Swans and a Sunny Day on May 7th, 2022.
Digital, 2022.
These are some of my favourite photos of my favourite trumpeter swan, Pet. She kept preening and spreading her wings and the lighting conditions were perfect. The sun shone beautifully through her wings and transformed her into some type of ethereal being.
Unfortunately, these are also the last photos I have of her as I’ve been told that she’s no longer with us. I’m not sure what happened to her but I’m devastated. Pet was such a kind soul and never hesitated to waddle up to us and say hi. Sometimes we would sit side by side to enjoy the sounds and sights of the lake. I was looking forward to hopefully seeing her again this winter but it wasn’t meant to be. I’ll miss you, Pet.
The last photo is of the male mute swan making his landing. I heard some loud clapping over the lake and wondered what was going on. A split second later, I realized what I was hearing and had my camera at the ready.

Digital, 2022.
This was one majestic sunset. I had just recently upgraded my camera and the timing couldn’t have been better! I know for a fact that many of these images wouldn’t exist had I taken them with my old one since it couldn’t handle low lighting well. I felt so lucky that I was able to get a shot of Pet spreading her wings with that beautiful backdrop behind her.

A female trumpeter swan and a male mute swan out by the lake during spring. The trumpeter swan, Pet, was such a darling to be around. The mute swan on the other hand was very territorial.

Colourful Hydrangeas on May 4th, 2022.
Digital, 2022.
While grocery shopping this past spring, I couldn’t help but notice how gorgeous these hydrangeas were. I love when flowers start showing up in stores because not only does that mean the weather is getting warmer, but also I get an opportunity to photograph some beautiful blooms. Luckily, these were outside so I was able to get some nice natural lighting.
