Evan played at the playground at the Calgary Zoo for a couple of hours this afternoon, I don’t think he stopped running the entire time… I wanted to capture that energy, so flipped to Aperture Priority mode and dialed in f/22 and ISO 100 to go for the longest possible exposure (and had the CP filter on as well…) Used the park bench as a MacGuyver’s tripod. The bright spots are the first poplar fluff of the season.

growth
The grass along the Bow River valley has started getting tall – over 3 feet tall here, and growing fast.

the view from the bench, late spring
There’s a bench at about the halfway point on my commute, overlooking the Bow River valley and Canada Olympic Park. I’ll sometimes stop here to rest for a minute, or to just sit and think. It’s a great spot, very peaceful, and at this time of year is surrounded by the sounds of birds singing.
joining the party
Ducks gathering on the pond near the University of Calgary campus.
blowing field
Bonus photo! Evan and I went for a hike after supper, and ended up at the dry pond near our house. The dandelions have all gone to seed, making for some good dandelion-blowing 🙂
a good day for soccer
it was dry, cloudy enough to keep the UV down, and breezy. great soccer weather… I’m coaching, so can’t take pictures during the practice/game this year (probably not ideal to be lugging a 300mm lens on a DSLR while running the field with a bunch of 5- and 6-year-olds…). I have to settle for scenery shots after the game 🙂
2000km
not the greatest photo – but I had to commemorate hitting 2,000km on my bike so far in 2008. On track to easily beat my 3,500km target I’d set for myself – might even make 4,000km this year! I only did 3,100km in 2007…
reflected poplars
reflections across the duck pond, near the university of calgary. recent rains have increased the level of the pond, causing some minor flooding on the far side, along the road.
