This week Beth led us in the challenge with the theme Wings!
Please check out her beautiful examples of wings HERE on her blog, Wandering Dawgs.
This summer a butterfly landed on our nephews exersaucer, with him in it and hung out for a few minutes. Long enough for me to get my camera out and take several photos!
A grasshopper in our garden, he was an awesome subject to photograph, turning to share his angles with me!
Dragonflies sitting near a pond.
The hummingbirds were fun to watch!
They seem always on guard.
Next year, I up the shutter speed to capture their wings better! I do love the motion! Their wings are incredibly fast!

Baby seagulls on their rock island
I love all the bee’s!
Beach Seagulls
Geese
Bald Eagle above the Saugeen River, I had no clue what I was photographing, something caught my eye, I shot, then I saw what I had captured!
A gorgeous Blue Heron
How cool would it be as a photographer to have gardens, rivers, lakes to travel to and from, you have no worry in the maintenance, you just get to show up with your camera(s) and get to shoot to your hearts content. Even better, you can get your fix at home, on your own property with birds, butterflies, bees, bugs, blossoms etc!
Winter in Southwestern Ontario has been interesting this week, so although I had wanted to get out and get some snowy bird shots, it didn’t work – yet! So this week I was able to share and enjoy some ‘wings’ throughout the year and various seasons.
I truly am grateful for these challenges, I am feeling behind this week, with Christmas deadlines hitting earlier this week for creative creations, this is the first time Ive had to sit and focus, as I knew I wanted to find a variety of images. My goal of snowy birds, will be met, when the time is right!
Be sure to check back on Saturday, December 6 at noon eastern time when Ann-Christine will be hosting the challenge.

I look forward to your snowy bird photos, Pam! In the meantime, your gallery of all seasons is certainly a great teaser. My favorite is that final photo where the blue heron is posing for you.
