Violet-green Swallow Portrait

This portrait was taken at Powell Lake near the Shinglemill last year,

but I was there again last week and wasted some of my retirement time watching a
number of these birds cutting swathes through the air. Nice to see.

Wow! Our swallows fledged several weeks ago and we haven't seen them since. The barn swallows are different. They come back each evening to pick off the flying insects and hang out in the garden for a while. - Margy

A retired life in Powell River, my home for over 40 years. Photos of people, events, scenery, birds, floral and whatever else happens to catch my eye between Saltery Bay and Lund. The photos will be a mix of current photos and those pulled from my ever growing archive, but all will be taken by myself. While Powell River is home, I do occasionally leave town, and that also will be reflected here.

Unfortunately I'm dealing with a few issues that require me to at least temporarily slow down on the photography and the blogging. The joys of getting old!

So I'll still post, but definitely a bit erratically.

And please note, all my posted photos are under copyright.
