Halloween Goldfinches

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

Goldfinches are very flighty birds, and it’s rare that I get close enough to be able to take a decent picture of one. Maybe it’s something to do with the lateness of the season, and getting some last-minute food before migrating south, but there were a couple of Goldfinches in Woodbine Park that let me get close enough to take pictures:

Niagara Falls with a Telephoto Lens

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

Took the girls to Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, and while we waited for our room to be ready, we headed to down to see The Falls.

I had my telephoto lens with me, and put it through its paces while at The Falls.
