Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Unusual

 

A couple of unusual things came to mind immediately when I thought about this challenge.

One was this grasshopper with a leg injury  It was able to hop perfectly well and straight but when walking had to drag it's left leg. It seemed as interested in me and my camera as I was of it and I got a quite a number of shots with a willing model.

 

We had a serious drought in Prince Edward Island this past summer. Grass was not growing fast enough and horses had to be supplemented with dry hay from the year before. This was extremely unusual as our fertile island usually has a healthy rainfall and livestock eats only grass in summer.

 

Something unusual was also very funny. This couple saw me approaching my car so thought I was going to drive down the road. They immediately got in single file and walked the whole way down the road like that.  They were so close and in such exact rhythm that it seemed they were attached by magnets. Very unusual and such fun to watch.

“Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Exploration”

I got myself into a predicament a few weeks ago when I spontaneously decided to hike down to the mouth of a river, on a newly cut trail. For several reasons I decided not to return the same way but to explore the area and go back to the road along the riverbank. This turned out to be a very bad idea because at several areas there was no choice but to walk in deep muck past my ankles. The whole hike was a struggle and I would not do it again unless I was prepared for such conditions. On a positive note, I certainly felt like an explorer, like I was at a place no one had been before.  The scenery was very beautiful and there was lots to discover. It was a spiritual experience and will remain in my memory for a long time.

Cliff Swallow Hotel

Had to get cre8ive to find a shot of a hotel.  Being a rural photographer, I am pretty sure that in my hard drives of photos I don't have one of a hotel. This is as close as I can come.

“Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Sunsets”

 

I am doing a painting of this scene though I am making nicer, more dramatic clouds across the center of the sky with the orange sky above and below the rolling purple clouds. I am liking it so far.

“Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Wildlife”

I have taken many, many shots of foxes over the many years from my home in PEI.  I don't feed foxes as I don't like to interfere in any way with a wild animals. Foxes are dangerous to cats, small dogs and children if they are encouraged on a property.  I don't feed them as I say, but have a lot of apple trees. Birds and animals come to eat the fallen apples throughout the year. I have shots of them on my deck so am very careful that I leave no food outside. They are very beautiful though, so I have been pulling out the camera over several years.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Water

This is a friend but only because I have no shots of myself floating in the water. Nothing relieves the stress of a day like a five minute float. For many years I worked from home, a full time artist/craftsperson.  Every couple of hours during the hot summer I would drive three minutes to the beach, float for five or ten minutes, dry off, and come home totally cooled and refreshed; cooled in the body and refreshed in the body, mind, and spirit. I don't do it daily any more and usually walk to the beach, but every chance I get I float in the warm water.
