the time of their life! Which rides is your favorite?

Hummingbird, busy looking for lunch

Here is the little hummingbird one more time. To learn more about hummingbirds and some of the best places to see them head over to the “Talk about Wildlife” pages. according to them hummingbirds are in the Calgary area between Mother’s day and Fathers day, gone for a while and returning after the Calgary Stampede until Labour Day. I guess they like a quieter Calgary!!!! If you haven’t yet put a feeder out, you can put one out next week, one might pop by for a visit. If you are considering putting out a feeder there it would be a good idea to check out the website for helpful hints, and considerations. I hope you have as much fun as I have had watching them. Let me know if you spot any in your area.
Working Hard for Dinner!

I love to watch the humming birds as the move from flower to flower, working hard for their dinner! They move so fast that it is sometimes hard just to see them. I took dozens of shots of this little guy, he was moving so fast in some frames he was gone before the shutter moved, in others he was just a blur.

Bill and I were lucky, one of the gentlemen that he was meeting with this week was driving from Würzburg to Bamberg today and offered us a ride in his new very comfy Audi suv.
So rather than carrying our luggage to the train station and onto the train, and then back to yet another cab and hotel we rode in the lap of luxury and watched the country side go by…………
