Better be careful David, shooting photos on your tummy in the park, you
might become the subject of a lurking Leica photog hiding in the bushes.
You asked about my paintings, well all my wildlife, except an oil painting
of two swans are all sold. Looking for photos of past work made me want to
paint some more waterfowl. Some are recorded on slides, but I do not have a
scanner to scan them and send to you at this time. Over ten years ago I had
five of my paintings chosen
by Ducks Unlimited of Idaho and Oregon for their state
print.
At the present I've been selling large landscape paintings of this area. I
sold a painting five years ago of the red maple and bridge, on the small
island, in the Japanese garden at Hatley Castle. I was there with my Kodak
2x3 view camera. Wished I would have had a Leica then.
If I ever get a good scanner, I will try to post some of the images taken in
that area.
Sorry for the long post and I hope the others don't think
I'm wasting there time on the list.

Thanks! We like the place too. Where are you located?

Thanks again! :) That one was a true fluke. I was walking in the park
when this migrating goose landed, looking for some grass for lunch. I
slowly got down on my belly and waited. Within 90 seconds he'd walked
close enough for the 80~200 zoom to do it's work!
Sometimes we get lucky! (It's why we take photographs, isn't it?)
You say you paint.. and like Canadian Honkers. Have you painted any? Any
chance you might shoot one of your paintings and post the image on the net
for us to see?
I'm betting you're pretty good! :)
Cheers!
