Calendar May

I wish I could have been a little closer and I wish the water had been smooth but I just had to include this photo.  These are the same 2 swans on the same pond that was in the calendar last year.  Only last year they didn't have a family and this year they do.  We particularly wanted to stop at this same pond to see if the swans were still there and if there might possibly be some loons.  There were no loons and the swans were on the far side.  But then I saw this duck family going the other direction and I knew it would be a fun shot anyway.

This was last year's photo of the same pair of swans.

Here is a bear beside the road in British Columbia.  He was feeding and walking along side the road.  I got up on top of the cargo boxes in the back of the truck while Connie drove the truck and we followed him along the road while he grazed on plants and berries.

This coyote we spotted along the road in the Yukon.  After we stopped to take pictures of him he approached the truck and when he was about 20 feet away from me I decided to get back in.
